UDISE 2025-26 MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers

The correct answer is D: the Assertion is false but the Reason is true. Assertion (A) is false. The UDISE 2025-26 report puts the share of government schools at 47.56% of total enrolment, not a majority. The figure of 51.65% is the share of PRIVATE schools, so it is private schools — not government schools — that account for the majority of enrolled students in Rajasthan. Reason (R) is true. The same report records 74.5 lakh students in government schools and 83.8 lakh students in private schools; these absolute numbers themselves show that private-school enrolment exceeds government-school enrolment, which is exactly what makes the Assertion false. Options A and B are wrong because they both require the Assertion to be true, and option C is wrong because the Reason is not false — its enrolment figures are exactly as reported.

Both statements are correct, so the answer is C. Statement 1 is correct: the UDISE 2025-26 report finds that out of every 100 children enrolling in Class 1 in Rajasthan, only 51.8 reach Class 12, which means 48.2% leave school before completing Class 12. Statement 2 is correct: total school enrolment in the state fell from 1.67 crore in 2023-24 to 1.63 crore in 2024-25 and further to 1.59 crore in 2025-26 — a decline of about 8.4 lakh students in two years. Options A and B are wrong because each rejects one of the two correct statements, and option D is wrong because neither statement is false.
