Q4. {IR – Issues} Consider the following statements about the United Kingdom’s Graduate Route Visa (GRV) Scheme:
The graduate route visa allows international students to work in the UK for two years after graduating from British universities.
Presently, Indians make up more than 40% of GRV holders, the highest proportion among all nationalities.
Which of the statements given above is/are not correct?
Correct
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct
The GRV was introduced by the UK government in July 2021.
It permits individuals to remain in the UK for at least two years upon successful completion of a bachelor’s, post-graduate, or other eligible courses.
For those with PhDs or other doctoral qualifications, the GRV extends to a three-year stay.
A GRV applicant must be in the UK at the time of application and hold a Short-Term Study visa or a General Student Visa.
Additionally, the applicant’s education provider must notify the UK Home Office about the course’s suc-cessful completion.
Statement 2 is correct
Currently, Indians constitute roughly 42% of GRV holders, again, the highest among all nationalities.

5. Question
Q5. {S&T – Space} Which one of the following statements is correct about the Plunging Regions?
Correct
Explanation
Recently, an international team led by Oxford University Physics researchers has provided proof of a key prediction from Einstein’s theory of gravity.
The study used X-ray data from NASA’sNuSTAR and NICER space telescopes.
The study offers the first observational proof that plunging regions around black holes exist.
These regions exert some of the strongest gravitational forces in the galaxy.
Einstein’s theory states particles near a black hole cannot follow circular orbits. Instead, matter falls straight in at the speed of light. This area is called the plunging region.
Reason: The massive force of the space-time tear’s gravity makes the particle leave its circular orbit.
Answer: (c) The region where matter falls straight into a black hole due to its immense gravitational pull is known as the plunging region. ;Difficulty Level: Easy
