In which year did Internet reach India?

• A. 1994
• B. 1995
• C. 1990
• D. 2000

Answer: (B)

The event being tested is the moment Internet became available to the general public in India. Before that, India had ERNET, which connected universities and research institutions, but it didn’t bring broad consumer access. The turning point came in 1995 when VSNL opened the first public Internet gateway and started offering commercial Internet services. That year marks the start of widespread Internet use in the country. So, 1995 fits as the year Internet reached India. The other options don’t fit because 1990 is too early for public access, 1994 was before the public launch, and 2000 is well after the initial rollout.
