Re: HP CMAT Previous Question Papers
HP CMAT or Himachal Pradesh Combined Management Aptitude Test is an common entrance test which is conducted by the Himachal Pradesh University for the admissions to the management programmes , as you are looking for its paper so here I am providing on your demand : DIRECTIONS for questions 1 to 4: Read the passages below and answer the questions that follow. ‘Corporate farming’ refers to direct ownership or leasing of land by business organizations in order to produce crops for their captive processing requirements or for the free market. When it is done for captive purposes, it is referred to as ‘captive farming’ as well, though the two terms are used interchangeably. As this kind of arrangement is not permitted at present, agri-business firms are increasingly using contract farming as an alternative. Since agriculture is basically a state subject, many state governments in India have attempted the liberalization of land laws, especially land ceiling laws. Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra have recently allowed business farms to buy and operate large land-holdings for R&D and export-oriented production business. Punjab is planning to increase the ceiling on land-holdings to encourage large-scale farming as a viable proposition in the state. It is argued that corporate farming leads to better allocative efficiency, induces higher private investment in agriculture, and results in higher output, higher income and higher exports. In fact, it is argued that small and marginal farmers should get out of farming if they are not able to move onto more export-oriented and commercial crops like fruits and vegetables, as it will not be viable to grow food crops on small holdings. Export-oriented agriculture requires large investments that only big agribusiness enterprises can make. Especially in sectors like horticulture, floriculture and pisciculture, the quality of inputs like seeds is very important, and that can be assured only through large investments in land and technology. 1. The style of the passage is: a] narrative. b] analytical. c] argumentative. d] abstract. e] nostalgic. 2. Which of the following benefits are not expected as a result of corporate farming? a] Larger investments in export-oriented agriculture will be possible. b] Output will increase. c] Land-holding will be more equitable. d] The country’s agri-exports may increase. e] None of the above 3. If corporate farming were assumed to be a progressive step, then, based on this passage, which of the following state governments could be deemed to be the most progressive? a] Punjab b] Maharashtra c] Gujarat d] Karnataka e] Madhya Pradesh 4. Success in export-oriented agriculture requires: a] large investments. b] good quality seeds. c] large land-holdings. d] modern technology. e] all of these.
