Maharashtra education dept explores dedicated CET centres for convenience of students

Time of India2 days ago
Pune: The department of higher and technical education may set up dedicated exam centres to conduct the state Common Entrance Test (CET) for professional, technical, medical, and agricultural courses.
It has also decided not to conduct exams in centres outside the state from next year. The CET cell conducts 19 different exams for courses at centres across the state.
The MHT-CET exams receive the highest registrations and are conducted at approximately 180 centres statewide. Since the CET cell does not have its own centres, it rents facilities from coaching classes and computer training centres.

This, sometimes, leads to technical issues and inconveniences for students.
Consequently, the CET cell is assessing the number of students at each centre within the state.
The move is also to prepare for the possibility of conducting the CET twice a year. An official from the department said that they are currently assessing student numbers at each centre.
"Often, students from one district do not get their first-choice centre and are instead assigned to a distant one in another district. The department is studying such cases to determine how many centres are needed in each district and what technical requirements should be included," a senior official from the department said.

The state govt has also been considering the possibility of holding major CETs, for admissions to engineering, pharmacy, and agricultural courses, at least twice a year.
With the computer-based test spanning multiple days and large volume of students taking CETs, the higher and technical education department will need to study the feasibility of conducting the exercise more than once every year.
The idea is to give students an opportunity to improve their scores. A govt representative said that there is too much reliance on a single-day test which can be unfair for various reasons. A student could be unwell, under pressure, or face an unexpected issue that day.

Water contamination in Janakpuri: NGT asks CPCB to collect fresh samples

New Delhi: After Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) once again found faecal coliform and E. coli in water samples collected from five houses in Janakpuri's A Block, National Green Tribunal pulled up Delhi Jal Board for not taking remedial measures. The tribunal has asked CPCB to collect fresh samples after the local residents claimed that a report from a private laboratory showed a high level of water contamination. The tribunal is hearing a plea based on the grievance of the residents welfare association in A1 Block, Janakpuri, who claimed that they are not receiving fresh drinking water that meets the requisite norms. The tribunal, in an order dated July 16, observed that the report of CPCB clearly reflected that a high level of total coliform and E. coli was detected in five samples. "At this stage, it would be worth noting that the tribunal in the previous proceedings dated May 30 took note of the fact that the original application was pending for the last three months and the issue relating to the supply of sewage-mixed water was not remediated by DJB. The tribunal also recorded the statement of the chief engineer, DJB, for giving an undertaking within three days in the form of an affidavit that the problem will be remediated and none of the residents will get the supply of water having faecal coliform and E. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Hear better, live easier Amplifon Book Now Undo coli," said the bench headed by Justice Prakash Shrivastava.

Let this also be examined by DJB," said NGT.

He escaped a train wreck, a plane crash, a cliff fall and more, then won the lottery: The unbelievable life of Frano Selak

Frano Selak , a mild-mannered Croatian music teacher , never dreamt that his name would one day be whispered in awe across continents. Born in 1929 in a quiet corner of Croatia, Selak's life didn't begin with drama. But as fate would have it, his ordinary existence transformed into a bizarre series of brushes with death—each more unbelievable than the last. The first stroke of fate hit in 1962 when a train he was travelling in derailed and plunged into an icy river canyon. Seventeen passengers drowned, but Selak survived with a broken arm and hypothermia. The world might have already called that a miracle, but fate had only begun its strange game.

Mid-air, the plane's door malfunctioned and blew open. In a terrifying twist, Selak was ejected from the aircraft. Miraculously, he landed in a haystack—alive—while the plane crashed, killing 19 people. According to Ripley's Believe It or Not , this was just the beginning of his incredible saga. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play this game for 1 minute and see why everyone is addicted. Undo In 1966, a bus he was travelling in careened off the road and into a river. Four lives were lost, but not Selak's. Once again, he swam to shore. By this point, his resilience seemed supernatural. — alphabravo1947 (@alphabravo1947) Fire, Flames, and Fortune The next decade brought fresh threats, this time on wheels. In 1970, his car engine caught fire while he was driving. He escaped just before it exploded. Three years later, another car spat flames through its air vents due to a malfunctioning fuel pump. He lost his hair but not his life. By 1995, Selak had survived five major accidents. But destiny wasn't done. That year, a city bus hit him in Zagreb. He walked away. The following year, while swerving to avoid a UN truck, his car plunged off a cliff. Selak, unbelted, was thrown from the vehicle and managed to grab a tree branch. Below him, his car exploded 300 feet down. Once again, he lived. From Cursed to Blessed After what many would call a cursed life, Selak's fate took an unexpected turn. In 2003, just two days after his 73rd birthday, he won €900,000 in the lottery. He bought a house, a boat, and married for the fifth time. But in 2010, he gave away most of his fortune to family and chose to return to a simpler life. While Selak's tales have not been independently verified and some details remain inconsistent, his legend endures. He passed away in 2016 at the age of 87, but his story continues to intrigue and inspire. A Life Too Strange for Fiction Was Frano Selak truly the world's luckiest man—or simply the most accident-prone with divine protection? Perhaps he was both. His life raises the age-old question: is it luck to have faced death so often, or to have survived it every single time? Whether fact, fiction, or a bit of both, Selak's extraordinary tale remains one of the most sensational and emotionally charged human stories of survival the world has ever known.
