Teacher recruitment transparency – UGC NET Question

NEP 2020 emphasises that teacher recruitment should be transparent and merit based, drawing on eligibility tests and demonstration lessons to assess both subject knowledge and pedagogical skills.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because informal hiring based on personal contacts can undermine fairness, accountability and teacher quality.

Option B:
Option B is correct as it summarises the requirement for rule bound, publicly advertised and merit oriented recruitment processes.

Option C:
Option C is wrong since appointments based solely on political recommendations contradict the professionalisation of teaching.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because handwriting speed alone is not a meaningful indicator of a teacher’s competence or understanding of the subject.
