| Wrong options for Questions in UGC-NET papers, students aghast | | | Javaid Naikoo
SRINAGAR, Oct 22: To their dismay the students appearing in UGC-NET examination found wrong options to questions in the question paper. In one such case, a shocking revelation found in UGC-NET paper of
December 2012 session had all the wrong options. It was like this (A) P(q) +p(s),(B) GDP-IT S,(C)GDP+DT+S,(D) GDP -DT+S, for question first in paper second of commerce subject which was like this "GDP at factor cost is?
Students and experts of the same subject say that after going through many concerned books the correct answer found for the same question was GDPfc=GDPmp-IT+S and this option was missing in the paper. The students who had appeared for the said test opted for two to three similar questions with wrong answer options found that their marks were deducted.
The students said but for the UGC mistake, they would have feared better in the examination. As per the UGC norms, two months before declaration of results a temporary key is uploaded on their official website which is subjected to change on the bases of students feedback in connection with every recent examination they had conducted.
But in the recently concluded examinations they found that the examination they had taken did not fall under the UGC criteria or had a similar problem of wrong options like the one found in commerce paper.
UGC office bearers most of the times share the marks points of the same question among all the students but according to the students of Commerce subject of December 2012 session, UGC office bearers did not consider the question number first of paper second and question number two of the same paper which ultimately cost them dearly.
Talking to Early Times, students who had acquired 60% of marks points in the examination said that by mere .57% they failed in the said as the cut off mark set by UGC was 60.57%. A student of the same stream said that he had also secured 60% marks in the same examination thereby he also failed by mere .57% marks and incase UGC had considered the feedback system like they did in many other questions for other students and shared the marks equally among all the students, he would have qualified. Students who are presently acquiring information through Right to Information regarding the alleged mistake conducted by the UGC office bearers say that concerned official offer excuses for the lapse. |
