UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, D and E capture widely observed features of MOOCs, while C and F are clearly incorrect. Most MOOCs are open-enrolment courses with multimedia material, assessments and peer interaction, offering optional certificates rather than automatic degrees. They also enable self-paced participation for large cohorts. Mobile access is common, and degrees typically require more extensive programmes, so C and F must be excluded from the correct set.

Option A:
Option A is correct because it brings together enrolment scale, course design, fee structure and pacing in a realistic way. It deliberately omits C’s overstatement about degrees and F’s denial of mobile access, aligning the option with actual MOOC practices.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it includes C, which falsely claims universal degree conferral. Even though A, B and D are accurate, combining them with C introduces a serious misconception about the status of most MOOCs.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it accepts F, which ignores the prevalence of mobile-friendly MOOC platforms and dedicated apps. Including F undermines the accuracy of the option, despite some correct components.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it pairs A, D and E with F. Accepting F contradicts the cross-device accessibility often advertised by MOOC providers, making the combination invalid.
