Union Bank of India PO Exam Paper : Held on 7-9-2008 (English Language)

Note : Answers Given Below! (END)

Directions—(Q. 1–15) Read the 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.

Over the past few decades, many Asian nations transformed from poverty into global competitors. From 2003 to 2007, Asian economies expanded at an average annual rate of 8•1%, triple that of advanced economies. Over the same period, inflation in Asia averaged only about 3•5%. But Asia could be facing turbulent economic times. In May, the average inflation rate throughout the region reached nearly 7%, led by spikes in oil and food prices. In India, inflation jumped to an 11•6% annual rate in June, according to the latest government figures, the highest in 13 years.

Policymakers and central bankers are forced to raise interest rates and limit credit to get inflation under control. But these same measures suppress the investment and consumption that generates growth. The combination of slowing growth and soaring inflation makes economic policy-making tricky. Inflation stirs up the middle classes because it can quickly erase years of hardwon personal gains. Inflation is cruel to the poor, because families have to spend a larger share of their meagre incomes on necessities. In the Philippines, farmers, unable to afford fuel for tractors, use water buffaloes to plough their fields.

But to avoid unrest, leaders cannot blindly adopt rigid anti-inflation measures. Voters won’t hesitate to remove from office any politician who doesn’t deliver the goods. So they cannot overreact to the inflation threat and scale down economic growth in the process. Developing nations need to grow quickly to create jobs and increase incomes for their large populations. With prices soaring, doing nothing is not an option. Most central banks in Asia have started raising interest rates. The Reserve Bank of India increased its benchmark rate twice last month to a six year high of 8•5%.

The challenge is especially difficult because currently, inflation is not of domestic origin. Prices are being driven higher by a global surge in oil and food prices, which individual governments can do little to control. Of course, inflation is not just a problem in Asia. World Bank President Robert Zoellick called rising food and oil prices a man-made ‘catastrophe’ that could quickly reverse the gains made in overcoming poverty over the past seven years. For now, though, there is more talk than action on the international front, so Asian governments are on their own.

Even though inflation throughout the region is likely to continue to rise in coming months, no one is expecting an economic calamity. According to the Asian Development Bank Asian countries have large hard currency reserves and relatively healthy banks, and so are far better prepared to absorb external shocks than they were during the region’s last recession ten years ago. Asian policymakers have learned their lessons and are more alert.

Bihar brains shine in IAS exam, again

Begusarai boasts of having two sons of the soil in the elite club of top 50 successful IAS aspirants this year. While Rajiv Roshan, a native of Gaura village under Teghra subdivision, has secured 23rd rank, Shambhu Kumar of Sihma village is placed 47th.

What adds to the pride of Bihar is the fact that Rajiv did his schooling and college in his native district and, thus, breaks the myth that a Bihari has to move to a reputed institute outside the state if he aspires to score high in the toughest all-India test for the coveted job. He cracked the exam in his first attempt.

Be your real self to crack UPSC, says 48th rank holder

Academic excellence could be the key to cracking prelims and mains of UPSC examination but interview scans and checks the real person lying within. This was the observation of 48th rank holder in the all-India merit list of UPSC-2009 Shashank Sethi of Ranchi.

Sethi is currently on a brief visit to his home here after he was allocated the IAS cadre. He will join the foundation course in August end.

Sethi, who graduated from IIT, Kharagpur, had chosen two papers from humanities for the mains. "I used to study about 6-7 hours every day. At times, my study schedule varied," he said, adding that since both the subjects he had chosen were new and the topics related to day-to-day affairs, it was merely his keen interest in the subjects that even long hours of study never took a toll on him.

The standard of the paper in General English will be such as may be expected of a science graduate. The papers on geological subjects will be approximately of the M.Sc. degree standard of an Indian University and questions will generally be set to test the candidate's grasp of the fundamentals in each subject.

There will be no practical examination in any of the subjects.
(1) General English
Candidate will be required to write a short Essay in English.

Other questions will be designed to test their under-standing of English and workmanlike use of words.

Jamia gives free coaching to civil service aspirants

Jamia Millia Islamia on Friday invited applications for free coaching from civil service aspirants belonging to minority communities, Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST) and Other Backward Classes (OBCs).

The coaching classes, which started in 1984, get more than 500 applications every year from all over the country.

'Out of more than 500 applications, we select 50 candidates on the basis of the entrance test,' said an official from the Centre for Coaching and Career Planning (CCCP), Jamia Milia Islamia.

The centre has seen many of its students become IAS officers and being selected as high ranking officials in public sectors.

'While there are many students who have got good ranks in UPSC (civil services) exams, 22-year-old Pervej Alam was one of our youngest candidates to qualify,' Mohammad Tarique, coordinator of CCCP, said.

The entrance test will be held on Aug 21 at 10 a.m. The list of selected candidates will be displayed on Aug 27. The test paper will have a subjective and objective component.
