UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, D and E describe central features of modern student information systems. They manage key records, enforce role-based access, integrate with LMSs for enrolment and maintain audit trails for accountability. Statement C is false because all critical databases require backups to guard against corruption or hardware failure. Statement F is false since sharing credentials undermines security and traceability, so the correct combination retains A, B, D and E only.

Option A:
Option A is incomplete because it omits E and so does not mention audit trails, which are important for monitoring changes and investigating errors. A, B and D are true but do not fully describe how SIS ensures accountability.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it includes F, which approves sharing credentials among staff. This practice weakens security and makes it difficult to attribute actions to specific users, so the presence of F invalidates the option.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it includes F and omits A. Excluding A ignores the basic storage role of SIS, and accepting F recommends insecure behaviour, so B, D, E and F cannot be correct.

Option D:
Option D is correct because it unites data management, access control, system integration and auditability in one set. It correctly rejects the idea that backups are unnecessary and that credential sharing is acceptable, providing a realistic view of SIS use.
