UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 promotes a holistic approach to assessing HEIs. Quality evaluation must consider teaching-learning practices, research performance, student support systems, governance and measurable learning outcomes, not just physical facilities.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because infrastructure alone is an incomplete indicator of quality and is not the primary focus of NEI quality assessment in NEP.

Option B:
Option B is correct as it summarises the broad, multi-dimensional quality criteria (teaching, research, support and outcomes) that NEP emphasises.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect; simply counting the number of courses says nothing about their depth, relevance or effectiveness.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect since age by itself does not guarantee quality; NEP recognises that both old and new institutions can be excellent or poor.
