Q1With reference to the "TRL Compass" platform launched in June 2026, consider the following statements: 1. It adapts a globally accepted seven-level Technology Readiness Level scale to the research and innovation ecosystem of India. 2. It was launched by NITI Aayog in collaboration with the Data Security Council of India (DSCI). Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
The "TRL Compass" platform was launched on 29 June 2026 by the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser (OPSA), not NITI Aayog, in collaboration with the Data Security Council of India (DSCI). It adapts the globally accepted nine-level Technology Readiness Level (TRL) scale — not a seven-level scale — to the research and innovation ecosystem of India, providing a common national standard for assessing publicly funded projects and supporting initiatives such as ANRF and the Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) fund. Both statements are therefore incorrect.
Q2With reference to the TRL Compass platform, consider the following statements: 1. The MoU between OPSA and DSCI was signed on behalf of OPSA by Principal Scientific Adviser Professor Ajay Kumar Sood. 2. The platform includes sector-specific annexures for healthcare and pharmaceuticals as well as software. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Statement 1 is incorrect: the MoU was signed on behalf of OPSA by Advisor/Scientist G Dr. Preeti Banzal (and by DSCI CEO Vinayak Godse for DSCI), not by Professor Ajay Kumar Sood, who chaired the launch. Statement 2 is correct: TRL Compass includes sector-specific annexures for healthcare and pharmaceuticals as well as software. Hence only statement 2 is correct.
Q3With reference to the TRL Compass platform launched in June 2026, consider the following statements: 1. It was launched by the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser (OPSA) in collaboration with the Data Security Council of India (DSCI). 2.

Statement 1 is correct: OPSA launched TRL Compass on 29 June 2026 in collaboration with DSCI. Statement 2 is incorrect: the platform adapts the globally accepted nine-level (not five-level) TRL scale to India's research and innovation ecosystem. Hence only statement 1 is correct.
