Sourya committee had proposed the establishment of Sourya Institutes of Technology (SITs) in line with Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) to cater to the technological and industrial needs of a developing country. Which of the following can be logically inferred from the above sentence? Based on the proposal, (i) In the initial years, SIT students will get degrees from IIT. (ii) SITs will have a distinct national objective. (iii) SIT like institutions can only be established in consultation with IIT. (iv) SITs will serve technological needs of a developing country. Correct Answer (ii) and (iv) only.

Let us examine the options one by one.

  1. No inference can be drawn about the degrees of the students because no such information has been provided in the passage.
  2. Since the institutes are being set up to cater to the technological development needs, it can be inferred they have a national objective. Thus this options follows
  3. Though SITs re being established in collaboration with IITs it is not always true that they cannot be set up independently. Thus this option does not hold.
  4. The passage states that the SITs are being set up keeping in mind the technological developments. Thus this inference definitely follows.

Hence options 2 and 4 are logical inferences.
