UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, C and E are correct in describing NAAC accreditation. A is true because NAAC uses a multi-criteria framework covering curriculum, teaching–learning, research and governance. C is true as NAAC outcomes provide diagnostic information for institutional improvement plans. E is true since student and stakeholder feedback is a recognised input in the assessment process. B is false because NAAC accreditation is valid only for a specified period and requires reaccreditation. D is false because both colleges and universities are eligible for NAAC assessment. F is false because internal quality assurance like IQAC remains necessary even after accreditation.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it adds B, implying permanent validity of accreditation, which contradicts NAAC norms that require periodic reassessment.

Option B:
Option B is correct as it selects A, C and E, the three statements that accurately reflect NAAC’s evaluation scope, improvement orientation and use of feedback, while excluding B, D and F which misrepresent validity, coverage and internal quality roles.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it links correct statements C and E with F, which wrongly suggests that NAAC makes internal mechanisms unnecessary; this creates a mixed and therefore invalid combination.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it includes D and F, both of which are false, and omits C, giving a distorted view of NAAC’s institutional coverage and relationship with internal quality systems.
