IIFT ka paper ka time kya hota ha generally ? i mean start time
Last year, the 100th anniversary of E=mc2 inspired an outburst of symposiums, This year,
the same treatment is being given to another genius, Wolfgang Amadeus, Mozart, born on
January 27, 250 years ago.
Einstein, who learned to play the violin as a child and often turned to music in difficult times, was especially fond of the sonatas by Mozart. There is more to the dovetailing of these anniversaries than one might think. Einstein once said that while Beethoven created his music, Mozart's "was so pure that it seemed to have been ever-present in the universe, waiting to be discovered by the master." Einstein believed much the same of physics, which beyond observations and theory lay the music of the spheres - which, he wrote, revealed a "pre-established harmony" exhibiting stunning symmetries. The laws of nature, such as those of relativity theory, were waiting to be plucked out of the cosmos by someone with a sympathetic ear.
Thus it was less laborious calculation, but "pure thought" to which Einstein attributed his theories. Einstein was fascinated by Mozart and sensed an affinity between their creative processes, as well as their histories. As a boy Einstein did poorly in school. Music was an outlet for his emotions. At 5, he began violin lessons but soon found the drills so trying that he threw a chair at his teacher, who ran out of the house in tears. At 13, he discovered Mozart's sonatas.
The result was an almost mystical connection, said Hans Byland, a friend of Einstein's from high school. "When his violin began to sing," Mr. Byland told the biographer Carl Seelig, "the walls of the room seemed to recede - for the first time, Mozart in all his purity appeared before me, bathed in Hellenic beauty with its pure lines, roguishly playful, mightily sublime."
From 1902 to 1909, Einstein was working six days a week at a Swiss patent office and doing physics research - his "mischief" - in his spare time. But he was also nourished by music, particularly Mozart. It was at the core of his creative life. And just as Mozart's antics shocked his contemporaries, Einstein pursued a notably Bohemian life in his youth. His studied indifference to dress and mane of dark hair, along with his love of music and philosophy, made him seem more poet than scientist.
He played the violin with passion and often performed at musical evenings. He enchanted audiences, particularly women, one of whom gushed that “he had the kind of male beauty that could cause havoc”. He also empathized with Mozart's ability to continue to compose magnificent music even in very difficult and impoverished conditions. In 1905, the year he discovered relativity, Einstein was living in a cramped apartment and dealing with a difficult marriage and money troubles.
That spring he wrote four papers that were destined to change the course of science and nations. His ideas on space and time grew in part from aesthetic discontent. It seemed to him that asymmetries in physics concealed essential beauties of nature; existing theories lacked the "architecture" and "inner unity" he found in the music of Bach and Mozart. In his struggles with extremely complicated mathematics that led to the general theory of relativity of 1915, Einstein often turned for inspiration to the simple beauty of Mozart's music.
"Whenever he felt that he had come to the end of the road or into a difficult situation in his work or life, he would take refuge in music," recalled his older son, Hans Albert. "That would usually resolve all his difficulties." In the end, Einstein felt that in his own field he had, like Mozart, succeeded in unraveling the complexity of the universe.
Scientists often describe general relativity as the most beautiful theory ever formulated. Einstein himself always emphasized the theory's beauty. "Hardly anyone who has truly understood it will be able to escape the charm of this theory," he once said. The theory is essentially one man's view of how the universe ought to be. And amazingly, the universe turned out to be pretty much as Einstein imagined. Its daunting mathematics revealed spectacular and unexpected phenomena like black holes.
Though a Classical giant, Mozart helped lay groundwork for the Romantic with its less precise structures. Similarly, Einstein's theories of relativity completed the era of classical physics and paved the way for atomic physics and its ambiguities. Like Mozart's music, Einstein's work is a turning point. At a 1979 concert for the centenary of Einstein's birth, the Juilliard Quartet recalled having played for Einstein at his home in Princeton, N.J. They had taken quartets by Beethoven and Bartok and two Mozart quintets, said the first violinist, Robert Mann, whose remarks were recorded by the scholar Harry Woolf.
After playing the Bartok, Mann turned to Einstein. "It would give us great joy," he said, "to make music with you." Einstein in 1952 no longer had a violin, but the musicians had taken an extra. Einstein chose Mozart's brooding Quintet in G minor. "Dr. Einstein hardly referred to the notes on the musical score," Mr. Mann recalled, adding, "while his out-of-practice hands were fragile, his co-ordination, sense of pitch, and concentration were awesome." He seemed to pluck Mozart's melodies out of the air.
Einstein compared pure physics to music. Which among these draws a comparison between physics and music according to Einstein?
- The laws of nature like the theory of relativity were waiting to be plucked out of the cosmos just like music was ever present in the universe waiting to be discovered.
- Physics revealed a pre-established harmony exhibiting stunning symmetries as in music.
- The relativity theory is one man’s view of the universe.
- All of the above

In the question, there are five sentences / paragraphs. The sentence / paragraph labelled A is in its correct place. The four that follow are labelled B, C, D and E, and need to be arranged in the logical order to form a coherent paragraph / passage. From the given options, choose the most appropriate option.
1. Indonesia has experienced dramatic shifts in its formal governance arrangements since the fall of President Soeharto and the close of his centralized, authoritarian "New Order" regime in 1997.
2. The political system has taken its place in the nearly 10 years since Reformasi began. It has featured the active contest for political office among a proliferation of parties at central, provincial and district levels; direct elections for the presidency (since 2004): and radical changes in centre-local government relations towards administrative, fiscal, and political decentralization.
3. The mass media, once tidily under Soeharto's thumb, has experienced significant liberalization, as has the legal basis for non-governmental organizations, including many dedicated to such controversial issues as corruption control and human rights.
4. Such developments are seen optimistically by a number of donors and some external analysts, who interpret them as signs of Indonesia's political normalization.
5. A different group of analysts paint a picture in which the institutional forms have changed, but power relations have not. Vedi Hadiz argues that Indonesia's "democratic transition" has been anything but linear.

Guys. I want to improve PC and PJ in 3-4 days. I want to ace the questions actually. Want to tame them. Give me tips how to improve it in 3-4 days. I have a total of 30-40 hours to spend on PC and PJ in these 4 days. Which material is best to do them? What should be the appropriate strategy?
Sentences given in the following question, when properly sequenced form a coherent paragraph. Each sentence is labeled with a letter. Choose the most logical order of sentences from among the five given choices to construct a coherent paragraph.
- Lying at the point where the Eurasian plate constantly bumps up against the Indo-Australian plate, volcanoes in the archipelago have long been associated with outsized eruptions, deaths and misery.
- With some 130 active volcanoes, Indonesia is a hotbed of tectonic plate activity.
- The flip side of the destruction is the availability of a vast amount of geothermal energy that if harnessed, can provide Indonesia with the kind of clean and reliable energy source it is in desperate need of.
- The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa, for example, killed more than 36,000 people and is considered to be one of the loudest sounds ever heard in modern history.
- But all this geological ferment is not an unmitigated negative.

- Two reforms are possible here. The first is to encourage more entrants, since competition will reduce the incentive to store for long periods.
- However, if storage facilities are controlled by a small group of middlemen who procure in large volumes to manipulate price, it amounts to market failure.
- Hence, creation of storage facilities is encouraged in policy circles.
- Indian agriculture is vulnerable to sharp price cycles.
- The second is to bring in some degree of transparency and market intelligence.
