The pattern that enables stateless microservices to scale independently is called ________ Scaling.
Answer: Horizontal
Horizontal scaling adds more instances of stateless services to handle increased load. Contrasts with vertical scaling (upgrading instance size).
The Indian government's initiative for promoting semiconductor manufacturing is called India ________ Mission.
Answer: Semiconductor
India Semiconductor Mission implements ₹76,000 crore incentive scheme for semiconductor fabs, display fabs, ATMP, design ecosystem.
The program that supports student innovation through grants and mentorship in educational institutions is called Atal ________ Labs.
Answer: Tinkering
Atal Tinkering Labs provide makerspaces with tools for students to innovate. Fosters creativity, problem-solving, entrepreneurship from school level.
The framework that provides guidelines for software security testing is called OWASP ________.
Answer: ASVS / Application Security Verification Standard
OWASP ASVS provides security requirements and testing guidelines for web applications. Critical for secure software development lifecycle.
Which DeFi risk arises from smart contract vulnerabilities that can be exploited by attackers?
- Impermanent Loss
- Smart Contract Risk
- Oracle Manipulation
- All of these
Answer: All of these
DeFi risks: smart contract bugs enable fund theft, oracle manipulation feeds false prices, impermanent loss affects liquidity providers. Critical for DeFi security understanding.
Which advantage do neuromorphic chips offer over traditional GPUs for AI inference?
- Higher Precision
- Lower Energy Consumption
- Larger Memory
- Faster Clock Speed
Answer: Lower Energy Consumption
Neuromorphic chips achieve orders-of-magnitude better energy efficiency by mimicking brain's event-driven, sparse computation. Critical for edge AI and sustainable computing.
The computing paradigm that uses quantum mechanical phenomena for solving optimization problems is called ________ Annealing.
Answer: Quantum
Quantum annealing uses quantum tunneling to find global minima in optimization landscapes. Suitable for logistics, finance, machine learning. Different from gate-based quantum computing.
The technique that replaces sensitive data with non-sensitive equivalents while preserving format is called ________.
Answer: Tokenization
Tokenization replaces sensitive values with format-preserving tokens, reversible via secure vault. Used in payments, healthcare for PCI-DSS compliance.
The Right to Erasure allows individuals to request deletion of their personal data under DPDP Act.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten) allows individuals to request deletion when data no longer necessary or consent withdrawn. Critical for privacy compliance.
The technique that reconstructs sensitive attributes from model predictions is called Model ________ Attack.
Answer: Inversion
Model inversion exploits model outputs to infer sensitive training data attributes. Critical privacy risk for ML systems handling personal data.
Data poisoning attacks manipulate training data to compromise model behavior during inference.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Data poisoning injects malicious samples into training data to cause targeted misclassifications or backdoors. Mitigation: data validation, robust training, anomaly detection.
Which technique protects ML models from adversarial attacks by training with perturbed inputs?
- Adversarial Training
- Defensive Distillation
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
Adversarial training includes adversarial examples in training data; defensive distillation smooths model outputs. Both improve robustness against adversarial attacks.
The pattern of gradually shifting traffic between application versions for safe deployments is called ________ Release.
Answer: Canary
Canary Release deploys new version to small user subset, monitors metrics, gradually expands if stable. Reduces risk vs big-bang releases.
The Indian mission that successfully demonstrated in-orbit docking technology in 2024 is called ________.
Answer: SPADEX
SPADEX (Space Docking Experiment) successfully demonstrated autonomous rendezvous and docking of two spacecraft in Earth orbit.
The Hyderabad-based initiative that is India's largest startup incubator is called ________.
Answer: T-Hub
T-Hub (Telangana) is India's largest innovation campus, connecting startups with corporates, investors, mentors. Supports deep tech, healthtech, enterprise solutions.
Which DeFi protocol enables automated market making without order books?
- Uniswap
- Aave
- Compound
- MakerDAO
Answer: Uniswap
Uniswap uses automated market maker (AMM) model with liquidity pools instead of order books. Enables permissionless token trading with constant product formula.
Which technology enables real-time monitoring of renewable energy generation for grid balancing?
- SCADA
- IoT Sensors
- AI Forecasting
- All of these
Answer: All of these
