Ambiguity in Questions in UGC NET: Students Appearing in Education Paying Price of UGC's Follies

I had appeared for UGC-NET held in December 2012 and I would like to draw your kind attention to the following questions asked in Education subject (Paper III& Paper II) of NET held in Dec. 2012:- I - NET Dec.2012 EDUCATION PAPER III (D-09-12) Following question was asked at S.No. 60- Delinquency is committed by the children of the age group (A) 8 – 18 years (B) 6 -14 years (C) 7 – 15 years (D) 9 – 19 years The Answer as per Your Updated Key is (C) 7-15 years The above question was asked in NET of June 2012 in Education (Paper III). It was at S.No. 28 and the question was:- Delinquency is committed by the children in age group of (A) 7 – 15 years (B) 8 – 18 years (C) 6 – 14 years (D) 9 – 19 years The answer as per your Final Key was B (8-18 Years) - How come the answer of a same type of question changed in just a few months time? - If option B i.e. 8-18 years was correct in NET of June 2012 as per UGC exam. Key then how this option i.e 8-18 years became wrong during NET of Dec. 2012? II)- NET DEC.2012 EDUCATION (PAPER II) ( D-09-12) Following question was asked at S.No. 16- Beginning with family as the lowest unit which of the following constitutes correctly sequenced hierarchy of social group ? (A) Nation – Race – Class – Tribe– Family. (B) Family – Class – Tribe – Race– Nation (C) Family – Tribe – Race – Class– Nation. (D) Family – Race – Class – Tribe– Nation. The answer as per your Key is B (Family – Class – Tribe – Race– Nation.) The above question was asked in NET of June 2012 in Education (Paper III), J-09-12. It was at S.No. 63 and the question was:- Beginning with the “family”, which of the following constitutes correctly sequenced hierarchy of social groups ? (A) Nation – race – class – tribe – family (B) Family – class – race – tribe – nation (C) Family – tribe – race – class – nation (D) Family – race – class – tribe – Nation The answer as per your updated key was B (Family – class – race – tribe – nation) - If Option B i.e. Family – class – race – tribe – nation is the correct answer in NET June 2012 then how can option B i.e. Family – Class – Tribe – Race– Nation could be correct in NET of Dec. 2012 when the entire sequence of this option is different. Hence all the options of question no. 16 of NET DEC. 2012 EDUCATION (PAPER II) ( D-09-12) are wrong. As such the question should have been dropped due to ambiguity.

A single mark is important for clearing NET and such silly mistakes were not expected from such a prestigious institution like UGC. By making such  mistakesand not entertaining objections in this reagrd the UGC is playing with the career of many deserving students.

Lets get united to highlight the follies of UGC NET so that all deserving candidates can get justice..
