Schedule X of the Interconnection (Addressable Systems) Regulations lays down requirements mainly for which kind of system?

The correct answer is the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India. TRAI is the regulator for telecom as well as for broadcasting and cable services, and it is TRAI that has placed the draft manual for DRM-based digital addressable systems in the public domain for comments. The paper gives auditors a clause-wise method for checking platforms that fall under Schedule X of the Interconnection (Addressable Systems) Regulations of 2017. The Securities and Exchange Board of India, in option A, regulates the securities market and has no role in television distribution audits. Prasar Bharati, in option C, is the public service broadcaster that runs Doordarshan and All India Radio; it is a broadcaster, not the authority that frames audit procedures for private distribution platforms. The Central Board of Film Certification, in option D, certifies films for public exhibition and is likewise unconnected with the audit of addressable systems. Only TRAI frames and issues such manuals under the interconnection rules.

The correct answer is 30 October 2026. The regulator has asked for written inputs, comments and suggestions by that date, and has said that each one should be supported by detailed reasons, justification and relevant data. Comments are to be sent preferably in electronic form to the Broadcasting and Cable Services wing. Option B, 30 November 2026, and option C, 19 November 2026, are later dates that find no place in the consultation notice. Option D, 10 March 2026, is a date in the past and is the kind of distractor built from the earlier Schedule III manual rather than from this draft; a comment period cannot close before the paper itself was issued. Candidates should therefore link the draft DRM manual with the deadline falling at the end of October, and remember that the draft has also been hosted on the regulator’s website for public reading.

The correct answer is The Emerging Sustainability Landscape: Responding to Shifting Winds. That issue of the CTIL Magazine examines the opportunities and the challenges developing countries may face as they take part in the evolving intersection of trade and sustainability. Option C is the distractor to watch, because Investment Law Compass is a real publication of the centre, its monthly newsletter on developments in investment law and policy, and a special anniversary edition of it was launched at the same event, but that is the newsletter and not the magazine. Options A and D are invented titles, though both touch themes the speakers raised, since the Commerce Secretary spoke of digital trade and sustainability-linked trade measures reshaping the global agenda. The ceremony ended with Distinguished Long Service Awards for CTIL faculty and staff.

The correct answer is more than 4,000. Prof. James J. Nedumpara, Head of the Centre for Trade and Investment Law and WTO India Chair, said the centre had provided that many legal opinions, had participated in negotiations concerning nearly ten free trade agreements, and had contributed to negotiations, submissions, notifications and dispute settlement at the World Trade Organization. Options A, B and D are invented totals and appear nowhere in the account of the event. Candidates should pair the figure with the other number from the same sentence, namely the count of free trade agreements, and with the areas the Joint Secretary listed as the centre's newer research interests, which were critical minerals, semiconductors, artificial intelligence, supply chains, climate and sustainability.

The correct answer is the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade. The Centre for Trade and Investment Law is housed there, and its Head, Prof. James J. Nedumpara, also holds the WTO India Chair. He said the centre was established to strengthen India's trade capacity as a broader element of economic statecraft, and noted that it has given more than four thousand legal opinions. The Vice Chancellor of the institute, Dr. K. Rangarajan, spoke at the anniversary about how specialised trade-policy institutions had grown there. Options B, C and D name respected bodies in economics, law and public administration, but none of them hosts the centre. The anniversary was held at the Prime Minister's Museum and Library in New Delhi, which was the venue and not the parent institution, a distinction worth keeping clear.
