Question

Case – Raghav: Completed MBBS in Mumbai. Six years of practice in a big city. Good local language + working Hindi. Ready for 3-year bond. M.S. with 53%. (MBBS marks not given in question.)

• A. To be selected
• B. Not to be selected
• C. Refer to Assistant Secretary
• D. Data inadequate
• E. Refer to Secretary

Hint:

If a mandatory piece of information required by the criteria is missing from the case description, the answer is almost always "Data inadequate."

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Examine the candidate's profile for missing information or specific failures that lead to "Exceptions" or "Data Inadequate."
Step 2: Identifying the Vector of Change:
- (i) MBBS 50%: His MBBS percentage is not mentioned (only M.S. is 53%). - (ii) 4 years Rural Experience: He has 6 years in a big city (Urban), failing the primary rural practice rule. - (iii) 3 years Bond: He is ready (Pass). - (iv) Local Language: He has good knowledge (Pass).
Step 3: Calculation:
Checking Exception (A) for rural practice: It requires 4 years of urban experience (He has 6) AND at least 5 years spent in rural areas at any time in his life. Although he did his schooling in a rural area, the exact number of years he spent there is not stated.
Step 4: Final Answer:
Because both the MBBS percentage and the exact duration of his rural schooling are missing, the decision cannot be made. Thus, the correct option is (d).
