By which date were stakeholders asked to send written comments on the TRAI draft on AI in telecom?

  1. A.15 November 2026
  2. B.27 November 2026
  3. C.10 December 2026
  4. D.31 December 2026

Correct answer

B. 27 November 2026

Explanation

The correct answer is 27 November 2026. TRAI invited written comments from stakeholders up to that date, preferably in electronic form, addressed to the Advisor for Networks, Spectrum and Licensing, Akhilesh Kumar Trivedi, who is also the officer to be approached for clarification. Options A, C and D are wrong dates; they are placed close to the real one because the closing date of a consultation is a detail candidates tend to blur. The draft itself has been uploaded to the regulator's website for anyone to study. Remember that this consultation sits inside a wider policy frame, since the guidelines apply the India AI Governance Guidelines of February 2026 to the telecom sector, where networks carry essential services and critical infrastructure.

Q3.Science & TechnologyMedium

Infrared Focal Plane Arrays developed by DRDO perform which function in a tactical missile?

  1. A.They provide thrust in the boost phase
  2. B.They encrypt the data link to the launch platform
  3. C.They act as sensing elements for detecting and tracking the target
  4. D.They generate electrical power for onboard systems
Show answer
Correct answer: C. They act as sensing elements for detecting and tracking the target

Infrared Focal Plane Arrays were described as the eyes of tactical missiles: working through an imaging infrared seeker, they allow the missile to find and follow its target during the terminal phase of flight, and the exhibits covered the short-wave, mid-wave and long-wave infrared bands.
