Vice-President C. P. Radhakrishnan was the chief guest at the 15th Graduation Day Ceremony of which institution?

The correct answer is 60 women and 32 men. The Vice-President gave these numbers while noting a change he has observed at convocations around the country, namely that women now take home more degrees and medals than men. At the same ceremony 5 women and 2 men received postgraduate degrees, and he called the pattern a welcome development. Option A simply reverses the two figures and is therefore wrong, since it is the women who are in the larger group. Option B is wrong because the split was not equal between the two. Option D is wrong because neither of the numbers it gives matches what was stated. Candidates should keep both sets together in memory, the undergraduate split of 60 and 32 and the postgraduate split of 5 and 2, since a question may ask for either level of the ceremony.

The correct answer is Robotic Surgery and Computer-Aided Diagnosis. The Vice-President said the graduating doctors are entering healthcare at an extraordinary time, with artificial intelligence, robotics, digital health, advanced imaging and precision medicine changing the sector, and in that setting he called the opening of these two facilities significant. He balanced the point by stressing that technology can assist a doctor but cannot replace the human side of the work, because a patient still needs someone who will listen, understand, reassure and take responsibility. Options A, C and D each list services that hospitals do provide, but none of them is named as inaugurated at this ceremony, so all three are wrong. Aspirants should link the two facilities with the wider message that scientific excellence and human compassion have to travel together in medicine.

The correct answer is twelve new AIIMS, against one earlier in New Delhi. While describing how medical education has widened over the previous twelve years, the Vice-President recalled that the country once had a single AIIMS, located in New Delhi, and said that twelve new institutions of that kind have since been set up. He used the point to argue that access to higher education lies at the core of the Viksit Bharat @ 2047 vision articulated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a goal he said can be met only when every State, district and village develops. Options A, B and D are wrong because none of those pairings matches the comparison he drew between the position earlier and the position now. For revision, tie this fact to the same speech in which he asked graduates to carry knowledge in the mind, compassion in the heart and integrity in conduct.

The correct answer is the Ram Van Gaman Path. The pillars mark the route taken by Shri Ram during his period of exile, and the stated purpose of inaugurating them is that they carry the message of the Ram Van Gaman Path and the virtues of Shri Ram to generations to come. Option A borrows the name of the Ram Setu movement, which was separately commemorated among the service initiatives presented at the ceremony but is not what the pillars mark. Options C and D name routes that were not mentioned in connection with the pillars. Aspirants should hold the number eleven, the word Stambh for pillar, and the Ram Van Gaman Path together, since a question will usually supply two of the three and ask for the missing one.

The correct answer is 11. Eleven Shri Ram Stambhs were inaugurated digitally at the programme, and these pillars commemorate the route taken by Shri Ram during his exile so that the message of the Ram Van Gaman Path reaches later generations. Options A and B, seven and nine, are lower counts and do not match what was inaugurated. Option D, fifteen, is higher than the actual number. The figure is the most quotable detail of the ceremony, and it is usually asked together with what the pillars stand for, so both halves belong in the same note. Candidates should also remember the other initiatives presented at the event, such as the Ganga Aarti at Prayagraj and the donation of artificial limbs at Ayodhya.
