UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, C, D and E correctly present the supportive guidance and counselling role of teachers. Teachers advise on educational matters, identify students needing specialised help, maintain trust and confidentiality and integrate guidance with daily teaching. Statement B is false because teacher counselling cannot fully replace the work of trained professionals, and F is false as guidance extends far beyond discipline to include academic, personal and career concerns. Thus, the correct set of statements is A, C, D and E only, making option A the right answer.

Option A:
Option A contains A, C, D and E, all of which align with a comprehensive view of the teacher’s guidance role. As it correctly omits B and F, A, C, D and E only is the valid combination.

Option B:
Option B adds B to A, C and D, but B exaggerates the scope of teacher counselling by claiming it always replaces professional services. Therefore A, B, C and D only is not acceptable.

Option C:
Option C groups A, D, E and F but F wrongly equates guidance with mere discipline and control. Hence A, D, E and F only cannot be chosen.

Option D:
Option D contains B, C, D and F and features both B and F, which are false. Thus B, C, D and F only is not the right answer.

Option E selects A, B, E and F and keeps both false statements B and F, while leaving out C. Therefore A, B, E and F only is not correct.

Option F lists C, D, E and F, but F narrows guidance to discipline. Hence C, D, E and F only cannot be accepted.

Statements A, B, D and F accurately depict guidance and counselling roles. A is true because guidance assists in educational and career choices. B is true as counselling supports learners facing personal or social difficulties. D is true since serious cases may require specialist intervention, and F is true because trust encourages students to share concerns. C is false because teachers have important guidance responsibilities, and E is false since confidentiality is central to effective counselling; thus A, B, D and F only is the correct combination.

Option A:
Option A includes A, B and D but omits F, ignoring the importance of a trusting classroom climate for informal guidance. Consequently A, B and D only is incomplete.

Option B:
Option B assembles A, B, D and F, combining academic, personal support, referral and trust, while excluding C and E, which deny teacher roles and confidentiality. Hence A, B, D and F only is correct.

Option C:
Option C accepts E, which incorrectly minimises confidentiality, so B, D, E and F only cannot be valid.

Option D:
Option D contains C, which wrongly removes teachers from guidance, making A, C, D and F only inconsistent with school practices.
