The Current Affairs questions are based on sources like ‘The Hindu’, ‘Indian Express’ and ‘PIB’, which are very important sources for UPSC Prelims Exam. The questions are focused on both the concepts and facts. The topics covered here are generally different from what is being covered under ‘Daily Current Affairs/Daily News Analysis (DNA) and Daily Static Quiz’ to avoid duplication. The questions would be published from Monday to Saturday before 2 PM. One should not spend more than 10 minutes on this initiative.
Gear up and Make the Best Use of this initiative.
Do remember that, “the difference between Ordinary and EXTRA-Ordinary is PRACTICE!!”

Consider the following with respect to ‘National Medical Commission (NMC)’
Select the correct statement(s)
Solution (b)
Statement Analysis:
| Statement 1 | Statement 2 | Statement 3 |
| Incorrect | Correct | Correct |
| It has been constituted by an Act of Parliament known as National Medical Commission Act, 2019 | National Medical Commission (NMC) is an organization in India that was established to reform and regulate medical education and practice in the country. It replaced the Medical Council of India (MCI) with the aim of ensuring transparency, accountability, and quality in medical education and healthcare services. | NMC operates under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. |
Context: Recently, Doctors criticized the National Medical Commission logo featuring a vibrant depiction of the physician god Dhanvantri, IMA urges corrective action.

| Correct | Incorrect | Correct | Correct |
| Nuclear fusion is the process where two light atomic nuclei come together to form a heavier nucleus. This process releases a significant amount of energy. | Experimental nuclear fusion reactors typically use isotopes of hydrogen as fuel. The most common combination is deuterium (a form of hydrogen with one neutron) and tritium (a form of hydrogen with two neutrons). These isotopes are more feasible for controlled fusion reactions on Earth. | The sun and other stars primarily generate energy through nuclear fusion. In the sun’s core, hydrogen nuclei (protons) undergo fusion to form helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. | Fusion reactions generally produce less long-lived radioactive waste compared to fission reactions. In a fusion reaction, the fuel consists of isotopes of hydrogen, and the products are usually lighter elements. The waste produced is typically less harmful and has a shorter half-life compared to the radioactive waste produced in nuclear fission reactions. |
Context: The world’s largest nuclear fusion reactor, the JT-60SA in Japan’s Ibaraki Prefecture, has commenced operations, marking a significant step toward achieving clean energy.

With reference to ‘Quantum computers’ consider the following statements
How many statement(s) given above are correct
Solution (b)
Statement Analysis:
| Statement 1 | Statement 2 | Statement 3 |
| Incorrect | Correct | Correct |
| Quantum computers use qubits, not classical bits, as the basic unit of information. Unlike classical bits, qubits can exist in a superposition of states, allowing for more complex and parallel computations. | Quantum entanglement is a quantum phenomenon where qubits become correlated in such a way that the state of one qubit directly influences the state of another, regardless of the physical distance between them. This property is one of the key features of quantum mechanics. | Quantum superposition allows qubits to exist in multiple states simultaneously. This property enables quantum computers to perform parallel processing, potentially leading to faster computations for certain algorithms. |
Context: IBM has introduced Condor, its latest quantum computing chip featuring 1,121 superconducting qubits, surpassing the 1,000 qubit milestone.
