Which edition of the India Mobile Congress is India preparing to host in New Delhi?

  1. A.8th
  2. B.9th
  3. C.10th
  4. D.12th

Correct answer

C. 10th

Explanation

The correct answer is the 10th edition. The interaction with the GSMA Board came as India prepared to host the tenth edition of India Mobile Congress in New Delhi, an event that gathers global technology and telecom leaders. The other options name editions that have either already passed or are still in the future, and none of them matches the edition described. The occasion matters for the exam because the number of the edition, the host city and the organising body are the details most often asked. Around the same engagement, GSMA Board members praised the spread of mobile connectivity in India, the scale of Digital Public Infrastructure and the growth of the telecom and mobile manufacturing ecosystem, and flagged cooperation in areas such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and satellite connectivity.

Q1.Science & TechnologyEasy

Where did the Prime Minister interact with the Board members of the GSMA?

  1. A.Bharat Mandapam
  2. B.Seva Teerth
  3. C.Hyderabad House
  4. D.Pragati Maidan
Show answer

Correct answer: B. Seva Teerth

Explanation

The correct answer is Seva Teerth. The Prime Minister held the interaction with Board members of the Global System for Mobile Communications Association at Seva Teerth, ahead of India Mobile Congress. The Union Minister for Communications and Development of the North Eastern Region and the Minister of State for Communications and Rural Development were present, along with senior officials of the Government of India. Option A, Bharat Mandapam, is the convention centre in the capital that has hosted several large summits and exhibitions, but it was not the venue for this interaction. Option C, Hyderabad House, is the venue normally used for bilateral talks and banquets with visiting heads of state and government. Option D, Pragati Maidan, is the exhibition complex in which Bharat Mandapam stands. Only Seva Teerth is named as the venue.

Q2.Science & TechnologyMedium

Who is the Union Minister for Communications who took part in the interaction with the GSMA Board?

  1. A.Jyotiraditya Scindia
  2. B.Ashwini Vaishnaw
  3. C.Piyush Goyal
  4. D.Dharmendra Pradhan
Show answer

Correct answer: A. Jyotiraditya Scindia

Explanation

The correct answer is Jyotiraditya Scindia, the Union Minister for Communications and Development of the North Eastern Region, who attended the interaction along with the Minister of State for Communications and Rural Development, Dr Pemmasani Chandra Sekhar, and senior officials of the Government of India. He has been leading India engagement with the global telecom ecosystem on next-generation connectivity, and at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona he addressed the GSMA Ministerial Programme on making connectivity more affordable, inclusive and future-ready. Options B, C and D name Union Ministers who hold other portfolios and who are not described as taking part in this interaction. For the examination, pair the portfolio with the person: Communications and the Development of the North Eastern Region are held together here, and the Minister of State is Dr Pemmasani Chandra Sekhar.

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?

  1. A.10 per cent
  2. B.15 per cent
  3. C.20 per cent
  4. 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.

Q4.Science & TechnologyMedium

The AI-enabled film Chekavar is set against the backdrop of which battle?

  1. A.Battle of Colachel, 1741
  2. B.Battle of Plassey, 1757
  3. C.Battle of Talikota, 1565
  4. 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.

Q5.Science & TechnologyEasy

The Create with AI programme is a collaboration between YouTube and which institution?

  1. A.Film and Television Institute of India
  2. B.Indian Institute of Creative Technologies
  3. C.Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute
  4. D.National School of Drama
Show answer

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.
