Specifications in a production unit affect all four: consistency in fit, costs, intrinsic quality and the materials used.A specification fixes the measurements, material, construction and finish of the product, so it decides how closely every garment matches the one before it, what the product costs, what quality it has inside and which fabrics and trimmings are needed. Since each of the four is affected, the answer is the code that includes all of them. The same specification is what a buyer uses to compare products, so a change in one clause of it, for example the fabric or the stitch count, passes through to the cost and the quality of the whole lot.

Q: What is the sequence in the production of line assembly for trousers ?(a) Production of back of trousers(b) Production of front of trousers(c) Pre-preparation of pockets, fly and labels(d) Assembling of garment partsCodes :

The line assembly of trousers runs pre-preparation of pockets, fly and labels, production of the back, production of the front and assembling the garment parts, (c), (a), (b), (d).Small components are prepared first so that they can be attached as the sub-assemblies are made, the back and front are then produced and the parts are assembled at the end. Putting the assembly before the sub-assemblies is not workable. In a line assembly, work is divided into operations that are carried out in sequence, with the parts made ready ahead of the main assembly, which is why the small parts such as pockets, fly and labels come at the start.

Assertion (A) : Lock stitch is appropriate for stitching stretch fabrics.

Reason (R) : Lock stitch stretches with fabric stretch.

A.(A) is right, but (R) is wrong.
B.(A) is wrong, but (R) is right.
C.Both (A) and (R) are right.
D.Both (A) and (R) are wrong.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: D

A lock stitch is formed from two threads interlocked in the fabric, and the seam does not stretch, so the thread breaks when a stretch fabric is pulled. It is therefore not suitable for stretch fabrics, which need chain stitch, overlock or zigzag seams that give with the fabric. The assertion is wrong, and so is the reason, which says that lock stitch stretches with the fabric. So both are wrong, option (D). The other options each take one of the two statements as right.

Give the sequence for design development process of garments for fashion industry :

(i) Designing by maintaining identity of brand
(ii) Presentation
(iii) Study of forecast
(iv) Identifying target market
(v) Study of current trends
(vi) Making design brief

A.(vi), (iv), (v), (iii), (i), (ii)
B.(iii), (iv), (ii), (i), (v), (vi)
C.(v), (ii), (iv), (vi), (i), (iii)
D.(i), (v), (iii), (iv), (vi), (ii)

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: A

The key order for the design development process is: make the design brief, identify the target market, study current trends, study the forecast, design while keeping the brand identity, and finally present, which is (vi), (iv), (v), (iii), (i), (ii). The design brief has to come first because it sets out what is to be done, and the presentation comes last because it shows the finished designs. Options that put the presentation before the design are wrong.

Match the garment production systems given in List - I with their descriptions given in List - II :

List - I	List - II
(a) Unit Production System	(i) Empowered work team
(b) Modular Production System	(ii) Assembly of a complete panel by a single operator
(c) Progressive Bundle System	(iii) automatic transfer from workstation to workstation
(d) Section or process production system	(iv) Gradually assembled as bundles more through

Codes :
(a) (b) (c) (d)

A.(i) (iv) (ii) (iii)
B.(iii) (i) (iv) (ii)
C.(ii) (iii) (i) (iv)
D.(iv) (ii) (iii) (i)

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: B

The key pairs the unit production system with automatic transfer from workstation to workstation (iii), the modular system with an empowered work team (i), the progressive bundle system with gradual assembly as bundles move through (iv), and the section or process system with assembly of a complete panel by a single operator (ii). So the match is (a)-(iii), (b)-(i), (c)-(iv), (d)-(ii). A progressive bundle system never gives automatic transfer, so options that pair it with (iii) fail.

Assertion (A) : A dart can be shifted from one place to another without changing the fit of the garment.

Reason (R) : In shifting of darts, angle of the darts remain same.
Codes :

A.Both (A) and (R) are correct.
B.Both (A) and (R) are incorrect.
C.(A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect.
D.(A) is incorrect, but (R) is correct.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: A

Both statements are correct, which is the first option. A dart can be moved from one place to another around the bust point in pattern making without changing the fit of the garment, since the shaping is the same, and the angle of the dart stays the same when it is shifted. The other options call one or both of the statements incorrect, so they are rejected. The rule in pattern making is that the dart may be moved to the shoulder, waist, armhole or side seam while its point stays at the bust, and the fit is the same since the dart takes up the same amount of fullness.

