UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B and D correctly identify some core quality indicators. Student–teacher ratios, research and resources are part of teaching and learning related indicators, while retention and placement come under student support and progression. Feedback from different stakeholders is also used both in assessment and improvement planning. Statements C, E and F are incorrect because governance and values matter, documentation and data are essential for assessment, and quality indicators are meant to inform stakeholders and planning rather than remain secret.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it includes only A and B and leaves out D, so it ignores the role of systematic feedback from students, alumni and employers in quality assurance and enhancement.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it includes only B and D and omits A, thereby leaving out central inputs such as student–teacher ratio, research output and learning resources from the quality indicator set.

Option C:
Option C is correct because it combines A, B and D, the three statements that align with NAAC-type quality frameworks, and excludes C, E and F, which deny the importance of governance, data and transparency.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it includes C, which asserts that governance and leadership are ignored in quality assessment, even though they are explicitly included as criteria, so the option becomes inconsistent.
