  • Analysis-based

UGC NET Law questions from this unit are almost always one of four kinds:

  • Memory-based: who said it, which case, which article, which year, which country has which feature (e.g., "Which country has an Ombudsman called Justitieombudsmannen?").

  • Concept-based: define or identify a concept (e.g., formal vs substantive rule of law; dual vs cooperative federalism).

  • Match-the-following / assertion-reason: matching scholars with ideas, cases with principles, countries with institutions.

  • Analysis-based: statements marked true or false, "which of the following is correct", chronological ordering of events, and odd-one-out.
