  1. Dear Admin,
    Please note that in the above mentioned question No. 9 , the answer has been wrongly provided. The answer should be Option B. Vikas Swarup who has been recently decalared to be the High Commissioner of India to Canada. And Mr. Gopal Baglay is supposed to be the next MEA Spokesperson. Kindly make the nexessary changes as many students refer this website for their academic requirements and they depend on the website for correct source of information. Hope you would make the changes asap.
    Thanks and Regards
