Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Indian Institute of Advanced Study (IIAS) is located at the historic Rashtrapati Nivas in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh. The Indian Institute of Public Administration (IIPA) is a premier research and training organization headquartered at I.P. Estate, Ring Road, New Delhi. These two pairs are correctly matched. However, the Sushma Swaraj Institute of Foreign Service (SSIFS) is located in New Delhi, not Nainital [2]. Established in 1986 by the Ministry of External Affairs, it was renamed in 2020 to honor the former Minister of External Affairs [2]. The institute functions as the primary civil service training center for Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officers and is situated near JNU and IIT Delhi [2]. Therefore, only statements 1 and 2 are correct.
