Curriculum load and flexibility – UGC NET Question

NEP 2020 states that Indian curricula are overloaded with facts. It proposes focusing on key concepts and skills while giving students space to pursue interests through projects and choice-based modules. This balance supports both foundation and personalisation.

Option A:
Adding more topics without reducing anything increases stress and superficial understanding.

Option B:
This option reflects the dual objective of lighter but deeper curricula with more learner choice.

Option C:
Removing all compulsory subjects would undermine common foundations needed for citizenship and work.

Option D:
Imposing one rigid sequence everywhere ignores local contexts and school innovation.
