UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

The question requires identification of the wrong statements about university governance bodies. Statement A is wrong because the Academic Council is primarily concerned with academic matters such as curricula and examinations, not financial auditing. Statement C is wrong as the Finance Committee deals mainly with financial planning and budgeting, not academic regulations. Statements B and D are broadly correct in describing the role of the Executive Council and listing common statutory bodies.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it selects only A as wrong and overlooks C. The misattribution of academic functions to the Finance Committee in statement C is also erroneous. By failing to include C, this option does not capture all the wrong statements.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it treats only C as wrong, ignoring the inaccuracy in statement A. Assigning financial auditing and budget approval as the main responsibility of the Academic Council misrepresents a core academic body. Therefore this option is incomplete.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it groups A, B and C as wrong statements. Statement B correctly describes the Executive Council or Syndicate as an apex executive authority implementing university decisions. Including B among wrong statements makes the option internally inconsistent.

Option D:
Option D is correct because it identifies A and C as the statements that misplace academic and financial responsibilities. It leaves out B and D, which accurately characterise key governance bodies and statutory structures. Thus this combination best reflects the actual distribution of functions in a typical university.
