UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 supports a graded autonomy system in which institutions that achieve higher accreditation status and demonstrate quality gain greater freedom in academic and administrative matters, creating incentives for improvement while maintaining accountability.

Option A:
Random allocation of autonomy would be unfair and ineffective and is not suggested anywhere in the policy.

Option B:
This option is correct because it reflects the graded-autonomy model linking quality assurance with institutional freedom.

Option C:
Claiming that accreditation and autonomy are unrelated ignores the explicit connection NEP makes between them.

Option D:
Granting autonomy only to unaccredited institutions would be risky and contrary to principles of quality assurance.
