The National Testing Agency (NTA) has changed the date for the JEE (Main) 2025 Session-I exam for 114 students in Bengaluru because there was a technical problem. The exam was supposed to take place on January 22, 2025, but it will now be held on either January 28 or 29, 2025, as per an official notice.

The technical issue happened at the e-Talent Examination Centre in Bengaluru, Karnataka. The NTA explained that due to this problem, the exam for 114 affected candidates has been rescheduled. They will receive new admit cards, along with other students taking the exam on the new dates.

JEE Admit Card and Information

The NTA assures all affected candidates will get fresh admit cards and advises them to frequently check the NTA website for updates related to the new exam date and admit card information.

Accessing the Notice

Students can see and download the official notice about the new exam date from the NTA’s website. The NTA encourages all students to stay updated through official channels to avoid missing important news.

The National Testing Agency (NTA) is all set to hold the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main Session 1 starting on January 22, 2025. Paper 1 will be conducted on January 22, 23, 24, 28, and 29, while Paper 2 will take place on January 30, 2025.

If you’re taking the exam soon, here are some important tips you should follow:

– Arrive Early: Make sure you reach the exam center at least 2 hours before your exam starts. This way, you won’t miss any important announcements or instructions.

– Take Your Seat: When you enter the exam hall, sit at the seat assigned to you. If you don’t sit in your designated spot, you could be disqualified from the exam.

– Bring Your Documents: You must bring your printed JEE Main admit card downloaded from the NTA website, along with a valid photo ID (like a driver’s license or school ID). Without these, you won’t be allowed to take the exam.

– Check Your Paper: Make sure the question paper on your computer matches the subject you registered for. If it doesn’t, tell the invigilator right away!

– Ask for Help: If you need technical help or first aid during the exam, don’t hesitate to ask the invigilator.

What You Should Bring:
– Your printed JEE Main admit card and Self Declaration form.
– One passport-size photo (the same one you uploaded with your application).
– One valid photo ID.
– If you’re claiming a disability (PwD/PwBD), bring your certificate.
– A simple ballpoint pen.

Remember, the JEE Main is for students who want to get into engineering (BE/BTech) or architecture (BArch/BPlanning) courses. Paper 1 will be held in two shifts: from 9 AM to 12 PM and from 3 PM to 6 PM. Paper 2 will take place from 3 PM to 6:30 PM.

The Haryana Board of School Education, located in Bhiwani, has announced that the practical exams for Classes 10 and 12 will take place from February 3 to February 18, 2025. Board Secretary Ajay Chopra shared this news on Monday. The exams will run each day from 9 AM to 2 PM.

For Class 12, a special examiner will be assigned to oversee the practical tests for subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. In other subjects for Class 12, as well as for Class 10, the teachers at the schools will handle the practical exams.

The Board Secretary also mentioned that messages will be sent via SMS to the supervisors and examiners to notify them about their duties. School heads should log in to the Board’s official website, bseh.org.in, to find the exam schedules, instructions, and to upload student marks.

Earlier, the Board released the exam dates: Class 10 exams will start on February 28 and finish on March 19, while Class 12 exams will kick off on February 27 and end on April 2. This year, about 5 lakh students are expected to take the board exams, happening at nearly 1,500 centers across the state. The Board is making special arrangements to ensure everything goes smoothly and fairly during the exams.

The SSC CGL Exam, organized by the Staff Selection Commission, is one of the toughest tests for those who want a job in the government. Every year, thousands of students try to get into prestigious government positions. However, because of fierce competition, many don’t succeed. To do well on the SSC CGL Exam in 2025, it’s crucial not just to study hard but also to avoid common mistakes. Let’s look at five big mistakes you should steer clear of:

1. Ignoring the Exam Pattern and Syllabus: Many students forget to check the latest exam pattern and syllabus. The SSC exam has several parts called tiers, and each one requires different skills. If you don’t know what each paper covers, you might waste time on topics that aren’t even important. For instance, Tier 1 focuses on puzzles in Reasoning, Indian history, and Science in General Awareness, and the number system in Quantitative Aptitude. If you spend too much time on tough math problems that are not included, you’ll just end up frustrated. Always check the past years’ questions and practice a lot!

2. Being Inconsistent with Your Study Schedule: At the start, many students are super excited but then lose interest. It’s important to make a study plan that you can actually stick to. Break your goals into smaller tasks and follow them. Remember to take breaks too; resting is key to staying sharp and focused.

3. Trying to Prepare for Multiple Exams Together: Many candidates think they can study for different government exams at once, like the IBPS, SBI, and RRB. This is a mistake! Each exam is different and needs its own special study plan. For example, the SSC exam requires a lot of focus on math and general knowledge, while banking exams focus more on data interpretation. Concentrate on one exam at a time to do your best.

4. Rushing Through Questions and Instructions: In the exam room, students often rush to finish quickly and fail to read questions properly. For example, a question might ask, “Find the incorrect statement,” but if you read it wrong, you might look for the correct one instead! Take your time to read and understand each question carefully before answering.

