UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, D and E together align with good practice in ICT governance. Policies must cover acceptable use and academic integrity, include explicit incident-reporting procedures and be shaped with input from stakeholders so that they are practical and accepted. Statement C is false because policies require periodic review to remain relevant amidst rapid technological change. Statement F is also false since policies apply institution-wide and cannot be ignored on the basis of personal opinion, so only A, B, D and E are correct.

Option A:
Option A is incomplete because it omits E, thus neglecting the role of consultation in crafting workable policies. Without stakeholder engagement, policies may be ignored or misunderstood, so A, B and D alone are not enough.

Option B:
Option B is incomplete because it excludes A and thus fails to mention acceptable use of networks and devices, one of the core domains of ICT policy. While B and E are true and D is correct, the absence of A makes the set partial.

Option C:
Option C is incomplete because it leaves out B and captures only A, D and E. Academic integrity and misuse of ICT in assessment are critical policy concerns, so omitting B weakens the accuracy of this combination.

Option D:
Option D is correct because it collects all the true statements while omitting C and F, which undermine the dynamism and binding nature of policy. It represents a comprehensive and ethical approach to institutional ICT governance.
