English Usage and Reading
Comprehension:
The questions in this section did not
pose much of a challenge. The word meaning
question was a little tricky as it contained
four words that had to be matched with
one of the five meanings given in the table.
Reading Comprehension
contained 2 short passages of 150 – 160
words. The first passage reflected author's
views on criminals and how he/she believes
that there is hardly any distinction
between those inside the jail and those
living freely outside of it. This passage
was easy to understand and was followed
by three questions. The questions were
inferential in nature but not difficult
per say.
The second passage was based on Anthropology
and how culture influences the way things
are named and classified by a group of
people. This passage was short and not
too difficult to understand. However, the
three questions that followed were a little
ambiguous.
A total of 14 questions could be attempted
in this section.
Awareness of Contemporary Social Issues:
This section
had 10 questions which tested the candidates'
general knowledge and understanding of
social issues. The questions in this
section were based on topics ranging
from Free Education of Girl Child to
Globalisation and Opening of Free Markets
in India, Reservation for Women in Panchayati
Raj and inspiration for the movie 'Chak
De' etc. These questions were on a moderate
level of difficulty.
A total of 5 questions could be attempted.

Part II of this exam was objective/ descriptive
on the basis of the programme(s) that the

Labour, Social Entrepreneurship and Development
Studies had the objective type questions
paper with an OMR sheet. Others applying
for Master of Health/Hospital Administration,
Disaster Management and Media and Cultural
Studies had the descriptive type question

exam tested the analytical ability on programme
specific areas. Each question had to be
answered within the booklet because a clear

had to be answered in an hour. This section
could seem lengthy if one chose to write
longer answers instead of being precise
and to the point.

received a question cum answer book wherein
the answers had to be written within the
provided space.
