Advantages of ICT in teaching – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B and D correctly highlight major advantages of ICT in teaching–learning, while statement C is clearly incorrect. ICT makes it possible to use multiple media formats and facilitates self-paced access to rich learning resources from across the world. However, it cannot guarantee identical learning speed or outcomes for all students because individual differences remain. Therefore, the combination that includes A, B and D but excludes C is the only fully correct set of statements.

Option A:
Option A is correct because it brings together the three true statements, A, B and D, and leaves out the false claim in C. It recognises that ICT supports multimodal, individualized and globally connected learning. Since it does not include the unrealistic guarantee in statement C, this option accurately reflects the real advantages of ICT.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it lists only A and B as correct, omitting D. While A and B are true, statement D is also correct in noting that ICT connects learners to a wide range of global resources. By failing to include D, this option does not capture all the correct statements.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it treats B and C as the correct set. Although B is true, statement C is false as ICT does not ensure identical pace and outcomes for all learners. Including C and excluding A and D makes this combination both incomplete and partially wrong.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it accepts all four statements as correct, thereby including C. Since statement C overstates the power of ICT by promising equal speed and outcomes for every student, this set cannot be considered accurate. A correct option must exclude that false statement.
