UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

NEP 2020 indicates that students should start getting systematic exposure to vocational skills from Grade 6 onwards. This includes courses within the timetable and local internships or bagless days. Early exposure builds respect for all work and helps students discover interests.

Option A:
Grade 1 is too early for structured vocational modules; the focus is on foundational skills.

Option B:
Grade 3 still belongs to the preparatory stage where core literacy and numeracy dominate.

Option C:
Grade 6 is explicitly mentioned in the policy as the starting point for organised vocational exposure.

Option D:
Waiting until Grade 12 would be too late and would keep vocational education marginal.
