MCQ 1. With reference to examination reforms in India, consider the following statements:

1. Fast investigation alone is sufficient to restore public confidence after examination leaks.
2. Accountability of officials and timely judicial processes are important for examination integrity.
3. Examination systems influence social mobility and employment opportunities.

Which of the statements given above are correct?

A. 1 and 2 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Answer: B

Explanation: Examination systems are critical gateways for education, employment and social mobility. Therefore, their credibility directly affects public trust. Merely conducting investigations after leaks is insufficient if trials remain delayed and accountability is weak. Institutional reforms, technological safeguards and timely punishment are equally important. The discussion on repeated examination leaks and the resulting impact on millions of students highlights that merit-based selection can survive only when recruitment and examination systems are transparent, secure and accountable. Hence statements 2 and 3 are correct, while statement 1 is incorrect.

MCQ 2. Consider the following regarding modern warfare:

1. Drones are increasingly being used for surveillance, logistics and precision strikes.
2. Future battlefields are expected to be more transparent and technology-driven.
3. Modern military strength depends only on advanced weapon platforms.

Which of the statements given above are correct?

A. 1 and 2 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3
