Directions (Q. 81-85): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.These are testing time for students, particularly those aspiring for admissions into the IITs. The

HRD ministry’s proposal to make students sit for a common entrance test for all IITs, NITs and IIITs has given rise to a national controversy. Besides undermining, the autonomy of individual institutions to conduct their own entrance exams and ensuring standards of admission, the move will also add to the pressure on students who already have to face a slew of stringent tests before they can gain entry into one of these highly regarded institutions.

It’s not just engineering or medical or business administration colleges that are tough to get into. Almost all Indian colleges worth their names have test results of 90% and above as the qualifying requirement for admission.

Directions (Q. 86-90): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words are printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.

The RBI’s decision to hold interest rates steady in its midterm policy review has disappointed both industry and markets. A cut in rates, they argue, would boost investments and growth. But the RBI is right in taking a contrary view. Despite the significant dip in growth, inflation levels remain high with retail prices, in particular, ticking up. This points to serious supply bottle necks and the government’s inability to curtail spending. So far the government has been unable to follow up on cuts in interest rates by the RBI in April and Eurozone problems have only worsened the global scenario. Monetary policy can work only if the government takes tough decisions to keep its side of the bargain. Otherwise the ignominies will continue to pour in from rating agencies like Standard and Poor’s and Fitch, which can only mean more trouble in the days ahead as investment freezes up.
