MCQs 2026

Quantum Advantage refers to the milestone where a quantum computer performs a calculation that is practically impossible for even the most powerful classical supercomputers.

Silicon-based spin qubits are favored in 2026 due to their compatibility with existing semiconductor manufacturing processes.

Logical Qubit Fidelity is the standard for measuring how reliably a quantum computer can perform calculations without errors, a key focus of 2026 research.

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) allows ISRO satellites to capture high-quality images regardless of cloud cover or lack of sunlight, making it essential for 2026 missions.

The 2026 EOS missions focus on high-revisit capabilities to support real-time disaster management, climate monitoring, and precision agriculture.

The Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) is increasingly being utilized by ISRO for rapid and cost-effective deployment of Earth Observation satellites into Low Earth Orbit.

The 'Make in India' initiative, launched in 2014, is a flagship program designed to encourage companies to manufacture their products in India and incentivize investment into the manufacturing sector.

Strong manufacturing output growth typically leads to increased production, which in turn requires more labor, thus boosting employment opportunities. It also generally contributes to higher exports, FDI, and tax revenues.

The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) measures the growth rates in different industry groups of the economy over a specified period. It is compiled and published monthly by the National Statistical Office (NSO). While PMI is also used, IIP is the official measure of industrial output.

When the repo rate is maintained, it signals stability in the central bank's monetary policy stance. This generally leads to commercial banks keeping their lending rates stable or making only marginal adjustments, as their cost of borrowing from the RBI remains unchanged.
