CSIR UGC NET June 2025 Exam Dates: NTA announces test schedule, exam city-slips expected by July 20
As per the latest notification, the CSIR UGC NET 2025 exam will now be conducted on a single day, on July 28, for all five subjects. This change was made following multiple representations from candidates due to a scheduling conflict with the Haryana Teacher Eligibility Test (HTET) 2024, which is also slated for July 26 and 27.
The exam will be conducted in Computer Based Test (CBT) mode across the country. All five subjects listed below will be examined on the same date:
Mathematical Sciences
Earth, Atmospheric, Ocean and Planetary Sciences
Chemical Sciences
Life Sciences
Physical Sciences
The NTA also informed that candidates will receive information about their exam city through the Advance City Intimation Slip, which will be issued 8–10 days before the exam on the official website.

Gujarat scientist in US Developing Tech for effective treatment of brain diseases
Vadodara: A Gujarati scientist, native of Vadodara, is working on a technology that would deliver drugs in a larger quantity inside the brain. Dr Ishan Shah is a key member of the US team that has already got intellectual property (IP) rights for the research. "It's a long process, but this technology will help those suffering from any kind of brain diseases. Currently, only 0.1% of any drug given for brain ailments is able to enter the brain. It is a challenge to deliver the drugs inside the brain, which blocks a major quantity," explained Shah, who works for a private biotech company in Boston. "We are developing antibodies that will increase the quantity of drugs delivered inside the brain from 0.1% to 1%. This will increase the efficacy of drugs. We discovered a protein that captures the drug and puts it inside the brain. Our firm even got IP rights. Such an experiment is being undertaken for the first time," Shah told TOI over the phone from the US. The team's work has also been published by the Royal Society of Chemistry. Shah, 38, was also a member of the team working on an effective drug for Alzheimer's, which currently has no cure. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Launch by L&T – 3 & 4 BHKs Near Viviana L&T Evara Heights Enquire Now Undo "We are trying to find out the reason behind the spike of a certain protein that causes Alzheimer's. If we manage to ascertain the reason and control the accumulation of this protein, we will be able to delay the advancement of Alzheimer's. The drug is already in the trial stage," Shah, a senior scientist, added. He is the only Indian in the team working on this drug. A student of Bright School in Karelibaug, Shah completed his Bachelor's in Pharmacy from A R College of Pharmacy in Vidyanagar in 2009. He then pursued a Master's in Pharmacy at the University of Toledo in Ohio. "I wanted to stay in the field of drug discovery, so I pursued a PhD in pharmaceutical chemistry from the University of Kansas in 2011. Then I shifted to Boston, where I worked with a small firm before joining my current company in 2020," said Shah, who is settled in Boston with his wife, Kinjal.

Ax-4 enters final leg, aboard space station, return any day after July 9
BENGALURU: The Axiom-4 mission (Ax-4) crew, including Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla (Shux), has entered the final stretch of their time aboard the International Space Station (ISS), with their return to Earth anticipated any day after July 9. As of July 8, the crew has completed 13 days in orbit as part of the mission that was planned to last up to 14 days aboard the orbiting lab. While no formal announcement has been made about the undocking schedule, preparations are likely under way for the complex coordination required to bring the team safely back. Returning from space is no simple affair. Multiple factors — including weather at the landing site, spacecraft readiness, and alignment with other station and orbital schedules — must align precisely. Ground teams from Axiom Space, SpaceX , Nasa , and international partners will be monitoring all parameters closely before giving the final 'go' for re-entry. Meanwhile, science has continued uninterrupted. Mission pilot Shux has remained at the centre of several key experiments. Over the past few days, Shux examined cyanobacteria — a type of photosynthetic bacteria that can produce their own food using sunlight — under different conditions aboard the ISS. By comparing strains, scientists hope to understand how spaceflight alters the growth and function of these photosynthetic bacteria. He continued with his muscle loss (myogenesis) study and conducted a microscopy session and collected cell samples to investigate how microgravity accelerates muscle loss, a critical issue for long-duration missions. In another experiment, he deployed culture bags for the 'Space Microalgae' study. These tiny organisms, with their ability to produce food, oxygen, and even biofuels, are being studied as potential life-support tools for future interplanetary journeys. His work extended to redeploying components of the 'Voyager Displays' experiment, focused on how space affects gaze coordination and pointing accuracy — vital for designing future spacecraft interfaces. The rest of the Ax-4 crew has also kept up a packed research schedule. Commander Peggy Whitson has been supporting and guiding the team with her decades of space experience. Among other projects, the crew continued working on the PhotonGrav study, collecting brain activity data using near-infrared spectroscopy. This is part of a broader effort to develop neuroadaptive technologies that could help astronauts interact more intuitively with onboard systems — and could eventually benefit people on Earth with neurological or motor impairments. Mission Specialist Tibor Kapu completed work on 'VITAPRIC', nurturing radish and wheat microgreens that may one day provide astronauts with fresh produce on long-duration missions. He also continued with the 'Fruit Fly DNA Repair' study, which tracks how radiation in space affects genetic material — key for developing safeguards for future human missions beyond low Earth orbit. The crew has participated in several more studies: from the Wireless Acoustics experiment to evaluate wearable sound monitors, to the 'Acquired Equivalence Test' that probes cognitive function in weightlessness. Data has been collected for cardiovascular and balance system changes under the 'Telemetric Health AI' project, aimed at advancing real-time health tracking. As Earth awaits their return, the Ax-4 astronauts remain focused. Each hour in orbit is still being put to use — ensuring that when they do return, they bring back not just stories and photographs, but data that may aid in shaping the future of human spaceflight.

IIT-K programme promotes women pursuing careers in computing
Kanpur: The 7th edition of Association for Computing Machinery India Council on Women in Computing (ACM-W) Grad Cohort for Women in Research, a flagship mentoring initiative, was held in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur between 6–7 July. This event was dedicated to supporting, empowering women graduate students across India pursuing careers in computing and related disciplines. Modeled after the CRA-WP Grad Cohort in the USA, the Indian edition was launched in 2018 to offer a platform for mentorship, guidance, and professional growth. The 2025 edition featured inspiring talks, mentoring sessions, and workshops to foster a nurturing environment for aspiring researchers. Prof Maya Ramanath from IIT Delhi gave valuable insights into navigating a career in research — from starting a doctoral programme to progressing into postdoctoral research and eventually becoming a faculty member. Dr Renuka Sindhgatta from IBM IRL and Prof Urbi Chatterjee from IIT Kanpur spoke on how to conduct systematic research, drawing distinctions between research in industry and academia. Dr Vini Kanvar from IBM IRL and Prof Priyanka Bagade from IIT Kanpur presented their perspectives on opportunities after a PhD for women in industry and academia. The attendees also got a wonderful opportunity to hear about quantum computing from eminent researchers who have been working in this field for quite some time.
