UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 recognises Sanskrit as a rich classical language and recommends that it be widely offered as an attractive option in schools and universities using innovative and communicative pedagogy, while remaining a matter of student choice.

Option A:
This option incorrectly states that Sanskrit should not be taught, whereas NEP expressly promotes it.

Option B:
This option accurately reflects the policy of widely offering Sanskrit as a valuable but optional language in schools and higher education.

Option C:
Replacing all other Indian languages with Sanskrit would undermine linguistic diversity and is never proposed in NEP.

Option D:
Restricting Sanskrit only to specialised research institutes would prevent ordinary students from learning it, contrary to the policy’s intent.
