UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

The policy recommends low-stakes achievement surveys at Grades 3, 5 and 8 and continued board examinations at Grades 10 and 12. This pattern monitors learning periodically and helps identify gaps early. The emphasis is on competency-based, not memory-based, assessment.

Option A:
This option aligns with the idea of “public examinations” in addition to board exams.

Option B:
Having exams only at Grade 12 would miss early diagnosis opportunities.

Option C:
Monthly high-stakes exams from Grade 1 would be highly stressful and contrary to NEP.

Option D:
Only one exam in the whole schooling is neither realistic nor policy-supported.
