Quality of higher education is
emerging as a hugely profitable business
opportunity. A range of private
enterprises to fly-by-night operators,
are making a beeline for the sector. It
is neither feasible nor desirable fpr the
state to stem this tide. Rather, the
state's role should be to modulate this
enthusiasm to maximize social welfare.
The first step should be to dump the
fairy tale that education is a sacred
mission and cannot be permitted to do
business. Allow Companies to run educational
institutions as well-run businesses
that have transparent accounts
and declare dividends. Entry of private
funds into higher education is not
a case for the state to withdraw from
the sector. Rather, the state must deepen
its involvement and give it a different
shape.
46. The Government has enough resources
to run all the educational
institutions.
47. All educational institutions run by
private companies provide quality
education.
48. Entry of private companies into
education sector will benefit the
society at large.
49. Many business houses have entered
education sector to earn
visibility in the market.
50. The Government should restrict
entry of private companies into
education sector.

ENGLISH LANEGUAGE
Directions (76 - 90) : Read following
passage carefully and answer
the questions given below it. Certain
words have been printed in bold to
help you locate them while answering
some of the questions.
"We have always known that
heedless self-interest was bad morals.
We now know that it is bad economics,"
said American President Franklin
D. Roosevelt in 1937 in the midst of
the Great Depression. And the world
has learnt that enlightened self-interest
is good economics all over again
after the Great Recession of 2009.
Americans are entering a period of social
change as they are recalibrating
their sense of what it means to be a
citizen, not just through voting or volunteering
but also through commerce.
There is a new dimension to civic duty
that is growing among Americans - the
idea that they can serve not only by
spending time in communities and
classrooms but by spending more responsibly.
In short, Americans are
beginning to put their money where
their ideals are.
In a recent poll most said they
had consciously supported local or
small neighbourhood-businesses and
40 percent said that they had purchased
a product because they liked
the social or political values of the company
that produced it. People were
alarmed about 'blood diamonds' mined
in war zones and used to finance conflict
in Africa. They were also willing to
pay $2000 more for a car that gets 35
miles per gallon than for one that gives
less, though the former is more expensive
but environment friendly. Of
course consumers have done their own
doing-well-by doing-good calculation -
a more expensive car that gives; better
mileage will save them money in
the long run and makes them feel good
about protecting the environment.
Moreover since 1995, the number of
socially responsible investment (SRI)
mutual funds, which generally avoid
buying shares of companies that profit
from tobacco, oil or child labour has
grown from 55 to 260. SRI funds now
manage approximately 11 percent of
all the money invested in the US financial
markets -an estimated $ 2.7
trillion. This is evidence of a changing
mindset in a nation whose most iconic
economist Milton Friedman wrote in
1970 that a corporation's only moral
responsibility was to increase shareholder
profits.
At first the corporate stance was
defensive: companies were punished
by consumers for unethical behaviour
such as discriminatory labour practices.
The nexus of activist groups, consumers
and government regulation
could not merely tarnish a company
but put it out of business. But corporate
America quickly discerned that
social responsibility attracts investment
capital as well as customer loyalty,
creating a virtuous circle. Some
companies quickly embraced the new
ethos that consumers boycotted products
they considered unethical and
others purchase products in part because
their manufacturers were responsible.
With global warming on the
minds of many consumers lots of companies
are racing to 'outgrecn' each
other. The most progressive companies
are talking about a triple bottom
line-profit, planet and people - that
focuses on how to run a business while
trying to improve environmental and
worker conditions.
This is a time when the only thing
that has sunk lower than the American
public's opinion of Congress is its
opinion of business. One burning question
is how many of these Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives
are just shrewd marketing to give companies
a halo effect? After all only 8
per cent of the large American corporations
go through the trouble of verifying
their CSR reports, which many
consumers don't bother to read. And
while social responsibility is one way
for companies to get back their reputations
consumers too need to make
ethical choices.
76. Which of the following represents
the change/s that has/ have occurred

