UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B and D accurately reflect anti-ragging measures. A is true because ragging is banned and punishable under law and institutional codes. B is true as institutions establish committees and squads to monitor hostels and campuses. D is also true since anonymous or confidential reporting channels are often created to protect complainants. Statement C is false because institutions explicitly reject ragging as a permissible part of campus culture. Thus, A, B and D only are correct.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it includes A and B but omits D, failing to acknowledge the importance of safe reporting mechanisms that allow victims or witnesses to raise complaints without fear.

Option B:
Option B is correct because it brings together the three measures—legal prohibition, institutional committees and complaint channels—while excluding C, which normalises ragging contrary to law and policy.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because, while B and D are true, it omits A and thus does not mention that ragging itself is formally prohibited, which is central to the anti-ragging framework.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it groups A with C and D, thereby accepting C’s idea of “mild ragging” as culture, which directly conflicts with the zero-tolerance stance of regulations.
