UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

DIKSHA serves as a national digital infrastructure for school education, hosting interactive textbooks, lesson plans, videos and quizzes aligned with curricula. Teachers can access professional development modules and share resources, while students can learn using QR-coded textbooks and mobile apps. The platform thus integrates ICT into everyday teaching and learning processes.

Option A:
Option A correctly presents DIKSHA as an educational content and training platform, not as a purely administrative or entertainment portal. It highlights mobile and web delivery, which are key ICT components.

Option B:
Option B about cricket matches has no relation to school education or digital learning content.

Option C:
Option C directly contradicts DIKSHA’s purpose of promoting, not banning, digital resource use.

Option D:
Option D focuses on entertainment benefits unrelated to curriculum-based learning or teacher development.

Statements A, B and C present realistic ways in which ICT strengthens school education, from digital curricula to smart classrooms and remedial practice. Statement D is false because textbooks still play a role in many blended and transitional learning contexts. ICT complements, rather than automatically replaces, print resources. Hence the combination A, B and C only is correct.

Option A:
Option A is correct because it groups the three statements that represent complementary roles for ICT in schools. It recognises repositories, smart classrooms and remedial modules as valid uses without assuming total textbook elimination. By excluding D, it reflects current blended learning practice.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it excludes B and retains only A and C as correct. While A and C are true, B is also correct in describing smart classroom infrastructure. Leaving out B makes the description of ICT in schools incomplete.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it includes B, C and D as correct statements, thereby accepting D. Statement D overstates ICT’s impact by declaring textbooks unnecessary in all cases, which is not accurate.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it assumes all four statements are correct. Since D mischaracterises the role of textbooks, any set that includes it cannot be the right answer.
