UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B and D accurately describe meaningful administrative uses of ICT, while C trivialises its role and is false. Student Information Systems, automation tools and intelligent timetabling all streamline school operations and communication. Entertainment videos may be used occasionally, but they do not define administrative ICT. Thus, the combination A, B and D only is correct.

Option A:
Option A is incomplete because it lists only A and B and omits D. While record-keeping and timetabling are important, using ICT for timely communication with parents is also a key administrative function.

Option B:
Option B is incomplete because it includes B and D only and leaves out A. A is fundamental, as student record management is a central reason institutions adopt administrative ICT systems.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it combines A, C and D and thereby accepts C. C reduces ICT to entertainment, something that does not reflect its substantial administrative role in modern schools.

Option D:
Option D is correct because it gathers all three true statements and excludes C, which misrepresents ICT as primarily entertainment-focused in school administration.
