Bharat 6G Alliance Signs Five MoUs at 3rd 6G Symposium

The correct answer is five. A key outcome of the symposium was the exchange of five new memoranda of understanding, with GSMA, one6G, the GTI Alliance, the 6G Innovation Forum of Taiwan and VOICE, which open the way to international cooperation, joint research, trials and the sharing of knowledge. Options A, B and D, three, four and seven, are wrong because they do not match the count; a candidate who remembers only that several agreements were signed will be caught by them. It helps to learn the partners alongside the number, since a paper setter may ask which body was not among them. The symposium also saw the release of ten white papers and reports, one of which is a progress report on the 6G Joint Principles, and it drew more than 75 speakers, among them over 30 experts from other countries.

The correct answer is Dr. Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani, Minister of State for Communications and Rural Development, who closed the symposium at Yashobhoomi in Dwarka, New Delhi. Option A is wrong because Jyotiraditya M. Scindia is the Minister of Communications and spoke at other events of the week, not at this valedictory session. Option C is wrong because Dr. Jitendra Singh handles science and technology and does not figure here. Option D is wrong because Dr. Rajkumar Upadhyay, chief executive of the Centre for Development of Telematics, is named as the moderator of a session at the coming conclave, not as the speaker at this one. In his address the minister said that self-reliance and global collaboration are not opposites, and that affordability, accessibility and coverage must be built into 6G from the design stage rather than added later.

The correct answer is 2023, the Alliance having been set up in July of that year. It is an industry-led collaborative platform that brings together telecom service providers, industry, startups, academia and research institutions to advance the country's 6G ambitions, and it works on indigenous research and innovation, the creation of intellectual property, engagement with international standards and partnerships for an affordable, secure, sustainable and globally interoperable 6G ecosystem. Options A, B and D are wrong because none of those years is the year of its founding; they are placed close to the right answer because questions on founding years usually turn on a single digit. Candidates should tie the Alliance to its goal of contributing to the IMT-2030 roadmap and to the wider national aim of a developed India by 2047, the hundredth year of independence.

The correct answer is Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. The Department of Telecommunications presented a curtain raiser for the second conclave at the valedictory session, and it is scheduled from 27 to 29 October 2026 at that venue, guided by the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser and organised by CSIR along with twelve participating ministries and departments, on the theme 'Creative Minds, Catalyzing Science, Empowering Technologies'. Option A is wrong because Yashobhoomi hosted the 6G symposium itself, not the coming conclave, which makes it the trap in this set. Options C and D are wrong because neither venue is mentioned. The three days hold plenary talks, nine thematic technical sessions, panel discussions, exhibitions and business meetings, and the Department of Telecommunications will lead the session on Intelligent Networks and Quantum Communication.