5. Not Keeping Up with SSC Updates: Another mistake students make is not checking official SSC notifications. Missing updates can mean losing important information about exam dates or changes in the syllabus. For example, if a section suddenly has more weightage and you didn’t know, you might not do as well as you could. Always check the official SSC website or trusted apps for the latest info!

By avoiding these common mistakes, you’ll be better prepared to crush the SSC CGL 2025 exam and move one step closer to your dream job in public service!

The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has shared the results for the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) held in December 2024. You can find the results at natboard.edu.in. The exam took place on January 12, 2025, and is a test that allows foreign doctors to practice medicine in India.

Individual scorecards will be ready for download on or after January 27. Note that these scorecards cannot be used for state medical council registrations. If the board discovers any issues with a candidate’s eligibility later on, they might cancel that candidate’s results.

Currently, the results of seven candidates are on hold due to further investigations, which might involve ethical reviews or legal matters.

The exam had 300 multiple-choice questions divided into two parts, with each part containing 150 questions. Each part lasted 150 minutes, and candidates could not lose points for incorrect answers. To pass, candidates need to score at least 150 marks.

On January 18, 2025, the FORE School of Management held its 29th Convocation Ceremony at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi to celebrate the graduation of students from the Batch of 2022-2024. A total of 370 students received their diplomas in different programs, including PGDM (Batch 31), PGDM – International Business (Batch 16), PGDM – Financial Management (Batch 05), and PGDM – Big Data Analytics (Batch 03).

The event featured special guests, including Swarup Mohanty, Vice Chairman & CEO of Mirae Asset Investment Managers, as the chief guest, and Neena Goel, Managing Director at HSBC, as the Guest of Honor. These distinguished alumni inspired the graduates with their words.

Awarded for their academic success, students received special honors. Anish Goel won the Chairman Gold Medal for Outstanding Scholastic Performance and was recognized as the Best Graduating Student for having the highest CGPA across all programs.

Dr. B.B.L. Madhukar, Chairman of FORE School, shared his pride in the graduates and emphasized the school’s commitment to helping students grow and succeed. Dr. Subir Verma, the Director, added that it’s fulfilling to see the hard work of students pay off at such an important event.

In his speech, Swarup Mohanty talked about the importance of investing in the future by valuing qualities like humility and integrity. He stressed the need for everyone, both students and professionals, to follow ethical practices and rules. Neena Goel also highlighted that honesty and following regulations are essential for building a good career and keeping trust in their industries

The Uttarakhand Waqf Board has opened a new, modern madrasa called the Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Modern Madrasa in Dehradun. This madrasa will provide students with a mix of general education and religious studies, starting in March. It was built with around ₹50 lakh and is located in the Muslim Colony near the railway station.

This madrasa is different from around 10 others in the area. It has nice classrooms, furniture, computers, and smart boards. Students from nearby madrasas will come here for better education. The board wants to upgrade 8 to 10 madrasas in the state by the end of this year, merging smaller ones into a central one with better facilities. This way, they can manage things more easily and use empty land to earn more money.

Students will study from the NCERT syllabus in the morning, which includes subjects like science and math. In the evenings, they will learn religious topics, including the Quran and teachings of Prophet Muhammad, or even stories from Lord Ram, depending on what they choose. The chairman wants to create a fair and beautiful India where all kids have equal chances to learn and succeed.

The Waqf Board will provide free education, uniforms, and books. For the first time, an ex-soldier will be hired as a physical education teacher to keep students healthy and teach them patriotism. They will also hire teachers for Sanskrit classes.

Out of 419 madrasas registered in Uttarakhand, the Waqf Board currently runs 117. They believe having fewer madrasas with high-quality education is better. Some people in the Muslim community want the Waqf Board to call these schools “schools” instead of “madrasas.” Discussions are taking place with Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami to bring all madrasas under the Waqf Board’s management for more uniformity.

Researchers at the National Institute of Technology Rourkela (NIT Rourkela) have created a new type of material for the batteries that power our smartphones, laptops, and electric cars. This new material replaces cobalt, a metal that’s expensive and hard to find, with cheaper and more environmentally friendly options like magnesium and nickel.

Dr. Partha Saha, who led the team of researchers, said their new battery materials allow for better movement of lithium, which helps the battery work better overall. This means the batteries will last longer, hold more energy, and stay stable over time. After 100 charge and discharge cycles, their new batteries still kept 74.3% of their energy, which is much better than traditional batteries made with cobalt.

Cobalt has many problems, including its high cost, unreliable supply from countries like Cuba and Madagascar, and serious concerns about how it affects the environment. The team at NIT Rourkela’s innovation could change the future of batteries, making them cleaner and more affordable.

This exciting research was made possible with help from the Department of Science and Technology and involved the Department of Physics and Astronomy at NIT Rourkela. For more details, check their official website