Quality of higher education is
emerging as a hugely profitable business
opportunity. A range of private
enterprises to fly-by-night operators,
are making a beeline for the sector. It
is neither feasible nor desirable fpr the
state to stem this tide. Rather, the
state's role should be to modulate this
enthusiasm to maximize social welfare.
The first step should be to dump the
fairy tale that education is a sacred
mission and cannot be permitted to do
business. Allow Companies to run educational
institutions as well-run businesses
that have transparent accounts
and declare dividends. Entry of private
funds into higher education is not
a case for the state to withdraw from
the sector. Rather, the state must deepen
its involvement and give it a different
shape.
46. The Government has enough resources
to run all the educational
institutions.
47. All educational institutions run by
private companies provide quality
education.
48. Entry of private companies into
education sector will benefit the
society at large.
49. Many business houses have entered
education sector to earn
visibility in the market.
50. The Government should restrict
entry of private companies into
education sector.

ENGLISH LANEGUAGE
Directions (76 - 90) : Read following
passage carefully and answer
the questions given below it. Certain
words have been printed in bold to
help you locate them while answering
some of the questions.
"We have always known that
heedless self-interest was bad morals.
We now know that it is bad economics,"
said American President Franklin
D. Roosevelt in 1937 in the midst of
the Great Depression. And the world
has learnt that enlightened self-interest
is good economics all over again
after the Great Recession of 2009.
Americans are entering a period of social
change as they are recalibrating
their sense of what it means to be a
citizen, not just through voting or volunteering
but also through commerce.
There is a new dimension to civic duty
that is growing among Americans - the
idea that they can serve not only by
spending time in communities and
classrooms but by spending more responsibly.
In short, Americans are
beginning to put their money where
their ideals are.
In a recent poll most said they
had consciously supported local or
small neighbourhood-businesses and
40 percent said that they had purchased
a product because they liked
the social or political values of the company
that produced it. People were
alarmed about 'blood diamonds' mined
in war zones and used to finance conflict
in Africa. They were also willing to
pay $2000 more for a car that gets 35
miles per gallon than for one that gives
less, though the former is more expensive
but environment friendly. Of
course consumers have done their own
doing-well-by doing-good calculation -
a more expensive car that gives; better
mileage will save them money in
the long run and makes them feel good
about protecting the environment.
Moreover since 1995, the number of
socially responsible investment (SRI)
mutual funds, which generally avoid
buying shares of companies that profit
from tobacco, oil or child labour has
grown from 55 to 260. SRI funds now
manage approximately 11 percent of
all the money invested in the US financial
markets -an estimated $ 2.7
trillion. This is evidence of a changing
mindset in a nation whose most iconic
economist Milton Friedman wrote in
1970 that a corporation's only moral
responsibility was to increase shareholder
profits.
At first the corporate stance was
defensive: companies were punished
by consumers for unethical behaviour
such as discriminatory labour practices.
The nexus of activist groups, consumers
and government regulation
could not merely tarnish a company
but put it out of business. But corporate
America quickly discerned that
social responsibility attracts investment
capital as well as customer loyalty,
creating a virtuous circle. Some
companies quickly embraced the new
ethos that consumers boycotted products
they considered unethical and
others purchase products in part because
their manufacturers were responsible.
With global warming on the
minds of many consumers lots of companies
are racing to 'outgrecn' each
other. The most progressive companies
are talking about a triple bottom
line-profit, planet and people - that

trying to improve environmental and
worker conditions.
This is a time when the only thing
that has sunk lower than the American
public's opinion of Congress is its
opinion of business. One burning question
is how many of these Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives
are just shrewd marketing to give companies
a halo effect? After all only 8
per cent of the large American corporations
go through the trouble of verifying
their CSR reports, which many
consumers don't bother to read. And
while social responsibility is one way
for companies to get back their reputations
consumers too need to make
ethical choices.

