WorldSkills Shanghai 2026 is which edition of the WorldSkills Competition?
- A.46th
- B.47th
- C.48th
- D.49th
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the 48th. WorldSkills Shanghai 2026 is the 48th edition of the WorldSkills Competition and is being held in Shanghai from 22 to 27 September 2026. India has entered a contingent of 70 competitors who are taking part across 63 skills, and 14 of those competitors are young women, which works out to more than a fifth of the squad. Options A and B are wrong because they name earlier editions of the championship, while option D is wrong because it runs ahead of the current one. Edition numbers, host cities and dates are the three details an examiner is most likely to combine in a single question about an international competition, so it is worth fixing all three together rather than remembering only the year.
