Daily Current Affairs November 15, 2026: Complete Sunday Exam Digest
The exam-relevant news of the day: National Sports Awards presented with no Khel Ratna this year, a Cabinet nod for a sports-goods manufacturing scheme, IB ACIO Tier-2 results declared for 3,717 posts, and the UPSC DAF window entering its final week.
Today’s 10 Points
- National Sports Awards 2025 presented (13 November). President Droupadi Murmu honoured the winners at Rashtrapati Bhavan — 17 sportspersons received the Arjuna Award, and no Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna was awarded this year, a first-of-its-kind omission worth a GA question.
- Tejaswin Shankar among the honorees. The decathlete — who switched from high jump — featured in this year’s awards list, a rare multi-event recognition.
- Union Cabinet approved the Khelo Bharat Sports Goods Manufacturing Scheme. The scheme aims to build a globally competitive sports-manufacturing ecosystem, joining the Container Manufacturing PLI as this month’s manufacturing-sector approvals.
- IB ACIO Tier-2 Result 2026 declared at mha.gov.in for 3,717 Grade-II/Executive posts — a live result for Intelligence Bureau aspirants; document verification is the next stage.
- UPSC DAF window closes 25 November. The Detailed Application Form for the 2,526 CSE Mains qualifiers must be submitted within ten days — the single most time-sensitive deadline on the calendar.
- SSC CPO/SI exams begin 20 November. The SSC November stretch continues; admit cards are released a few days before each slot on ssc.gov.in.
- SSC CHSL Tier-1 opens 30 November. ~2,536 tentative vacancies were listed in the September notification; the window runs through 31 December.
- COP31 climate summit context. The latest UN climate conference (hosted by Turkey this cycle) remains in the news — international summits and their host countries are recurring one-mark items.
- IBPS Clerk Mains in December. With the Prelims result week concluded, successful candidates shift to the Mains pattern — the December examination decides final selection.
- Scheme-extension recap for Prelims: Stand-Up India and CGFMU now run to 31 March 2031 (Cabinet, 11 November) — statement questions on scheme timelines are near-certain Prelims material.
