UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, C and D correctly describe the roles of the respective professional councils. AICTE oversees technical education such as engineering and management, NCTE is responsible for teacher education, and the Bar Council of India regulates legal education and professional standards. Statement B is wrong because the National Medical Commission deals with medical education and profession, not teacher education. Thus, the correct combination must include A, C and D while excluding B.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because, although it includes A and C which are correct, it omits D. Since the Bar Council of India does regulate legal education, excluding D means the combination does not contain all the true statements.

Option B:
Option B is correct because it brings together all and only the correct statements about the roles of the different regulatory bodies. It recognises AICTE’s technical education jurisdiction, NCTE’s authority over teacher education, and the Bar Council’s regulation of law education, while rightly excluding the misplaced claim about the National Medical Commission.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it includes B, which misattributes teacher education to the National Medical Commission. Even though C is correct, the presence of B makes the combination inaccurate.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it treats B, C and D as correct. This wrongly validates statement B about NMC regulating teacher education. Since a correct option cannot include a false statement, this combination is not acceptable.
