UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 aims for 100% GER in school education from pre-school to secondary level by 2030, which corresponds to completion up to Grade 12 or its equivalent.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because restricting the target only to Grade 5 underestimates the policy’s ambition beyond primary schooling.

Option B:
Option B is wrong since limiting universalisation to Grade 8 stops at the middle stage, while NEP clearly extends it to secondary level.

Option C:
Option C is correct as it accurately reflects the goal of universal access and completion up to the end of secondary education (around Grade 12).

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because focusing only on pre-primary ignores the need to ensure universal participation through all subsequent stages of school.
