For frontline fighters there aren't dedicated training SQDs in the IAF. The pilots follow the 4 step training process- BTT, IJT, AJT and OCU. The OCU is on the type of a/c they will fly. So if you have a M2K pilot he will undergo the 3 initial stages then go and train on a 2 seat M2K from one of the operational M2K SQDs, if you have a MKI pilot he will complete the first 3 stages then go and train on the MKI (already a twin seat) from an MKI SQD. Keeping a state of the art fighter like the MKI or Rafale in purely a training role is a colossal waste of resources and capabilities.2 full sqd abd May be half dedicated training Sqd. ????

I'm sure they have done some work on this front but they need to have the Rafale in their hands for a period of time to get the main body of of the work done. They can't be expected to work with out the Rafale in their possession.TACDE already started writing book, dont you think so?
generally GOI will not roll back on previous GOI's decision

Of course, been doing that for 4 years now
I'm gonna pull a time out of my backside but I'd wager on the deal being signed before August 2016 with Boeing/Saab
Silly question really, a procurement of this scale and nature is entirely unprecedented in modern history. There is no set time frame for these things, the complexity of this deal is colossal and throw in a general election right at the end of the talks then you get this situation.How many years will it take till India signs the contract ...
Fixed it for you...

I'm sorry but this is an illogical comparison. India's MMRCA IS unique in modern history- 6 competing aircraft from 6 different manufactures with complex offset and ToT requirements. The IAF had to test each individual a/c on over 600 pre-defined parameters both in India and in their home nation, compile a detailed report highlighting their preference that went to the MoD and only then were the bids opened and negations begun. What India has achieved is quite remarkable and the bidders have been nothing but praising of the selection and bidding process similarly other countries (Brazil for e.g.) had expressed interest in the IAF's selection reports for which the IAF has applied a patent to.Unprecedented in moder history? That's too big to take. We ordered 151 F-15SA after 2 consecutive years of negotiations.
Nonsense, this really is. India has never asked for a discount, it will pay for what best meets its needs. Similarly the Indian side's demand for ToT has been constant and hasn't fluctuated and is the same as it was outlined in the RFPs.The reason why India didn't sign till now is due to the fact that it wants a bigger discount, and more ToT.
we dont have oil wells like you!!How many years will it take till India signs the contract ...
