UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, D and E together show how NEP 2020 is expected to be implemented in higher education. A is correct because the policy speaks of phased and prioritised implementation. B is correct as multiple stakeholders must coordinate for system-level reforms. D is correct since institutions are expected to prepare their own strategic plans under the policy framework. E is correct because teachers and administrators need orientation and training to translate policy into practice. C is incorrect as the policy does not require unrealistically instant implementation, and F is incorrect because monitoring and review are integral to policy execution.

Option A:
Option A is correct because it includes all the statements that are true about NEP 2020 implementation (A, B, D and E) and excludes C and F, which wrongly portray implementation as immediate and unmonitored.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it adds C, thereby accepting the claim that all reforms must be completed within one academic year, which is neither feasible nor stated in NEP 2020.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it includes F, suggesting that monitoring and review are unnecessary; this contradicts the emphasis on continuous review and feedback in policy processes.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it includes C, which exaggerates the speed of implementation, and also omits B, thus ignoring the crucial need for coordination across levels of governance.
