In so called toughest paper, where it was like a storm, CCA stayed as an anchor and as a pole star. Other than these questions, many more questions have come from CCA classes and from CCA practice questions and CCA full length test papers. Just selected few questions and shown in this video.
I will post the Expected cutoff video as soon as possible.

Answer: (B)
Nirbhay Raho is a grassroots women’s safety and gender-responsive governance initiative launched on March 11, 2026, by the Ministry of Panchayati Raj using the Nirbhaya Fund.
It operates in collaboration with the Ministry of Women and Child Development and the National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bengaluru.
The initiative focuses heavily on capacity building, gender sensitivity, and increasing legal literacy among local rural administrations.
Its core pillars include Nirbhay Netri for educating elected women representatives, Nirbhay Chetna for sensitizing male elected leaders, and Nirbhay Drishti for installing CCTVs in rural spots.
Ultimately, the program aims to systematically scale up using a cascading training model to reach roughly 14.5 lakh women and 17.5 lakh male Panchayat representatives nationwide.
Statement 1 is correct: The text explicitly states that the "Nirbhay Raho" initiative is being implemented by the Ministry of Panchayati Raj.
Statement 2 is incorrect: The initiative is not an independent, newly funded central scheme; rather, it is explicitly being implemented through the Nirbhaya Fund in collaboration with the Ministry of Women and Child Development.
Statement 3 is correct: One of the three major interventions under this initiative is Nirbhay Netri, which is explicitly focused on the capacity building and legal awareness of Elected Women Representatives.
Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.

Consider the following observations regarding the Great Stupa at Sanchi:
1. Gateways (toranas) was financed through non-royal, commercial donations by local artisan guilds.
2. Gateways strictly depict canonical Buddhist themes from the Jataka tales, completely excluding secular depictions or war scenes.
3. The famous Shalabhanjika motif depicted on the gateway brackets represents a continuous evolution of pre-Buddhist popular folklore assimilated into Buddhist art.

Answer: (B)
Statement 1 is correct: Inscriptions on the stone railings show that part of the ornate gateways (toranas) was financed through non-royal, commercial donations. A prime example carved on the southern gateway reveals that the intricate work was paid for and executed by the Guild of Ivory Carvers of Vidisha, showcasing the vital role of public and mercantile patronage in early Buddhist art.
Statement 2 is Incorrect: The narrative panels carved on the gateways are not strictly canonical or limited to religious motifs. While they extensively depict scenes from the Jataka tales and the life of the Buddha, they also prominently feature secular depictions of daily life, complex animal reliefs, and even intense, graphic historic battle descriptions—such as the Siege of Kushinagar over the distribution of the Buddha’s relics.
Statement 3 is correct: The famous Shalabhanjika motif (a woman holding onto a tree bracket, causing it to bloom) represents a continuous evolution of pre-Buddhist popular folklore and indigenous fertility symbols that were seamlessly assimilated into Buddhist architectural art to make the monuments culturally resonant for the common public.

With reference to the recently developed 'Cleavable Light-Erased Antibody Reporter (CLEAR)' technology, consider the following statements:
1. It allows an unprecedented number of proteins to be visualized within a single biological sample using only a single fluorescent marker.
2. The platform requires harsh thermal and chemical stripping agents to clear old fluorescent signals before beginning a new imaging cycle.
3. Because of its gentle, light-driven erasing mechanism, the platform is fully compatible with live-cell imaging.

Answer: (C)
Statement 1 is correct: The Cleavable Light-Erased Antibody Reporter (CLEAR) technology is a highly multiplexed spatial protein imaging platform that allows a vast number of proteins to be visualized and mapped within the same cells or tissue sections by sequentially using just a single fluorescent marker (fluorophore).
Statement 2 is incorrect: CLEAR does not rely on harsh thermal or chemical stripping agents to remove fluorescent signals. Instead, it utilizes a gentle, non-destructive pulse of light to cleanly cleave a light-sensitive chemical linker, erasing the old signal without degrading the underlying tissue structure.
Statement 3 is correct: Because it avoids the aggressive and toxic chemical stripping methods utilized by older technologies, CLEAR's mild, light-driven erasing mechanism preserves delicate biological structures and is fully compatible with live-cell imaging.
Therefore, Option C is the correct answer.