Directions for Questions 11-15:
Readthe passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.
Microprocessor is an electronic computer Central Processing Unit (CPU) made from miniaturized transistors and other circuit elements on a single semiconductor Integrated Circuit (IC). Before the advent of microprocessors, electronic CPUs were made from individual small-scale Integrated Circuits
containing the equivalent of only a few transistors. By integrating the processor onto one or a very few large-scale Integrated Circuit packages (containing the equivalent of thousands or millions of discrete transistors), the cost of processor power was greatly reduced. The evolution of microprocessors has been known to follow
A computer-on-a-chip is a variation of a microprocessor, which combines the microprocessor core (CPU), some memory, and I/O (input/output) lines, all on one chip. The proper meaning of microcomputer is a computer using a (number of) microprocessor(s) as its CPU(s), while the concept of the patent is somewhat more similar to a micro controller.
11) Which of the following descriptions would NOT fit a microprocessor?
A) Electronic computer
B) Central Processing Unit
C) Memory disk
D) A single integrated chip circuit.
12) Select the TRUE statement from the following.
A) 11icroprocessors and computers on a chip are variations of each other.
B) Integration of processing power on chips has made processing power cheaper.

Directions for Questions 16-20:
Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.
Dynamic Link Libraries
Windows provides several files called dynamic link libraries (DLLs) that contain collections of software code that perform common functions such as opening or saving a file. When Windows application wants to use one of those functions or routines, the app sends a message to Windows with the names of the DLL file and the function. This procedure is known as calling a function. One of the most frequently used DLLs is Windows COMMDLG.DLL, which includes among others, the functions to display File Open, File Save, Search, and Print dialog boxes. The application also sends any information the DLL function will need to complete the operation. For example, a program calling the Open File function in COMMDLG.DLL would pass along a file spec, such as *. * or *.DOC, to be displayed in the dialog box's Filename text box. The application also passes along a specification for the type of information it expects the DLL to return to the application when the DLL's work is done. The application, for example, may expect return information in the form of integers, true/false values, or text. Windows passes the responsibility for program execution to the DLL, along with the parameters and the return information the DLL will need. The specific DLL is loaded into memory, and then executed by the processor. At this point the DLL, rather than the application, runs things. The DLL performs all the operations necessary to communicate with Windows and, through Windows, with the PC's hardware. After the DLL function is complete, the DLL puts the return information into
memory, where it can be found by the application, and instructs Windows to remove the DLL routine from memory. The application inspects the return information, which usually tells whether the DLL function was able to execute correctly. If the operation was a success, the application continues from where it left off before issuing the function call. If the operation failed, the application displays an error message.
16) By using DLLs, Windows:
A) Saves processing time
B) Multitasks
C) Shares program code
D) Communicates with PCs hardware
17) To use any routine of a DLL, Windows:
A) Searches and copies it in the application code and executes it
B) Loads the DLL file and searches and executes the routine
C) Loads just the required routine in memory and executes it
D) Searches the location of the routine and instructs the application to execute it
18) Which information does an application need to passto Windows to use a DLL routine?
A) Just the name of the routine
B) Just the name of the DLL, which finds in turn the routine to be executed in return
C) Both the name of the routine as well as DLL and any parameters
D) Name of the DLL, routine, any parameters and type of information to be returned
19) According to the passage, while the DLL routine is executing, the calling application:
A) Waits for the routine to execute
B) Continues with other tasks
C) Helps the DLL routine perform by communicating with Windows and through Windows with the PC's hardware
D) Passes all responsibility of program execution to the DLL and is removed from memory
20) The DLL function after execution returns:
A) The parameters and information into memory, where it can be inspected by the calling application
B) Information into memory, where it can be inspected by the calling application
C) To the calling application the information required by it so that it can inspect it
D) The information required into memory so that DLL can inspect whether the function operation was a success
