Institutional announcements and schedules – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B and C are correct, while D is the only wrong statement. A is correct because clear written notices inform students about key dates, examinations and deadlines. B is correct since using multiple channels such as notice boards, email and SMS increases the likelihood that announcements reach everyone. C is correct because vague or incomplete messages often generate confusion and rumours. D is wrong as avoiding written schedules does not teach independence; it usually leaves students uncertain and misinformed.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it marks A and D as wrong statements. A is in fact a correct description of the role of clear written notices in institutional communication. Although D is wrong, combining it with A produces an inaccurate set of wrong statements.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it lists B and D as wrong. B accurately states that using multiple channels can improve the reach of announcements. Including B among wrong statements misrepresents effective communication practice.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it groups C and D as wrong statements. C is actually correct in noting that vague announcements can trigger confusion and rumours. Therefore, pairing C with D as wrong makes this combination logically inconsistent.

Option D:
Option D is correct because it singles out D only as the wrong statement. D wrongly suggests that institutions should avoid giving written schedules, which would undermine transparency and planning. By leaving A, B and C outside the wrong set as correct statements, this option matches the actual pattern of correctness.
