  •  Q. No. 3 is short notes to be written only in 20 words each.

  •  Total Marks 10.

  •  Most of the questions are based on personalities from India Culture.

  •  Previously questions were also asked from contemporary sports personalities, persons in news etc. But recent trend concentrates more on historical personalities, especially contributors to Indian Culture.

  •  So while studying Indian culture, one should keep reminding himself that NO broad questions are asked on Indian Culture. So one needs to keep oneself abreast of rather superficial info on all the personalities relating to culture.

  •  Q no. 3 is however not confined to questions on culture alone as questions may also be asked on persons in history, persons/places in news etc.
