Difficulty: MediumExplicit and Fact-Based Information Extraction

Read the passage given below carefully:

In October 2025, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) launched the National Semiconductor Skill Framework (NSSF). Under the framework, non-autonomous technical institutes receive direct infrastructure grants up to ₹5 crore, provided they maintain a minimum 85% placement rate in semiconductor manufacturing over three consecutive academic years. However, autonomous research universities are exempted from the placement rate threshold if they file at least ten international patents annually.

Statement: Under the National Semiconductor Skill Framework, autonomous research universities must maintain a minimum placement rate of 85% in semiconductor manufacturing to qualify for infrastructure grants.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False. Autonomous research universities are explicitly exempted from the 85% placement rate condition if they meet the alternative requirement of filing at least ten international patents annually.
The factual claim in the statement directly contradicts the explicit passage details. The text explicitly provides an exemption from the 85% placement rate requirement for autonomous research universities that file at least ten international patents annually.

The statement asserts that autonomous research universities are mandatory bound by an 85% placement rate threshold to get grants.
To establish the precise factual claim that needs verification against the text.
2
Locate explicit details regarding autonomous research universities in the passage
The passage specifies that autonomous research universities are exempted from the placement rate threshold if they file at least ten international patents annually.
Direct text extraction confirms that the placement condition is not mandatory for autonomous universities.
