Are you looking to start your career? An internship is a great way to learn new skills and meet people. If you want to intern in the United States, you will need a J-1 Intern Visa. Harvard University has all the information you need to get started!

What is a J-1 Intern Visa?

The J-1 Intern Visa is for students who want to do internships in the U.S. This visa helps students learn about American culture and gain real work experience in their fields.

Who Can Get a J-1 Intern Visa?

Here’s what you need to be eligible:
– You must be a student at a school outside the U.S.
– You should be doing well in your studies.
– Your internship should help with your degree.
– You can do an internship for up to 12 months.
– You should be able to speak English well enough to work.

A teaching union is asking its members in sixth form colleges to vote on whether to strike for better pay. The NASUWT union wants a fair pay raise for sixth form teachers for the year 2024/25. This comes after another union, the National Education Union (NEU), held protests for better pay in colleges that are not academies.

The UK Government announced in July that teachers in regular schools will get a 5.5% pay raise this school year. The Sixth Form Colleges Association (SFCA) said teachers at non-academy colleges will get a 3.5% raise from September 2024 to April 2025, while teachers at academy colleges will receive 5.5% starting in September 2024—seven months sooner than their peers.

The NASUWT union believes this pay difference is unfair and should not be accepted. They are currently running a vote that will close on February 10, where members can decide if they want to take action.

Patrick Roach, the NASUWT general secretary, stated, “For over ten years, sixth form college teachers have faced pay cuts. Now, they are starting the school year without a pay hike like their school teacher colleagues.”

He criticized the SFCA for its decision to pay non-academy teachers less than the academy teachers when they do the same job. Last week, the SFCA stopped a legal case against the government after it agreed to provide funds for college teacher pay raises. The government committed £50 million to support pay increases for sixth form and further education colleges for 2024/25.

However, the fight for fair pay is still not over. The NEU and the government are still in discussion, and now the NASUWT members might also join in on taking action. Roach added, “We will not accept unfair treatment and want all sixth form teachers to get the same pay raise of 5.5%, no matter where they work.”

In a big win for the police, the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) arrested two men who were caught cheating on the Territorial Army General Duty Clerks and Tradesmen Recruitment exam on January 12, 2025. The arrests happened at the Dogra Regiment Center in Ayodhya with help from the Military Intelligence.

The two suspects are 19-year-old Vikas Rai from Varanasi and 30-year-old Sukhnandan Yadav from Betul, Madhya Pradesh. The police found two mobile phones, two exam papers, two admit cards, and two secret devices used for cheating.

Recently, there have been rumors about cheating gangs in Uttar Pradesh working to help people pass exams unfairly. The STF has been watching these gangs for a while. They set up a special team in Ayodhya to gather information and catch the cheaters.

When the STF learned that these men would try to cheat during the exam, they acted quickly. They were caught using electronic devices that helped them get answers during the test. During questioning, the men said they paid a solver gang ₹4 lakh each (about $4,800) to pass. They even made a down payment of ₹40,000 (around $480) before the exam.

The cheating devices were small and easy to hide in their ears. The men were in communication with the solver gang, who were giving them answers remotely. After their arrest, the Ayodhya police started legal actions against them. The police continue to look for other members of the cheating gang and learned about a leader named Satyam Madhesia.

In a similar situation, a man was arrested in Mumbai for cheating during a police recruitment exam by using a hidden electronic device. Authorities became suspicious because he was touching his ear often. When they checked, they found a tiny Bluetooth device inside his ear, which was allowing someone else to tell him the answers.

The Odisha Police Staff Selection Board (SSB) held the computer-based test for Constable and Sepoy positions in December. They released the temporary answer key during the same month, and the results are expected to be out soon.

When the results are announced, candidates can check them at the official website: odishapolice.gov.in. However, the exact date and time for the results are not officially confirmed yet. The SSB Odisha is likely to post a notification about the result date, just like they did for the answer key.

The computer-based test took place from December 7 to December 18 at various centers throughout the state. After releasing the temporary answer key, the SSB invited candidates to challenge any answers until December 30. Candidates had to pay ₹250 for each objection. If their objection was accepted, the fee would be refunded, minus any bank charges.

SSB Odisha will not accept objections sent after the deadline or through offline means. They are also likely to release a final answer key after reviewing the objections.

How to Check the Odisha Police Constable Result 2024:

1. Go to the official website: odishapolice.gov.in
2. Click on the ‘Sepoy/Constable recruitment’ tab.
3. Click on the link for the Computer-Based Test result for Constable positions.
4. Enter the requested login details.
5. Submit and check your result.

In this recruitment, SSB Odisha plans to fill 2,030 Constable/Sepoy vacancies. They initially announced 1,360 vacancies and later added 720 more.

The scores from the test will be adjusted based on a formula used by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for fairness. For the latest updates about the Odisha Police Constable recruitment, candidates should visit the official website regularly.
