UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

The question asks for the wrong statement about curriculum internationalisation and local relevance. Statement A is correct because adding global perspectives is a key feature of internationalisation. Statement B is correct as curricula can and should integrate local contexts along with global issues. Statement D is also correct since collaborative projects and exchanges with foreign universities enrich curriculum content. Statement C is wrong because internationalisation does not require replacing all local content with foreign material; it seeks a balanced, contextualised approach. Therefore, C alone is the wrong statement.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it groups C with D as wrong statements. While C is indeed incorrect, D accurately describes how collaborations assist curriculum internationalisation, so including it as wrong is unjustified.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it classifies A, B and C as wrong. Both A and B express valid principles of combining global and local perspectives in curriculum design, so they should not be treated as incorrect.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it labels A, C and D as wrong, thereby rejecting two correct statements along with the single wrong one. This undermines the value of global perspectives and collaboration in curriculum design.

Option D:
Option D is correct because it identifies C as the only statement that misrepresents internationalisation. It keeps A, B and D, which support a nuanced, contextual and collaborative understanding of curriculum development.

Statements A, C and D accurately describe internationalisation at home. They show that global perspectives can be built through curriculum and campus diversity, virtual collaborations with foreign institutions and use of international case studies and readings. Statements B, E and F are false because internationalisation at home is not limited to physical mobility, language learning supports it and local issues can be discussed within global contexts.

Option A:
Option A is correct as it selects A, C and D, the three true statements about curriculum, virtual links and globalised teaching materials, while excluding B, E and F, which narrow or misdirect internationalisation efforts.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it omits D and therefore underplays the importance of integrating global examples and readings into course content.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect as it includes E, which treats language learning as unrelated, contrary to its recognised role in internationalisation strategies.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it includes B, which restricts internationalisation to sending students abroad, and thereby conflicts with the very idea of internationalisation “at home”.
