SACHIN_SHARMA,In ques 19 test 19
Freedom to enter into academic collaborations with other institutions inside the country is not a specific benefit w.r.t Institute of Eminence scheme since it's in general available to all UGC recognised institutions.
Rather IoE tag gives freedom to collaborate with international institutions.
Plz rectify.
"toenter into academic collaboration with top 500 in the world ranking Institutions without permission of UGC;"
https://pib.gov.in/newsite/printrelease.aspx?relid=180478
Clearly given in this article and there's as such no specific mention of "other institutions within the country"
Thanks and cheers.
Statement 1 automatically implies statement 2. Once an institution has an administrative and academic autonomy it can enter into collaboration with any other institution as well. Anyways, for more elaboration plz refer to the link https://pib.gov.in/newsite/PrintRelease.aspx?relid=193016. Please read point 7 under the heading of BENEFIT OF INSTITUTION OF EMINENCE.
_Rana_,TH14@ranahere999 see. I think, in Bharat Ratna award, there is no exception, which says, it can be confreed to more that 3 people in certain circumstances.Meaning, if at all it had been conferred to more that 3 ppl at a time it can be considered as an exception.But the rule says, it can be conferred to not more than 3 people.Whereas, Sardar patel award, the rule itself makes an exception, that it can be conferred in certain cases (though rare and exceptional) posthumously.So, the third statement of q.41 cannot be ruled out completely according to my understanding.

Ques 18, Does E-NAM helps boost agriculture credit ?
Agriculture credit is basically money that is required for the overall growth of agriculture and personnel attached to it. It can be of two types i.e. Institutional (banks etc) or non-istitutional (Moneylenders or relatives etc.). e-NAM gives better pricing to farmers means farmers get surplus money which can be invested in Agricultural activities. Hence e-NAM has potential to boost agricultural credit.
@Apurva321 im not sure about q.41.Though ive never read that coal gassification plants have increased in India.I'd like to know whether or not that statement is incorrect, and how.I couldn't find any relevant information pertaining to that.If you have, kindly share.
As per the answer key, only the 1st statement is right.
In Q.39
Option 1.: Satyashodhak samaj did talk about giving sense of identity to the depressed classes against "brahmins", and wanted complete abolishon of caste system.
Going by this, Satyashodhak samaj call for maratha homeland free of brahminical domination.
So option should be right
Option 2: Self Respect movement aimed at rejection of "brahminical religion", and not aryans.
Now, whether brahmins are aryans are not, is a seperate debate. How can we read brahmins=aryans?!
This option is a wrong one.
@Thinker .
Kindly clarify.

@Thinker .
Kindly clarify.
First of all Satyashodhak samajnever called forMaratha Homeland free of Brahminical domination. It was a reformist organization that called for theupliftment of downtrodden by providing them political and educational access.
Brahminical religion is another name given to Aryans or Vedic religion due to the overwhelming influence of Brahminical Varna over this religion. You should remember the Aryan or Vedic religion is a hierarchical one with Brahmins as the topmost Varna.

so going by this. Q38, 3rd option says " its effect was limited to Bengal" , which should be the right option.
Bbut answer given is 1 &2 only are right.
TKindly clarify
Sometimes data can be distorted. Brahmo Samaj's influence was limited to Bengal during the early years only. However, later on in Maharashtra Prarthana samaj was by Atmaram Panduran under influence of Brahmo Samaj. Similarly, Rajamuhundary Social Reform Association and Veda Samaj in Madras province were influenced by Brahmo Samaj. So as such the influence of Brahmo Samaj was not limited to Bengal.
Just_relentless,TheMiddlePath@Thinker - Thankyou sir.
Thinker,How is statement 1 correct in Question no 48 of test no21 since constitution mentioned English to be "used for allofficial purposefor a period of 15 years".
Being used for official purpose does not make it as an "official language of union".
As the statement says that "continuation of English as an official language of union" implies a different meaning from "used for all the official purposes of the Union".
Moreover we cannot distinguish in the exam that whether the question is being asked w.r.t Historical perspective (simple factual info)or political understanding( difference b/w being an official language or being used as language for official specified purpose).
So statement 1 cannot be considered as correct.. plz clarify.
Statement 2 is anyway wrong. It should've been Official languages act 1963.

343. Official language of the Union
Test 022 Q 24
In this question the second statement is ,"Surya is shown riding a chariot driven bytwo horses."
Since the chariot of Surya is driven by7 horseswith each having their own significancethis statement become incorrect.
Due to this it's answer should be option (b) instead of (d). Please clarify.
SACHIN_SHARMA,Thinker,
Test 22 , Q. 3
Statement no 1 states that 'Vishnu's image as Vaikuntha Chaturmurti if found in Kandariya Mahadev Temple' and the answer key states this to be correct.
However, Kandariya Mahadev Temple is a Shiva temple and this image of Vishnu is found in Lakshmana Temple of Khajuraho.
I think the answer should be 2 Only (B) instead of Both 1 and 2 (C)
