Practice questions
Q1An aided hostel receives a mess allowance of ₹2,500 per student per month for 9.5 months. What is the allowance per student for that session?
The session amount is obtained by multiplying the monthly rate by the sanctioned duration: ₹2,500 × 9.5 = ₹23,750. Equivalently, 9 months contribute ₹22,500 and the remaining half-month contributes ₹1,250, giving a total of ₹23,750 per student.
Q2Consider the following statements about the Government and Aided Hostel Scheme: 1. It covers fully government-run hostels as well as aided hostels operated by recognised institutions on state grant. 2. An applicant must be studying in a school, college, institute or university. Which of the statements is/are correct?
Statement 1 is correct because the scheme covers fully government-run hostels and aided hostels run by recognised institutions with state grants. Statement 2 is also correct because eligibility requires the applicant to be studying in a school, college, institute or university. Therefore, both statements are correct.
Q3Which description best captures the core nature of the Government and Aided Hostel Scheme?
The scheme is administered by Rajasthan's Social Justice and Empowerment Department and reduces barriers to education by providing eligible disadvantaged students free hostel residence, food and daily-use facilities. Its defining benefit is residential support rather than a bank-account scholarship, loan or merit prize.
Q4Which of the following is included among the facilities provided to residents of government and aided hostels?
Residents receive free hostel accommodation and supporting facilities such as food, clothing and daily-need materials. This package helps a student continue education while living away from home. It creates neither an employment guarantee nor an entitlement to private-college fee reimbursement or family land.
Q5Consider the following statements about application and renewal under the Government and Aided Hostel Scheme: 1. A new applicant may choose up to 3 hostel preferences. 2. The application is filed online free of cost through the state single sign-on portal's hostel-admission module. 3. Renewal of an existing resident is uploaded by the hostel superintendent using the previous year's mark sheet and application. Which of the statements are correct?
All three statements accurately describe separate parts of the process. A fresh applicant can rank up to 3 hostel choices; the application is submitted online without a fee through the state portal's hostel-admission module; and the superintendent uploads an existing resident's renewal from the previous mark sheet and application.
