UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B and D correctly describe how ICT can strengthen formative assessment, while statement C is clearly false. Online quizzes and response systems give immediate feedback and real-time snapshots of understanding, and analytics dashboards help teachers see trends and adjust instruction. Saying that ICT cannot provide data for improvement contradicts the very purpose of these tools. Therefore the accurate combination is A, B and D only.

Option A:
Option A is incomplete because it includes only A and B and omits D. While immediate feedback and in-class polling are important, learning analytics dashboards described in D also play a significant role in ongoing monitoring. Excluding D leaves out a major benefit of ICT-supported assessment.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it groups B and D only and ignores A. Statement A about online quizzes is central to formative assessment practice in many digital environments. Without it, the set of statements is incomplete.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it presents A, B and C as correct and thereby accepts C. Statement C negates the data-rich possibilities of ICT and conflicts with how formative assessment systems are used. Including it invalidates this combination.

Option D:
Option D is correct because it collects all the true statements and rejects C, which mischaracterises ICT-supported assessment. It highlights feedback, diagnosis and data-informed teaching as key outcomes.
