MH SET 2025 Paper 2 Hindi Question Paper (15-Jun-2025)
The correct answer is

Both (i) and (ii) are correct

Both statements describe real digital initiatives of the Ministry of Education, and the two are deliberately complementary — one reaches learners who have television, the other reaches learners who have internet.

Statement (i) is correct. SWAYAM PRABHA is a bouquet of DTH channels that telecasts curriculum-based educational content around the clock, using the GSAT-15 satellite. Content is broadcast in slots that are repeated several times a day so a learner can choose a convenient viewing time, and it is aimed squarely at students in areas where reliable internet is not available.

Statement (ii) is correct. SWAYAM (Study Webs of Active-Learning for Young Aspiring Minds) hosts online MOOCs from the school stage through post-graduation. Courses are free to learn, and a learner who pays the examination fee and clears the proctored end-of-course examination receives a certificate; participating universities may accept the result for credit transfer under the UGC credit-framework regulations.

Hence both statements are correct.
