UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B and C are correct, while D is the only wrong statement. A is correct because clear written notices inform students about key dates, examinations and deadlines. B is correct since using multiple channels such as notice boards, email and SMS increases the likelihood that announcements reach everyone. C is correct because vague or incomplete messages often generate confusion and rumours. D is wrong as avoiding written schedules does not teach independence; it usually leaves students uncertain and misinformed.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it marks A and D as wrong statements. A is in fact a correct description of the role of clear written notices in institutional communication. Although D is wrong, combining it with A produces an inaccurate set of wrong statements.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it lists B and D as wrong. B accurately states that using multiple channels can improve the reach of announcements. Including B among wrong statements misrepresents effective communication practice.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it groups C and D as wrong statements. C is actually correct in noting that vague announcements can trigger confusion and rumours. Therefore, pairing C with D as wrong makes this combination logically inconsistent.

Option D:
Option D is correct because it singles out D only as the wrong statement. D wrongly suggests that institutions should avoid giving written schedules, which would undermine transparency and planning. By leaving A, B and C outside the wrong set as correct statements, this option matches the actual pattern of correctness.

Statements A, B, C and E are correct, whereas D is incorrect. A is true because reducing unnecessary sound and movement minimises physical noise. B is true since repeating or visually emphasising key points provides backup when part of the message is lost. C is true as questioning helps the teacher diagnose whether learners have missed something. E is true because using more than one channel creates alternative pathways for meaning. D is false because teachers can influence psychological noise by building interest, reducing anxiety and creating a supportive climate. Therefore, D only is the wrong statement.

Option A:
Option A treats both A and D as wrong, but A correctly describes a practical strategy for reducing physical noise. Including A among wrong statements contradicts common classroom management practice, so A and D only cannot be accepted.

Option B:
Option B labels C and D as wrong, yet C accurately points out that checking understanding reveals the effects of noise. Misclassifying C undermines the diagnostic role of questioning, making C and D only an invalid option.

Option C:
Option C correctly identifies D only as the incorrect statement. It acknowledges that psychological noise is not entirely beyond teacher influence and that the other statements present valid strategies for managing different types of noise. Thus, D only is the correct answer.

Option D:
Option D lists B, C and D as wrong, but both B and C describe sound strategies for dealing with noise. Including them with D in a set of supposed wrong statements results in a logically inconsistent combination, so B, C and D only cannot be accepted.

Statements A, C and E are correct, whereas B, D and F are wrong and together form the correct set of wrong statements. Feedback indeed completes the communication loop, multiple channels can reinforce understanding, and student questions are a clear form of feedback. However, noise can be physical or psychological, communication does not end until meaning is constructed, and channel selection can influence how much noise distorts the message. Thus B, D and F misrepresent key aspects of the communication cycle.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it lists only B and D as wrong and omits F. While B and D are indeed wrong, F also claims that channel choice does not affect exposure to noise, which is false. Leaving F out results in an incomplete set of wrong statements.

Option B:
Option B is correct because it identifies B, D and F as the wrong statements and implicitly recognises that A, C and E are true. This matches communication theory on noise, feedback and channel effects. The option therefore accurately captures all and only the incorrect statements in the item.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect since it wrongly classifies A as wrong along with B, D and F. A correctly states the function of feedback in closing the loop, so including it in the wrong set contradicts basic communication models. Hence this combination cannot be accepted.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it also treats C as wrong, even though C correctly describes the use of multiple channels such as speech and board work. Labelling C as wrong undermines the understanding of multimodal classroom communication. Therefore this option is invalid.
