Delhi University UG admissions: second phase starts next week
Delhi University (DU) will start the second phase of the admission process on the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) portal over the coming week. The university made the announcement on Thursday, a day before the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) results were announced. In the first phase, applicants have to register on the portal. In the second phase, candidates can mark their preferences for colleges and programmes on the CSAS dashboard. The first phase of the admission process, which started on June 17, is still under way, said an official, adding that the date for the commencement of the subsequent phase has not been decided yet. The university is offering 71,624 undergraduate seats in 69 colleges and departments. It has earmarked a total of 1,347 seats under the extracurricular activities (ECA) quota, which has been divided into 14 categories — creative writing (English and Hindi), debate (English and Hindi), digital media (photography, film-making, animation), divinity, fine arts (sketching, painting, sculpture), music - vocals (Indian and western), music - instrumental (Indian and western), dance (Indian classical, Indian folk, western, choreography), theatre, quiz, National Cadet Corps, National Service Scheme, and yoga. 'All prospective applicants are advised to start applying for CSAS Phase-I, if not done so far. Candidates are also advised to start preparing their list of preferred 'Programs and Colleges' in advance,' read the university notification. It advised applicants to monitor the online admission portal for updates and urged them to 'take informed decisions and avoid any mistakes while filling their choices in the CSAS Phase-II as soon as it is launched'. Last year, the admission process was delayed by nearly a month and the academic session began on August 29 due to the late declaration of the CUET results by the National Testing Agency. This year, DU has announced that it plans to start the academic session on August 1. Hence, the second phase is unlikely to last for more than a week. The process During the second phase, which begins every year after the declaration of CUET results, candidates must log in to their dashboard and map subjects by selecting those they studied or those similar to the ones they studied in Class 12. Completing this process allows candidates to view the programmes for which they are eligible. Following this, they can mark their preferred course and college combinations in order of preference on the CSAS portal. This is the most crucial step, say university officials, as the order of preference will determine their chances during the allocation of seats. Before the first round of seat allocation, DU will issue simulated ranks to help students gauge the probability of their allocation to a particular programme, giving them another chance to revise and reorder their preferences. 'Auto-upgrade' option The candidates are then allocated the best possible option based on their preferences, merit, availability of seats, and category. Once the seat is allocated, the candidate will have to accept the allocation in order to be considered for upgradation in the subsequent rounds.

Iran To BOMB Netanyahu's ‘SECRET SHELTER'? 3D Map Shows Where Israeli PM ‘HID' During War
Mission Abort- British Royal Navy's F35 Jet May Be Disassembled, Flown Out of Kerala Like a Parcel A $110 million F‑35B Lightning stealth fighter jet of the UK's Royal Navy remains grounded in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, after it made an emergency landing on June 14 during a sortie over the Indian Ocean. Diverted due to bad weather and later struck by a technical fault, the jet couldn't return to the HMS Prince of Wales, its carrier. Now, a 40-member British aviation engineering team is expected to land in Kerala on July 5 to conduct repairs. Originally scheduled to arrive on July 2, their arrival was delayed for unspecified reasons. The aircraft has since been moved to the Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility at the airport. Guarded 24x7 by RAF officers, the fighter remains under UK control. The British High Commission thanked India for its cooperation, while Defence Minister Luke Pollard praised India's support and the RAF's oversight.#kerala #thiruvananthapuramairport #f35 #britishroyalnavy #c17globemaster #f35kerala #strandedfighterjet #ukindiamilitary #rafjetindia #f35repairteam #thiruvananthapuram #lockheedmartin #hmsprinceofwales #c17airlift #defencediplomacy #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews 1.1K views | 6 hours ago

After protests, Uttarakhand Pollution Control Board orders closure of incinerator in eco-sensitive zone near Gangotri
Days after Gangotri residents protested against its establishment, the Uttarakhand's State Pollution Control Board has ordered the closure of an incinerator set up by the state tourism department in the eco-sensitive zone. The unit was found to have violated the provisions under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, and for operating in the Bhagirathi Eco Sensitive Zone without obtaining a consent to operate. It was also found that it had no proper monitoring facilities, a logbook of operations, or a disposal of waste generated from the process, said the Uttarakhand Pollution Control Body. The residents, part of the collective Himalayi Nagarik Drishti Manch, had written to authorities, stating that the incinerator was burning mixed solid waste disposed of in the area, causing emissions. Such units are required to obtain a Consent to Establish and Consent to Operate certificate from the State Pollution Control Board, and they are mandated to keep their effluent quality within the specified norms as specified under the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986. The Gangotri unit processes one tonne of solid waste every day. Moreover, the unit was set up in the Bhagirathi Eco Sensitive Zone, an area in which every activity is monitored and regulated by a committee under the chairmanship of the Chief Secretary of the state. The incinerator was permitted by the committee last year and was set up by the Ministry of Tourism under the PRASAD Scheme (Pilgrimage Rejuvenation and Spiritual Augmentation Drive). Officials from the state and Central Pollution Control Body visited the facility on June 24 and found that the Uttarkashi District Tourism Development Officer had not obtained a Consolidated Consent and Authorisation (CCA) under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and authorisation under the Hazardous and other wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016. Though the unit representative said that it processes one tonne of solid waste every day, they could not provide a logbook record. Similarly, the unit representative said the ash generation is negligible and it is kept on the premises, but there was no record of the ash generation, the pollution control body said. The unit also did not maintain records for plastic waste collection. The pollution control bodies also recommended that the facility obtain necessary permissions, including a Consent to Operate from the UKPCB. Following a letter from residents of Uttarkashi to authorities regarding the operation of the unit at Bhagirathi Eco Sensitive Zone, the Uttarkashi DM had said that the unit is a zero-emission system with a solar-powered furnace and operates through a programmed oxygenation plasma technology. He also said that the waste is processed without any combustion or involvement of water or other moving parts. However, according to CPCB guidelines, incinerators have a pollution index of 100 and fall under the red category. Aiswarya Raj is a correspondent with The Indian Express who covers South Haryana.
