UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 frequently refers to SEDGs as groups that face barriers due to social and economic conditions. These include SCs, STs, OBCs, minority communities, girls, differently-abled persons and others. Special schemes and funds are proposed to support them. The acronym explicitly stands for Socio-Economically Disadvantaged Groups.

Option A:
Option A mis-expands the acronym and does not relate to equity concerns.

Option B:
This option matches the text of NEP and clarifies the focus on disadvantaged learners.

Option C:
Option C invents a meaning that refers only to graduates, which is not the usage in the policy.

Option D:
Option D is unrelated to the equity framework described in NEP.
