This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2018 Paper 1 Question Paper (8-Jul-2018)
The correct answer is

Clinic

The question is asking us to identify a type of meeting where a selected group of people with common interests come together to discuss real-life situations and problems, with the goal of diagnosing, analyzing, and finding solutions to specific issues. The correct answer is "Clinic."

Let's understand why "Clinic" is the appropriate choice by analyzing each given option:

  • Clinic: In this context, a clinic refers to a session or a meeting designed for diagnosing and addressing particular problems. Participants are usually specialists or people with significant interest in the topic, focusing on problem-solving through discussion and analysis. This matches the description in the question.
  • Symposium: A symposium is generally a formal gathering where experts present their views on a particular topic. It involves speeches, presentations, and discussions but is more about sharing information than seeking specific solutions to problems.
  • Seminars: A seminar is typically an educational event involving discussions and lectures on a specific subject. It's more about disseminating knowledge rather than diagnosing and solving problems.
  • Conferences: Conferences are large meetings where people gather to discuss various topics, network, and share ideas. While solutions may be discussed, they are not specifically organized solely around diagnosing and solving specific problems.

Therefore, based on the explanations above, the most appropriate choice is Clinic, as it most accurately fits the provided description of the meeting's purpose and structure.
