Directions (Q. 151-160) : Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given
below it. Certain words/phrases have been printed in bold to help you locate them while
answering some of the questions.
Right of entry to education, an ample teaching-learning environment, a suitable curriculum and
an empowered and all-encompassing faculty are four essential prerequisites of an education system
that seeks to enable social transformation. While educational reform since the 1980s was strongly
focused on the first two elements, the late 1990s brought the role of the curriculum into national
focus. The critical link that binds these four critical elements together-the activity of the facultycontinues to be cast aside by political ideologies of most hues, contemporary curriculum reform
efforts and the professional practices of the faculty.
Far-reaching educational initiatives of both the Left and the Right have recognised the potential
power of the faculty. In multiple experiments, they have used this dormant force to build committed
institutions and cadres of facilities dedicated to their particular causes. In many instances, this has
led to extreme politicisation of the college faculty. In others, it has led to the education of a generation
of students in half-truths underpinned by the personal beliefs, sectarian concerns and folk pedagogy
of faculties who have had little access themselves to education and training in related areas.
Over the last decade or so, educational reform has included, apart from access, a focus on
developing alternative text materials and the training of faculty to handle these materials, without
directly engaging with the issue of curriculum revamp. At the turn of the 20th century, a major
national curriculum redesign was initiated following the change of political regime at the centre. The
subsequent development of college programme came under wide public scrutiny and debate. Issues
of equity, inclusion and exclusion, learner medley, religious identity and communalism gained
considerable importance in the curriculum debates that followed. For instance, scholars argued that
... the curriculum, while loud on rhetoric, fails to address the quality of education that students of
underprivileged and marginalised groups experience. Several other critics described the revised
curriculum as a retrogressive step in education that sought to impose the religious agenda in the
garb of national identity.
The subsequent change of national government in 2004 led to the curriculum review in 2005,
underlining a new political interest in the role of education in national development, its role in social
mobilisation and transformation directed specifically at questions of caste and gender asymmetry
and minority empowerment. Deeper than these politically driven initiatives, however, the professional
need for curriculum review emerges from the long ossification of a national education system that
continues to view faculty as dispensers of information and students as passive recipients of an
education sought to be delivered in four-walled classrooms with little scope to develop critical
thinking and understanding.
Prior to 1990, what was NOT the agenda of the educational reforms?
(A) An appropriate curriculum
(B) Well-managed admission process
1) Only (A)
2) Only (B)
3) Both (A) and (B)
4) Either (A) or (B) 5) None of these
Which of the following best describes the phrase passive recipients as used in the passage?
1) The users of the educational system
2) The political ideology of right and left parties
3) Well-framed curriculum guiding the teaching/learning process
4) Free access to education system

Directions (Q. 191-200) : In the following passage there are blanks, each of which has been
numbered. These numbers are printed below the passage and against each, five words are
suggested, one of which fits the blank appropriately. Find out the appropriate word in each
case.
The growth story in any developing country cannot be (191) without (192) its impact on the
poverty and employment situation. The Planning Commission has (193) that India should strive for
more inclusive growth. The number of people living below the poverty line has (194) from 36 per
cent in 1993-94 to 22.0 per cent in 2004-05. Again, the issue is to bring more and more people out

of poverty by (195) them productive employment opportunities. The Approach Paper to 11th Five
Year Plan suggests that doubling the growth of agricultural GDP to 4 per cent per annum will (196)
rural employment conditions, by raising real wages and reducing underemployment. However, even
if this is attained, an overall growth of 9 per cent will further increase income (197) between agricultural
and non-agricultural households, (198) around 10 million workers currently in agriculture find
remunerative non-agricultural employment. This (199) a major challenge not only in terms of
generating non-agricultural employment but also in (200) its required location and type.

In alternate steps the whole figure rotates by
90 and 45 ACW while one end element
changes side.
In each step one arrow is added while one
arrow gets inverted.
In each step the whole figure rotates by 90
CW. A new element appears at ACW side while
other two shift one step towards CW side.
In each step three elements shift one step
ACW while the fourth one is replaced by a
new one alternately at lower left and lower
right position.
In each step two line segments are added and
the whole figure gets inverted.
In each step elements interchange positions
in pairs while one remains static. The position
of static element shifts from right to left in
each subsequent steps.
In alternate steps the elements of smaller
square interchange diagonally while the outer
elements shift one step ACW.
In alternate steps the middle of the side
elements shift one side ACW. The upper left
goes to centre upper right upper left.

To calculate faster, instead of finding all the
students of Arts and Science stream first and
then subtracting, lets assume that in each
college Science students are more and keep
substracting the number of Arts students from
the number of Science students collegewise.

+ (40% of 25000 - 15% of 25000) + (55% of
