UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 recognises that properly designed technology can greatly support learners with disabilities. It recommends the use of assistive tools such as screen readers, captioning and alternative input devices, and calls for accessible digital content to promote inclusive education.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because NEP does not reject technology for disabled learners; it sees it as a major enabler when used appropriately.

Option B:
Option B is correct as it directly reflects NEP’s advocacy of assistive and accessible technologies to remove barriers and foster inclusion.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect; using only generic tools without accessibility features leaves many learners unable to participate fully.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because excluding learners with disabilities from digital tools would contradict NEP’s equity and inclusion goals.

NEP 2020 recognises that unequal access to devices and internet can widen inequalities. It calls for targeted provision of hardware, local offline content, community access points and capacity building for teachers. These measures make digital learning more inclusive and effective.

Option A:
Assuming equal access ignores socio-economic disparities and contradicts NEP’s caution about the digital divide.

Option B:
This option reflects the multi-pronged, equity-focused strategy suggested in the policy.

Option C:
Limiting technology to elite schools would deepen inequality, not reduce it.

Option D:
Completely replacing books with costly devices without support would exclude many learners.
