ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Directions (Qs. 1 10): Read the following passage
carefully and answer the given questions. Certain
words/phrases are given in bold to help you to locate them
while answering some of the questions.
We should never confuse education with training or the
tools the educators use. Education is no more a computer
or an online class than it is a chalkboard those are simply
tools. Additionally, precious few new and relevant findings
have been added to our insights into the learning process;
much of what many proclaim to be insightful turns out to
be faddish and misguided. What we need for learning to
occur are well-prepared and motivated teachers, students
who are willing and able to learn, and a social system that
values educational attainment. Many might take exception
to these assertions, raising a host of ancillary social,
economic, nutritional, and sociological issues. However,
decades of data from failed public experiments aimed at
mitigating these problems argue to the contrary.
What are we to do? Create a wave of educational
entrepreneurship? Despite all of the hype and media
attention, no one currently knows the best way forward.
We must incentivize educationalists, technologists, and
classroom teachers/professors to experiment and
innovate. Such partnerships should freely explore
alternatives as we seek to define the blended, face-to-face,
and online classrooms of the future. Some approaches will
fail, but that is part of the change process

Directions (Qs. 16 - 25): In the following passage there
are blanks each of which has been numbered. These
numbers are printed below the pas-sage and against each,
five words/phrases are suggested, one of which fits the
blank appropriately. Find out the appropriate word in

Mobile banking (M banking) involves the use of a mobile
phone or any other mobile device to (16) financial
transaction linked to a client's account. M banking is new
in most countries and most mobile payment models even
in developed countries, to date operate on a (17) scale. A
mobile net-work offers a (18) available technology
platform onto which other services can be provided at
low cost with effective results. For example, M banking
services which use (19) such as SMS can be carried at a
cost of less than one US cent per message. The low cost of
using existing infrastructure makes such services more
(20) to use by customers with lower purchasing power
and opens up access to services which did not reach them
earlier due to (21) cost of service delivery. Al-though M
banking is one aspect in the wider (22) of e-banking
there are reasons to single it out for focus-especially
because there are reasons to single it out for focusespecially because there are a lot more people with
mobile, phones than bank accounts in India.
M banking could provide a (23) solution to bring more
"unbanked" people to the financial mainstream. Without
traditional credit, individuals are (24) to exploitation by
abusive lenders offering very high interest rates on short
term loans also of considerable importance are public
safety implications for the unbanked-they are often
victims of crime because many operate on a cash only
basis and end up carrying significant amounts of cash on
their (25) or store cash in their homes.
