RAS question
IIIT Kota focuses on:
Correct answer: (C) Information Technology education.
IIIT Kota focuses on information technology education through IT-related programmes such as Computer Science and Engineering and Artificial Intelligence and Data Engineering.
Explanation
IIIT Kota is the Indian Institute of Information Technology at Kota, so the focus is information technology education rather than a conventional sector such as mining, textiles, or agriculture. IIIT Kota's undergraduate-program page is a curriculum page and lists undergraduate areas including Computer Science and Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, and Artificial Intelligence and Data Engineering. IIIT Kota provides IT and related education as part of India's IIIT network. In an RAS economy question, the key is to identify the institution by its functional role in Rajasthan's higher-education and skill ecosystem: IIIT Kota is linked to specialised technical education, not to primary production or traditional industry.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Mining is a resource and industrial-sector activity, while IIIT Kota's curriculum page lists technical academic programmes, not mining education or mining activity.
- (B) Textile is not supported because IIIT Kota's curriculum page presents areas such as Computer Science and Engineering and Artificial Intelligence and Data Engineering, not textile studies.
- (D) Agriculture is wrong because IIIT Kota's curriculum page points to IT and related technical education, not agricultural education or farm-sector work.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan's institutional economy: which specialised institutions support education, skills, and sectoral development in the state. RAS repeats such facts because schemes, institutes, and sector-specific infrastructure are often asked as direct economy markers.
