How many Working Group white papers were released by the Bharat 6G Alliance at the symposium?

  1. A.Five
  2. B.Seven
  3. C.Nine
  4. D.Seventeen

Correct answer

C. Nine

Explanation

The correct answer is nine. The Bharat 6G Alliance released nine Working Group white papers, reflecting the technical contributions of its industry, academic and research members. Their subjects run from a 6G technology landscape survey and a research roadmap for India, through Integrated Sensing and Communication, fixed wireless access and optical technologies, to spectrum readiness, sustainable networks designed for a carbon net zero future, cellular and Wi-Fi synergy, captive non-public networks and security for 6G. Option A, five, is the number of fresh Memoranda of Understanding exchanged at the same ceremony, with GSMA, the one6G Association, GTI Alliance Ltd, the 6G Industry Forum and VoICE, so it belongs to a different count. Option D, seventeen, is the Alliance total number of collaborations after the new agreements were added to the ten global and two domestic ones it already held. Option B, seven, matches nothing announced.

Q1.Science & TechnologyEasy

Which edition of the International Bharat 6G Symposium was inaugurated at Yashobhoomi, Dwarka, New Delhi?

  1. A.First
  2. B.Second
  3. C.Third
  4. D.Fifth
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Third

Explanation

The correct answer is the third edition. Union Minister for Communications and Development of North Eastern Region Jyotiraditya M. Scindia inaugurated the 3rd International Bharat 6G Symposium 2026, organised by the Bharat 6G Alliance at Yashobhoomi, Dwarka, in New Delhi, with sessions running from 7 to 9 October 2026. Option A, the first edition, is wrong because the symposium has been held earlier as well. Option B, the second edition, is the trap most worth noticing: the earlier edition is the one at which the New Delhi Declaration on 6G principles was endorsed, in 2025, and the report released this year marks one year since that endorsement. Option D, the fifth edition, is too far ahead of the actual count. A clean way to hold this together is the pairing of the edition with its year, that is the third edition in 2026 and the Declaration endorsed at the symposium held in 2025.

Q2.Science & TechnologyMedium

After the new agreements at the symposium, how many collaborations does the Bharat 6G Alliance have in all?

  1. A.Twelve
  2. B.Fifteen
  3. C.Seventeen
  4. D.Twenty-two
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Seventeen

Explanation

The correct answer is seventeen. Before the symposium the Bharat 6G Alliance already held ten global and two domestic collaborations, and at the inaugural ceremony it exchanged five more Memoranda of Understanding, with GSMA, the one6G Association, GTI Alliance Ltd, the 6G Industry Forum and VoICE. Adding the five fresh agreements to the twelve it already had takes the partnership network to seventeen in all, which is the figure to remember. Option A, twelve, is only the earlier tally of global and domestic collaborations, before the new signings. Option B, fifteen, and option D, twenty-two, do not match either stage of the count. The arithmetic itself is worth memorising rather than the single number, since questions on this item can be framed either as the earlier total, the number added, or the new combined figure.

Q3.Science & TechnologyHard

At which event was the New Delhi Declaration on 6G principles endorsed?

  1. A.India Mobile Congress
  2. B.The International Bharat 6G Symposium held in 2025
  3. C.The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly
  4. D.The Bharat 6G Symposium held in 2024
Show answer
Correct answer: B. The International Bharat 6G Symposium held in 2025

Explanation

The correct answer is the International Bharat 6G Symposium held in 2025. The joint report released at this year ceremony, titled Progress towards the 6G Principles of the New Delhi Declaration: Actions, Outcomes and Outlook, First Edition, October 2026, marks the completion of one year since the Declaration was endorsed at that symposium, and records the actions and outcomes reported by the partner bodies which signed it. The Declaration itself sets out a common framework for building 6G as a secure, resilient, open, interoperable, inclusive and sustainable ecosystem, with emphasis on international cooperation in research, innovation and standardisation. Option A names a different telecom event. Option D shifts the year and so breaks the one-year link that the progress report is built around. Option C names a standards assembly that was not the forum where the Declaration was endorsed.

Q4.Science & TechnologyHard

Which of these was NOT named by the minister as an initiative building capability in emerging scientific fields?

  1. A.Deep Ocean Mission
  2. B.Quantum Mission
  3. C.Anusandhan National Research Foundation
  4. D.National Supercomputing Mission
Show answer
Correct answer: D. National Supercomputing Mission

Explanation

The correct answer is the National Supercomputing Mission, which the minister did not name in this address. The initiatives he cited as creating capability in emerging fields were the Deep Ocean Mission, the Quantum Mission, artificial intelligence, cyber security and the Anusandhan National Research Foundation, so options A, B and C all appear on that list. On the Deep Ocean Mission he said India is only beginning to explore the scientific and economic potential of its oceans, including resources that remain largely unexamined. In biotechnology he separately pointed to a framework built around biotechnology for economy, environment and employment, the world’s first DNA vaccine against COVID-19 and the Genome India initiative. Chandrayaan-3 was his example of running a sophisticated mission at remarkably low cost.

Q5.Science & TechnologyMedium

What is India's target for nuclear energy capacity, as mentioned by the minister?

  1. A.50 GW by 2040
  2. B.75 GW by 2035
  3. C.100 GW by 2047
  4. D.200 GW by 2050
Show answer
Correct answer: C. 100 GW by 2047

Explanation

The correct answer is 100 GW by 2047. The minister referred to this target together with the opening of the nuclear sector to private participation, and described nuclear power as an important clean-energy source for future requirements, among them the demand created by artificial intelligence and data centres. Options A, B and D pair plausible capacity figures with plausible years, which is exactly how such questions are built, so both halves of the answer must be remembered. The year 2047 matters because it marks a century of independence and is the horizon for several national targets, so a candidate who recalls the year can often reason to the right option. The capacity figure of 100 GW should be stored alongside the space economy numbers from the same address.
