UPSC replies
Copy of the Question paper is enclosed. However, Answer Keys can be shared after the completion of recruitment process.
Wrong answer options for Jim Yong Kim questions
Q4. In the question #27 of Booklet “D” of APFC-2012 exam, all answer options are incorrect. Because according to the official websites of the respective organizations, the correct combination is as following

- Kamlesh Sharma is the Secretary General of Common Wealth.(B-2)
- Christine Lagarde is the MD of IMF (C-3)

But no such answercode is provided in the given question. Therefore all the answers are incorrect. So, How will UPSC evaluate the answers of candidates, for this question?
UPSC replies: No information is available, on record, at present for disclosure.
Decision regarding Wrong answer in “D” booklet
Q5. Please provide a copy of the decision taken by the Commission, if any, on the answer key of question 27 of set “D” of the exam referred above.

Hey Mrunal awesome work
Actually i want to file a RTI in Coal India Limited regarding their recruitment process. On the website only details of APIO, and other authorities are given. can you please tell me whether i need a separate form for that? If yes do you have any idea where to get it. And will you be kind enough to explain the whole process to me.And last question does applicant at any stage(further higher appeal case) need to make rounds of their offices?
Thanks in advance
u r alwas very helpful Mrnal.. God Bless u.

thanks a lot mrunalji. u r wonderful
So total applications for APFC is around 3.5 lakhs out of which only 50% might have appeared.. so 1.75 lakh candidates for 253 posts, which means 700 for one post… Is this assumption correct? please give some light on this aspect..
women is not a category to count the numbers .
Dear Mrunal,
I do not understand that whether the numbers of applicants that you have given were applied or were present in the examination hall. Kindly reply.