Give the correct sequence in the merchandizing of apparels :

I. Fabric sourcing
II. Production execution and tracking
III. Costing and negotiations
IV. Preparing lab dippings, printing etc.
V. Developing sample
Codes :

A.III, I, IV, V, II
B.III, I, IV, II, V
C.I, II, III, IV, V
D.I, IV, III, II, V

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: A

The key gives III, I, IV, V, II, the first option, as the sequence in the merchandising of apparel: costing and negotiation, fabric sourcing, preparing the lab dips and prints, developing the sample, and finally the execution and tracking of production. The other options put the production or the sample before the fabric and the dips, which cannot be done first. The answer follows the key. Merchandising links the buyer and the factory, so the costing and the negotiation come first and the follow-up of the production comes last, which is why the order of the key begins with III and ends with II.

Which of the following garment finishers is used for finishing number of garments together ?

A.Form press
B.Tunnel
C.Buck Press
D.Die Press

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

The garment finisher used to finish a number of garments together is the tunnel finisher.

In a tunnel finisher the garments hang on hangers and travel on a conveyor through a chamber of steam and hot air, so many garments are steamed and dried in one continuous operation. A form press, a buck press and a die press are pressing machines that handle one garment, or one part of it, at a time. That is why a tunnel finisher is suited to a factory finishing many garments of the same kind, such as shirts or uniforms, while the pressing machines of the other options serve an individual piece.

A specification fixes the measurements, material, construction and finish of the product, so it decides how closely every garment matches the one before it, what the product costs, what quality it has inside and which fabrics and trimmings are needed. Since each of the four is affected, the answer is the code that includes all of them.

What is the sequence in the production of line assembly for trousers ?

(a) Production of back of trousers
(b) Production of front of trousers
(c) Pre-preparation of pockets, fly and labels
(d) Assembling of garment parts
Codes :

A.(c), (a), (b), (d)
B.(d), (a), (c), (b)
C.(a), (c), (d), (b)
D.(b), (d), (c), (a)

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: A

The line assembly of trousers runs pre-preparation of pockets, fly and labels, production of the back, production of the front and assembling the garment parts, (c), (a), (b), (d).

Small components are prepared first so that they can be attached as the sub-assemblies are made, the back and front are then produced and the parts are assembled at the end. Putting the assembly before the sub-assemblies is not workable. In a line assembly, work is divided into operations that are carried out in sequence, with the parts made ready ahead of the main assembly, which is why the small parts such as pockets, fly and labels come at the start.

Principles in textile design are :

I. Proportion
II. Balance
III. Light
IV. Harmony
V. Rhythm
Codes :

A.I, II, III, IV are correct.
B.I, II, IV, V are correct.
C.II, III, IV, V are correct.
D.III, I, II, IV are correct.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

The principles of design in textiles are proportion, balance, harmony and rhythm, with emphasis as another. These are items I, II, IV and V, so the second code is right.

Light is not a principle of design. It is an element of the setting that affects how colour appears, or is sometimes treated with colour as an element. The codes with item III are therefore wrong.

Proportion is the relation of parts to each other and to the whole, balance is the visual equality of weight, harmony is the unity of the parts, and rhythm is the movement of the eye across the design. These four are what the design textbooks list together as principles.

Give the correct sequence of work that goes in the cutting room of the garment industry.

I. Spreading the fabric to form a lay.
II. Cutting the fabric
III. Planning and reproduction of marker.
IV. Bundling of cutwork for the sewing room.
Codes :

A.III, I, II, IV
B.I, II, III, IV
C.II, III, IV, I
D.IV, III, II, I

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: A

The work in the cutting room of a garment factory goes in this order: planning and reproduction of the marker (III), spreading the fabric to form a lay (I), cutting the fabric (II), and bundling the cut work for the sewing room (IV). So the code is III, I, II, IV.

The marker must be made first so that it can be laid on the spread fabric before cutting, and bundling follows the cutting. The other codes place cutting before the marker or the spreading, which cannot be done.
