Practice questions
Q1Assertion (A): In CET, a scheme name alone is not enough; the beneficiary and delivery tool must also match. Reason (R): A wrong option may keep the scheme name familiar but change the target group or benefit type, such as treating Ujjwala as health insurance or Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY as an LPG connection scheme. Choose the correct answer.
There is a clear revision rule for scheme questions: the scheme name, beneficiary and instrument must all match. They also warn that a wrong option often keeps the scheme name recognisable while changing only the target group or benefit. Ujjwala is the clean-cooking LPG connection scheme, while Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY is health protection for hospital treatment. This is exactly why the assertion is true, and the reason correctly explains it.
Q2Match the scheme with its main exam cue. List I: 1. PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana 2. SVAMITVA 3. PM Vishwakarma List II: a. Drone-based records for rural inhabited land b. Rooftop solar for households and electricity support c. Support for traditional artisans and craftspeople
PM Surya Ghar is a household rooftop-solar scheme with electricity support, so it matches rooftop solar for households. SVAMITVA is linked with drone survey, record preparation and property cards for rural inhabited land. PM Vishwakarma supports artisans and craftspeople in traditional trades. The safe CET method is to connect the scheme name with its target group and benefit; here the three policy problems are household energy, rural property records and artisan livelihood support.
Q3Statement 1: D. Gukesh is associated with chess and the World Chess Champion frame in 2024. Statement 2: Manu Bhaker is associated with shooting, while Neeraj Chopra is associated with athletics and javelin throw. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Person-based current affairs should be read by role, field and achievement. D. Gukesh is linked with chess and the World Chess Champion frame in 2024. Manu Bhaker is linked with shooting, and Neeraj Chopra is linked with athletics, specifically javelin throw. The trap in such questions is to flatten every name into a general sportsperson label. Here all three names are tied to the correct fields, so both statements stand.
Q4When was the 'Agnipath Yojana' introduced by the Government of India?
The Agnipath Yojana was introduced by the Government of India on 14 June 2022 for recruitment of youth into the armed forces under the Agniveer system. The July 2021 and August 2021 dates precede the scheme's announcement and therefore do not match the official launch context. The date 14 August 2022 is later than the introduction date and is not the launch date asked in the question. Since the CET item asks when the scheme was introduced, 14 June 2022 fits the official key.
Q5Which statement correctly describes Mukhyamantri Jal Swavlamban Abhiyan 2.0 in the Rajasthan current-affairs context?
Mukhyamantri Jal Swavlamban Abhiyan 2.0 is presented as Rajasthan's water-conservation anchor. Its CET-level frame is water-harvesting structures, groundwater recharge and village-level water security, with examples such as check dams, anicuts, farm ponds, watershed work and drought-prone villages. It should not be confused with food, health insurance or rooftop-solar schemes, because those solve different policy problems and serve different beneficiary groups.
