Mahatma Gandhi Government English Medium Schools MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers

The official sequence is: applications and class-wise vacancies were displayed on 24-03-2026; the lottery followed on 25-03-2026; selected candidates were displayed on the school notice board on 27-03-2026; and admission work began on 28-03-2026. Hence the chronological order is 2-4-1-3.

The Rajasthan Economic Review 2025-26 records 3,737 Mahatma Gandhi Government Schools operating in English medium and 6.84 lakh enrolled students. The separate figures of 977 schools and 1,010 Bal Vatikas describe the pre-primary component, so they cannot replace the network and enrolment totals.

The Department of School Education, Government of Rajasthan, is the nodal authority. The initiative converts or notifies government schools for English-medium instruction within the state public-school system; it is neither a Union cash-transfer scheme nor a higher-education programme.

Statement 1 is correct because applications and admissions are handled for a particular school and class against vacancies. Statement 2 is incorrect: where applications are more than the available seats, selection is made by lottery. The admission model therefore does not use an entrance test to rank applicants.

The initiative belongs to Rajasthan's public school system. Government schools are converted or notified as English-medium schools so that students can obtain English-medium education without dependence on fee-charging private schools. Its benefit is an education service delivered through schools, not a cash payment, scholarship or university conversion programme.
