The Create with AI programme is a collaboration between YouTube and which institution?
- A.Film and Television Institute of India
- B.Indian Institute of Creative Technologies
- C.Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute
- D.National School of Drama
Correct answer
B. Indian Institute of Creative Technologies
Explanation
The correct answer is Indian Institute of Creative Technologies. The Create with AI programme was announced in November 2025 by IICT together with YouTube, to support creative projects built with artificial intelligence and to strengthen India's capability in emerging technologies, and the first four AI-enabled short films under it were unveiled at the IICT Theatre in Mumbai. Option A is wrong because the Film and Television Institute of India is a separate training institute and is not a partner in this programme. Option C is wrong for the same reason, as that institute in Kolkata has no stated role here. Option D is wrong because the National School of Drama works in theatre training. IICT is India's National Centre of Excellence for Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, Comics and Extended Reality, which is the sector this programme belongs to.

Practice Questions
The AI-enabled film Chekavar is set against the backdrop of which battle?
- A.Battle of Colachel, 1741
- B.Battle of Plassey, 1757
- C.Battle of Talikota, 1565
- D.Battle of Wandiwash, 1760
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Battle of Colachel, 1741
Explanation
The correct answer is Battle of Colachel, 1741. Chekavar, made by Avium Studios, is a fictional cinematic story set against that historic battle, and it draws inspiration from the land, the people, the courage and the martial traditions of the era. Option B is wrong because the Battle of Plassey, although a famous turning point in Indian history, is not the setting of this film. Option C is wrong because the Battle of Talikota belongs to a much earlier period of peninsular history and does not appear here. Option D is wrong because the Battle of Wandiwash is likewise not connected to the film. The other three films unveiled on the same day were CHANAKYA: The Mind of an Empire, DEVI: The Nine Astras and Laika, which should be remembered with their studios.
According to the Gen Media India report by Public First and Google, generative media tools give creative workers in India a productivity boost of how much?
- A.10 per cent
- B.15 per cent
- C.20 per cent
- D.35 per cent
Show answer
Correct answer: C. 20 per cent
Explanation
The correct answer is 20 per cent. The Gen Media India report prepared by Public First and Google found that generative media tools offer a productivity boost of that order for creative workers in India, which translates into roughly 390 hours saved every year, or close to ten full weeks given back for writing, world-building and refining craft. The reasoning is that generative tools remove production bottlenecks rather than replace the creator. Option A, Option B and Option D are all wrong because no such figure is reported in the study; the boost quoted is a fifth of working time. Aspirants should pair the percentage with the hours saved, since a question may ask for either, and should also note the names of the two organisations behind the report.
TTT-DHTD was developed by researchers from which set of institutions?
- A.IIT Madras, IISc Bengaluru and CSIR-NCL Pune
- B.S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences, Institute of Nano Science and Technology and SRM University, Amaravati
- C.TIFR Mumbai, IISER Pune and BARC
- D.IIT Kanpur, JNCASR and ARCI Hyderabad
Show answer
Correct answer: B. S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences, Institute of Nano Science and Technology and SRM University, Amaravati
Explanation
The correct answer is S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences, Kolkata, the Institute of Nano Science and Technology, Mohali, and SRM University, Amaravati. The first two are institutions of the Department of Science and Technology, and the team was led by Dr. Pradip Pachfule, Prof. Ramendra Sundar Dey and Prof. Ranjit Thapa respectively, with the findings published in the journal Science Advances. Options A, C and D list well-known Indian research bodies, including engineering institutes, basic science institutes and national laboratories, but none of these combinations is the group credited with this particular material. Remember that questions on such announcements often ask either for the lead institution, for the parent department, or for the journal, so it is worth memorising all three: the Department of Science and Technology as parent, Kolkata and Mohali as the two institute locations, and Science Advances as the journal.
In laboratory tests, TTT-DHTD held its performance without decay for how long of continuous operation?
- A.48 hours
- B.72 hours
- C.120 hours
- D.240 hours
Show answer
Correct answer: C. 120 hours
Explanation
The correct answer is 120 hours. Tests showed that even after that long a spell of continuous running, the material kept its performance and did not suffer the degradation or contamination that commonly affects catalysts built around metals. This durability matters as much as the raw activity figure, because a catalyst that performs brilliantly for an hour and then decays is of little practical use in a battery meant for transport or for storing renewable power. Options A and B understate the tested period, while option D overstates it by a wide margin. Candidates should pair this number with the other headline figure from the same study, namely that the material reached roughly ninety-six per cent of the performance of commercial platinum catalysts, and should also remember that the simulations traced the result to sites in the molecular structure where oxygen attaches and reacts readily.
The newly developed metal-free catalyst TTT-DHTD is designed to replace which costly metal used in clean-energy devices?
- A.Palladium
- B.Platinum
- C.Iridium
- D.Ruthenium
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Platinum
Explanation
The correct answer is platinum. Many clean-energy technologies, and hydrogen fuel cells in particular, depend on platinum to speed up the oxygen reduction reaction, and because it is one of the rarest and most expensive metals available, its cost and limited supply stand in the way of large-scale use. The newly reported organic framework matched about ninety-six per cent of the performance of commercial platinum catalysts while using no precious metal at all, which is why the work matters for the price of zinc-air cells. Options A, C and D name palladium, iridium and ruthenium, which are also costly metals used in various catalytic applications, but none of them is the metal identified as the benchmark and the bottleneck in this study. Candidates should link the material to platinum, to the oxygen reduction reaction and to zinc-air batteries together, since questions usually test one of these three links.
