Which of these is NOT among the five guiding principles of NCF 2005?
AShifting learning away from rote methods
BMaximising marks in board examinations
CMaking examinations more flexible and integrated
DConnecting knowledge to life outside school
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Maximising marks in board examinations
1. The five NCF guiding principles include connecting knowledge to life outside school, shifting away from rote, enriching the curriculum beyond textbooks, making examinations flexible and integrated, and nurturing a democratic identity.
2. Shifting away from rote, flexible examinations, and connecting knowledge to life each match a stated principle directly.
3. Maximising marks in board examinations is not listed and runs against the document's critique of exam stress.
4. Hence maximising marks is the principle that does NOT belong.
