Informal education is also often termed as

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: A

Informal education is also often termed incidental education. It happens by chance in everyday life, through family, friends, play, the media and work, without a planned curriculum or a teacher.

Non-formal education is planned but outside the formal school, lifelong education covers learning through life, and continuing education refers to later study after formal schooling. So the best match for informal education is incidental education.

The following is not a scale of numerical measurement :

Code :

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

The nominal scale is not a scale of numerical measurement. It only names or classifies things into categories, such as gender or religion, and the numbers if used are mere labels with no order or size.

The ordinal scale gives rank order, the interval scale has equal units without a true zero, and the ratio scale has equal units with a true zero. These three carry numerical meaning, so the nominal scale is the answer.

Home Science at undergraduate level was first introduced in India in

I. Lady Irwin College, New Delhi
II. Women's Christian College, Chennai
III. Mount Carmel College, Bangalore
IV. Queen Mary's College, Chennai
Code :

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

Home Science at undergraduate level was first introduced in the Women's Christian College, Chennai and in Queen Mary's College, Chennai, according to the key. So II and IV are correct.

Lady Irwin College, New Delhi was founded in 1932 and is noted for its Home Science, but the key does not treat it as the first at degree level. Mount Carmel College, Bangalore is not accepted either, so option C is right.

A negatively skewed distribution has following characteristics :

I. distribution skewed to left
II. distribution skewed to right
III. median is greater than mean
IV. median is lesser than mean
Code :

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

In a negatively skewed distribution the tail extends to the left, so the distribution is skewed to the left, and the median is greater than the mean because the mean is pulled down by the low values. So I and III are correct.

Statement II describes positive skew and statement IV is the opposite of the true relation. Hence options A, B and D are wrong. A quick rule is that the mean lies in the direction of the tail, so for a left tail the mean is below the median and the median is above the mean.

Assertion (A) : Formal education is the highly institutionalised and hierarchical structured education system.

Reason (R) : Formal education makes it more easy for students from the weaker section of the society to re-enter it.
Codes :

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

The assertion is correct and the reason is wrong. Formal education is a highly institutionalised, hierarchically structured system that runs from primary school to university.

It is rigid in age, entry and timing, and it makes re-entry difficult for students from the weaker sections who have dropped out. That is why non-formal education is offered. So the reason is false and option B is correct. In contrast, non-formal education has flexible entry and timings and is meant to reach those left out of the formal system.

Arrange the essential phases of the extension educational process in correct sequence.

I. Teaching
II. Deciding upon objectives
III. Analysis of the situation
IV. Reconsideration
V. Evaluation
Codes :

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: D

The phases of the extension educational process are analysis of the situation (III), deciding upon objectives (II), teaching (I), evaluation (V) and reconsideration (IV). So the order is III, II, I, V, IV.

Options A, B and C put teaching or objectives before the situation has been analysed, or place reconsideration before evaluation, which goes against the process. The process thus runs from understanding the people to teaching them and then judging the results before revising the programme.

Arrange the steps for the test of a hypothesis in correct sequence

I. Decide on the region of rejection (α)
II. State the hypothesis to be tested
III. State the alternate hypothesis
IV. Collect data
V. State the research question
VI. Apply relevant statistical test and calculate the test statistic
VII. Reject Ho if test statistic falls in region of rejection
Codes :

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

The correct steps are: state the research question (V), state the hypothesis to be tested (II), state the alternate hypothesis (III), decide on the region of rejection (I), collect data (IV), apply the relevant test and calculate the statistic (VI) and reject Ho if the statistic falls in the region of rejection (VII). So the order is V, II, III, I, IV, VI, VII.

The other options collect data before stating the hypothesis, or fix the region of rejection after the test, which invalidates the procedure.

Match the Non-formal Education initiatives in India with the year of its implementation.

List - IList - II
I. National Literacy Mission (NLM)1. 1989
II. Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA)2. 1967
III. Jan Shikshan Sansthan (JSS)3. 2001
IV. National Institute of Open School (NIOS)4. 1988

Codes : I II III IV

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

The National Literacy Mission began in 1988 (4), Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan in 2001 (3), the Jan Shikshan Sansthan scheme in 1967 (2, from its origin as the Shramik Vidyapeeth) and the National Institute of Open Schooling in 1989 (1). So the code is 4, 3, 2, 1.

The other options pair the Mission or the Abhiyan with the wrong year, such as giving SSA the year 1989 or 1988. The Jan Shikshan Sansthan, earlier called the Shramik Vidyapeeth, offers vocational training to adult learners in non-formal mode.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: A

The key pairs independent variable with manipulation under the control of the experimenter (vi), Kruskal-Wallis test with analysis of qualitative (ordinal) data (i), Z score with standardized score (v), t-test with test of difference between two groups (iii) and dependent variable with performance of the group not under the control of the experimenter (ii). So the code is vi, i, v, iii, ii.

The Z score and the t-test pairs are certain. Options B, C and D give the independent variable the wrong meaning or pair the Z score with a post hoc comparison.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

The women's centre created at village level under the National Mission for Empowerment of Women is the Poorna Shakti Kendra. These centres are meant to be a one-stop point for convergence of schemes, with information, services and training for rural women.
