UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, D and E accurately reflect the role of e-governance and MIS. A is true because automation of key processes is a central purpose of e-governance. B is true since MIS integrates data to support planning and monitoring. D is true as data security and privacy are essential when handling sensitive information. E is true because dashboards summarise key indicators for leadership. C is false because e-governance generally enhances transparency through traceable records, and F is false since manual or alternative backup mechanisms remain important in emergencies.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it excludes E and therefore does not mention how dashboards present data in actionable formats for institutional leaders.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it omits A, leaving out the automation of core transactional processes, which is a primary reason for e-governance adoption.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it fails to include B and instead focuses only on subsets of statements, thus not capturing the full picture of both decision support and automation.

Option D:
Option D is correct as it brings together A, B, D and E, covering automation, information use, security and dashboards, while rejecting C and F, which wrongly describe e-governance as reducing transparency and eliminating all manual backups.
