Equity and inclusive education measures – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B, D and E correctly explain equity and inclusion measures. A is true because reservation and scholarships widen participation for disadvantaged groups. B is true as inclusive campuses provide ramps, assistive technologies and other supports. D is true since bridge and remedial courses help students who may lack prior exposure. E is true because gender-sensitive facilities and support services are part of equity frameworks. C is false because constitutional values explicitly underpin equity policies, and F is false because equity does not mean excluding privileged groups but ensuring fair opportunities for all.

Option A:
Option A is correct as it includes all four accurate statements on access, disability support, bridge courses and gender-sensitive measures, while excluding C and F, which misinterpret the normative basis and practical meaning of equity.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it adds C, which denies the relationship between equity and constitutional values, confusing the legal and ethical foundation of equity policies.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it introduces F, which advocates exclusion of privileged groups, and omits A, thereby distorting equity as reverse discrimination.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it combines A with C and F, mixing correct ideas about reservation with false statements that separate equity from constitutional values and promote exclusion.
