UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A and B correctly describe the core purposes of ERP systems in universities, while statements C and D are false. ERP integrates multiple functional areas and automates routine tasks, improving efficiency. It is not designed primarily for entertainment, and reporting is a key feature for decision support, contradicting D. Therefore, the combination A and B only is correct.

Option A:
Option A is incomplete because it mentions integration of processes but ignores the examples of automation given in B. While A is true, it does not alone capture the operational benefits associated with ERP in educational institutions.

Option B:
Option B is correct because it includes both A and B, which together summarise integration and automation roles of ERP systems. It excludes C and D, which wrongly portray ERP as purely entertainment-focused and incapable of reporting. This matches real ICT usage in universities.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it adds C to A and B and treats all three as correct. Statement C is clearly false, since ERP is a serious management tool rather than a system for entertainment. Including it makes the combination invalid.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it asserts that all four statements are correct, thereby accepting both C and D. As ERP systems are central to institutional management and reporting, these two statements are wrong and invalidate the option.
