Q1Consider the following statements about the merit conditions under Padmakshi Puraskar Yojana: 1. Merely standing first is insufficient; an eligible girl must also obtain at least 60% marks. 2. For Class 12, Arts, Science, Commerce and Agriculture are counted as separate streams. Which option is correct?
Both statements reproduce explicit merit conditions. A girl must not only hold the relevant first rank but must also have at least 60% marks. In Class 12, the award does not treat the whole class as one undivided pool: Arts, Science, Commerce and Agriculture are counted separately. Thus both statements are correct.
Q2If two or more eligible girls obtain equal marks within the same award category, how is the Padmakshi award to be given?
A tie within the same category does not trigger division, cancellation, or an age-based tie-break. Each girl who is otherwise eligible and shares the same top marks receives the complete class-linked award amount as well as the certificate. Therefore, option C states the operative tie rule correctly.
Q3Match the education pool with the level at which a first-rank girl is identified: 1. Mainstream Rajasthan Board Classes 8, 10 and 12; 2. Sanskrit Education examinations; 3. Vocational Classes 10 and 12; 4. Swami Vivekanand Government Model School Class 12 Science. Which option gives the correct sequence for 1-4?
The mainstream Rajasthan Board pool is district-based for Classes 8, 10 and 12, with Class 12 considered stream-wise. The special pools use state first rank: Sanskrit Education for Class 8, Praveshika and Varishtha Upadhyaya; Vocational Education for Classes 10 and 12; and the model-school Class 12 Science pool. Hence the sequence is District-State-State-State.
Q4Which one of the following statements about the funding and governance of the Balika Shiksha Foundation, Rajasthan is incorrect?
The cost is not divided equally between the Union and Rajasthan governments. The entire expenditure is borne by the Balika Shiksha Foundation, which supports girl-education awards from interest on its corpus and reserve funds. The Foundation dates to 30 March 1995; the Chief Minister chairs its governing council and the Chief Secretary its executive council. Therefore B is incorrect.
Q5For the 2025-26 cycle of Padmakshi Puraskar Yojana, to which date was the online application deadline extended?
The official Shala Darpan news entry dated 25 March 2026 states that the last date for online applications for the 2025-26 Padmakshi Puraskar Yojana cycle was extended to 05 April 2026. The other dates relate to earlier locking, verification, or registration stages.
