PERIODIC TEST -1 (2017-18)
Class- X Subject- English
Time: 1 ½hrs M.M: 40
Section- A (Reading) [10 Marks]
1-Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
India has over 35000 institutions of higher education, a number that is one of the largest in the
world. The central and state universities together still comprise a substantial percentage of them.
However, over the next decade or two, this is likely to shift towards private institutions as more and
more Indians decide to get higher education.
India today is a rapidly changing country, which is markedly different from what it was 20 years ago
when it started on a new path to liberalisation. With a large number of companies in the other
hemisphere outsourcing jobs to India, the country has virtually become the world’s back office. This
has also spurred the demand for quality graduates in multiple disciplines.
With the number of middle class Indians swellings, the requirements of career changing to a new
breed of young Indians leading the clamour for world class education at home, India’s education
sector is also changing rapidly.
The Gross Enrolment Ratio or GER in higher education in India is still a little less than 15%. This too
varies from region to region.
With 60% of this huge population under the age of 25, the demand for higher education is set to grow.
The government is responding to these requirements by establishing more IITs and AIIMS across the
states, but given the state’s limited resources, there remains a certain limit to government’s spending
on education. In these circumstances, the rapidly increasing demands of Indians on the education
front can be met only when the private sector invest heavily in the field. And this is something it is
already doing.
According to a Mckinsey report on Indian demography, 590 million people will live in Indian cities by
2030, almost twice the US current population. There will be 91 million urban homes by 2030 in India,
as against 20 million today. A large number of rural residents would be shifting base to urban centres,
giving up their age-old family profession of farming and cultivation in favour of new avenues for their
children. These create a never- before seen demand for higher education in India. This is where
the role of private sector will and is proving to be crucial. It is just not the numbers that are increasing.
Another major shift is in the demand for quality.
