Q8632. Find the odd one out among the following based on the type of higher education institution in Rajasthan.
Explanation
Among the institutions listed, the University of Rajasthan in Jaipur is a state-run public university. In contrast, BITS Pilani, Banasthali Vidyapith, and Jain Vishva Bharati Institute are categorized as deemed-to-be universities or private institutions. This makes Rajasthan University the odd one out based on its administrative structure and funding as a primary public academic body established by the state government.

Q8635. Which of the following statements regarding the movement of the Bay of Bengal monsoon branch towards Rajasthan is incorrect?
Explanation
The Bay of Bengal branch enters Rajasthan from the east and south-east, faces the eastern slopes of the Aravallis and gives rain to the Hadoti plateau and the eastern plains. Its moisture decreases, not increases, as it moves towards the west, so A is incorrect.
Q8636. Which of the following functions is an exception and does NOT fall under the purview of the Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education (RBSE)?
Explanation
The Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education manages secondary level academic standards, prescribes curricula, and conducts board exams and teacher eligibility tests. However, the appointment of Vice-Chancellors for state technical universities falls outside its jurisdiction, as such appointments are typically handled by the Governor in consultation with the state government. Thus, administrative university leadership is an exception to the board’s roles.
Q8637. Match List I (Isohyet Line) with List II (Climatic Boundary/Feature in Rajasthan) and select the correct answer using the options below.
| Isohyet Line | Climatic Boundary/Feature |
|---|---|
| A. 10 cm Isohyet | i. Roughly divides the state into two equal halves along the Aravallis. |
| B. 25 cm Isohyet | ii. Generally marks the western limit of the semi-arid steppe region. |
| C. 40 cm Isohyet | iii. Divides the arid desert into purely arid and semi-arid transitional zones. |
| D. 50 cm Isohyet | iv. Represents extreme western parts of Jaisalmer border region. |
Explanation
The 10 cm isohyet represents the extreme western border, while the 25 cm line divides the arid desert into purely arid and semi-arid zones. The 40 cm isohyet marks the western limit of the steppe region, and the 50 cm line roughly bisects the state along the Aravallis. These lines are essential for mapping the rainfall gradients and ecological zones across Rajasthan.

I. The State Literacy Mission Authority (SLMA) oversees the implementation of literacy programmes.
II. The Nav Bharat Saksharta Karyakram aims to provide foundational literacy and numeracy as well as critical life skills.
III. Adult literacy programmes target individuals starting from the age of 10 years.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
I. The State Literacy Mission Authority (SLMA) oversees the implementation of literacy programmes.
II. The Nav Bharat Saksharta Karyakram aims to provide foundational literacy and numeracy as well as critical life skills.
III. Adult literacy programmes target individuals starting from the age of 10 years.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Explanation
The State Literacy Mission Authority is responsible for implementing adult education programs in Rajasthan. The Nav Bharat Saksharta Karyakram focuses on providing foundational literacy, numeracy, and life skills to non-literate adults. However, these programs generally target individuals aged fifteen years and above, not ten. Therefore, only the first and second statements accurately describe the current adult education framework in the state.
Q8639. Select the correct logical sequence representing the establishment and operationalization of a statutory body like the Rajasthan State Women Commission:
Explanation
The establishment of the Rajasthan State Women Commission followed a standard legislative process. It began with the drafting of the bill, which was then debated and passed by the State Legislative Assembly. After receiving the Governor’s assent, the Act was published in the official gazette. Finally, using the powers granted by the Act, the state government formally constituted the commission.
Q8640. The influence of Western Disturbances on Rajasthan’s climate is seen in all of the following ways, EXCEPT:
Explanation
Western Disturbances are primarily winter phenomena that bring light rainfall to northern India between December and February.

Furthermore, June weather in the Thar Desert is dominated by heatwaves and the arrival of the monsoon rather than these Mediterranean-origin disturbances.Answer key for these questions
