NIFT UG 2020 Question Paper with solutions

In each of these questions, a passage is followed by several inferences. You have to examine each inference separately in the context of the passage and secede upon its degree of truth or falsity.  In India, the proportion of women in paid work is among the lowest in the world, at just over 23% - a figure which contrasts sharply with the corresponding rate of over 78% for men. Opportunities for women to enter employment in the country are limited by a range of factors. These include a dominant tradition of female domestic responsibility, and a prevailing social patriarchy.
 Deeply entrenched cultural expectations mean that women are more likely to stay at home. And when they do work, it is mainly on an informal basis, without the luxury of secured wages and contracts. Against this backdrop, the idea of female entrepreneurship in India faces major challenges. Setting up a business can require significant efforts outside of normal work times, and can lead to women being perceived as irresponsible if they dedicate time to entrepreneurial activities.
 But the scenario is still changing. Improved access to social media, education, and social enterprises are all contributing to change.
 These are giving momentum to the aspirations of women entrepreneurs in India. Their stories will hopefully inspire women entrepreneurs from around the world, while encouraging policy makers to create avenues that support their aspirations.
