QUESTION 161

Which edition of Rozgar Mela was scheduled for 19 September 2026?

19 सितंबर 2026 के लिए रोजगार मेले का कौन-सा संस्करण तय था?
A. 17thB. 72ndC. ThirdD. 20th
Show answer & explanation
Answer: D
The answer is 20th. The question asks: Which edition of Rozgar Mela was scheduled for 19 September 2026? This answer follows from the specific fact stated in the supplied 18 September current-affairs notes. Read the unit and subject together: a count of aircraft, a number of people, a location and a calendar date answer different kinds of questions even when they appear in the same news item. 20th Rozgar Mela: More Than 51,000 Appointment Letters Announced On 18 September, the government announced that the 20th Rozgar Mela would be held on 19 September 2026. More than 51,000 appointment letters were scheduled to be distributed to newly recruited candidates. The event was planned at: 45 locations across India Recruitment covered several government organisations and departments, including Railways, Home Affairs, Revenue, Defence and Health. According to the official announcement, the cumulative number of appointment letters distributed through the Rozgar Mela initiative would reach approximately 12.75 lakh with this edition. What is Rozgar Mela? Rozgar Mela is a government initiative through which appointment letters are distributed to newly selected candidates for positions in government organisations. Important Distinction The announcement was made on 18 September, while the distribution event was scheduled for 19 September. Exam Points Edition → 20th Appointment letters → 51,000+ Locations → 45 Event date → 19 September 2026 This is a source-based quiz: estimates, reported snapshots, proposals, pending approvals and scheduled events should retain those qualifiers. In particular, a proposed investment does not establish completed spending, and an announced event does not establish that distribution has already happened. Use the surrounding context to distinguish the tested fact from nearby numbers and institutions.
QUESTION 162

Which ordered pair correctly answers both questions about topic 3: (1) Which semiconductor material was highlighted for high-power applications? (2) Which packaging substrate did Odisha highlight?

विषय 3 के दोनों प्रश्नों के क्रमवार सही उत्तर कौन-सी जोड़ी में हैं: (1) उच्च शक्ति वाले अनुप्रयोगों के लिए किस अर्धचालक सामग्री पर जोर दिया गया? (2) ओडिशा ने किस पैकेजिंग आधार सामग्री पर जोर दिया?

QUESTION 175

Which ordered pair correctly answers both questions about topic 2: (1) Which Union minister made the 18 September semiconductor announcement? (2) What is the full form of EDA?

विषय 2 के दोनों प्रश्नों के क्रमवार सही उत्तर कौन-सी जोड़ी में हैं: (1) 18 सितंबर को सेमीकंडक्टर संबंधी घोषणा किस केंद्रीय मंत्री ने की? (2) EDA का पूरा नाम क्या है?
A. Danesh Rana — Intellectual property rightsB. Ashwini Vaishnaw — MandodariC. Sachin Tendulkar — Electronic Design AutomationD. Ashwini Vaishnaw — Electronic Design Automation
Show answer & explanation
Answer: D
The correct ordered pair is Ashwini Vaishnaw followed by Electronic Design Automation. The first half answers “Which Union minister made the 18 September semiconductor announcement?” and the second half answers “What is the full form of EDA?” An option with only one correct half is still wrong. The order in the question matters, and swapping the two facts changes the answer. India Targets 200 Semiconductor Design Companies During SEMICON India 2026, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology highlighted the next phase of India's semiconductor development. The government stated that: Five semiconductor manufacturing plants had commenced commercial production. Approximately 70,000 design engineers had been trained over four years. 400 engineering colleges and 105 startups had gained access to industry-grade Electronic Design Automation tools. India was targeting 200 chip-design companies. The announcement was made on 18 September by Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. Six Pillars of ISM 2.0 The next phase of the India Semiconductor Mission focuses on: 1. Design 2. Materials and machines 3. More fabrication plants 4. More assembly, testing, marking and packaging units 5. Research and development 6. Talent development What is EDA? EDA stands for Electronic Design Automation. EDA software is used by engineers to design, simulate and verify electronic circuits and semiconductor chips. Exam Points Semiconductor design target → 200 companies Engineering colleges with EDA access → 400 Startups with EDA access → 105 Design engineers trained → Approximately 70,000 This is a source-based quiz: estimates, reported snapshots, proposals, pending approvals and scheduled events should retain those qualifiers.

QUESTION 176

Which ordered pair correctly answers both questions about topic 2: (1) How many startups gained access to EDA tools? (2) Which Union minister made the 18 September semiconductor announcement?

विषय 2 के दोनों प्रश्नों के क्रमवार सही उत्तर कौन-सी जोड़ी में हैं: (1) कितने स्टार्टअप को EDA उपकरणों की पहुँच मिली? (2) 18 सितंबर को सेमीकंडक्टर संबंधी घोषणा किस केंद्रीय मंत्री ने की?
A. 105 — Anant NagB. 12.75 lakh — Ashwini VaishnawC. 32 — Sanjukta ParasorD. 105 — Ashwini Vaishnaw
Show answer & explanation
Answer: D
The correct ordered pair is 105 followed by Ashwini Vaishnaw. The first half answers “How many startups gained access to EDA tools?” and the second half answers “Which Union minister made the 18 September semiconductor announcement?” An option with only one correct half is still wrong. The order in the question matters, and swapping the two facts changes the answer. India Targets 200 Semiconductor Design Companies During SEMICON India 2026, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology highlighted the next phase of India's semiconductor development. The government stated that: Five semiconductor manufacturing plants had commenced commercial production. Approximately 70,000 design engineers had been trained over four years. 400 engineering colleges and 105 startups had gained access to industry-grade Electronic Design Automation tools. India was targeting 200 chip-design companies. The announcement was made on 18 September by Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw.
