Who is the first Indian woman Grandmaster in chess?
Humpy Koneru
Humpy Koneru is correct.
In chess, FIDE awards the open Grandmaster (GM) title, the highest title in the game, separately from the women-only Woman Grandmaster (WGM) title.
Koneru Humpy became the first Indian woman to earn the Grandmaster title in 2002, at the age of 15.
S. Vijayalakshmi was India's first Woman Grandmaster (WGM) and the first Indian woman International Master, which is a different title; Kruttika Nadig and Padmini Rout earned their titles later.
Hence, the first Indian woman Grandmaster is Humpy Koneru.
Note: The official RRB answer key marks S. Vijayalakshmi, who was the first Indian Woman Grandmaster (WGM). For the Grandmaster title itself, the correct answer is Koneru Humpy (2002), so the answer here is set to Humpy Koneru.
