UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 suggests that HEIs may use common entrance tests conducted by reliable agencies like NTA, with clearly stated criteria and processes, to reduce student burden and enhance fairness, objectivity and transparency in admissions.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because interviews alone can be highly subjective and are not sufficient for fair, merit-based selection.

Option B:
Option B is correct as it reflects NEP’s recommendation for standardised, high-quality common tests plus transparent procedures to improve equity in admissions.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect since donation-based admissions are explicitly against NEP’s equity and ethics principles.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because secretly changing criteria each year undermines trust and fairness, which NEP wants to strengthen.
