Q.46-50)

Read RC Passage to Answer:

Micron’s $ 800 million semiconductor plant followed by recent approval to Tata Group and CG Power for fabrication and Assembly, Testing, and Packaging (ATP) plants with an investment of ₹ 1,30,00 crore (and more in the pipeline) are the beginning of a transformational global supply chain shift centered around chip manufacturing in India. This will create a multiplier effect on talented and skilled workforces inside India.

It’s a matter of pride that almost one-third of the global semiconductor talent pool is Indian. However, the need for a domestic semiconductor workforce is estimated to be around 3,00,000 by 2026. In addition, there is also a huge manpower requirement of almost six million in the electronic manufacturing sector which will be the largest beneficiary of this chip boom.

The current combined Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) graduate output from India’s higher education institutions is inadequate.

The growth is certainly going to come from the non-IITian orbit and the policy pathways of the Ministries of Electronics and IT and Education converge to present bountiful opportunities for industry and academia to work together.

This industry-academia synergy was key to India’s software success story. Now a similar trifecta of government-industry-academia is needed to make this a winning semicon trio.

Q.46) India’s share in the semiconductor global talent pool is :

[1] Two-thirds

[2] One-third

[3] Three-fourths

[4] One-fifth

Correct Answer: 2

Explanation:

The passage states, “It’s a matter of pride that almost one-third of the global semiconductor talent pool is Indian.”

Q.47) As a result of the chip boom, the requirement of the workforce in the electronics manufacturing sector will:

[1] remain unchanged

[2] lead to job losses

[3] increase

[4] drastically go down

Correct Answer: 3

Q.48) The need for additional talented and skilled workforce in the domestic semiconductor sector has been created by :

A. The approval was given to Tata Group and CG Power for fabrication and ATP plants

B. Micron’s $ 800 million semiconductor plant

C. Setting up of new Universities

D. The global supply chain shift centered around chip manufacturing in India
