Less applicants in many colleges, RU extends UG admission window
The admission window for UG courses in RU through the Chancellor Portal opened on May 25 and closed on Thursday. The varsity was due to publish the list of selected candidates on June 23. Now, the list will be published on July 3. The number of applications received through the portal for RU's 19 constituent and 17 minority, and the affiliated colleges was 39,300 as on Friday against the normal of 65,000 to 70,000 in the previous years.
The applicants were far less than the average even though RU had included the vocational courses, which have around 7,000 seats, in the admission process.
"The total number of seats to be filled up is around 47,000, including around 40,000 regular and 7,000 vocational courses. While the prominent colleges including St Xavier College Ranchi, Marwari College Ranchi, Doranda College and Ranchi Women's College have no dearth of applicants, those located in rural and the remote areas have witnessed shortages," a RU official told TOI.

Several colleges like the Tanabhagat College in Ghaghra (Gumla), Model Degree College in Bano, Women's College in Simdega and Women's College in Gumla had less than 50 applicants.
Dean Student's Welfare Professor SK Sahu stated, "We opened the Chancellor's Portal after the CBSE and the Indian School Certificate class XII results. The JAC results were declared later on, so we want to give adequate time to its students for filling up the forms. We are hopeful of getting sufficient number of applicants."

'People were screaming, running': Eyewitnesses recall Bangladesh air crash horror; death toll rises to 27
The crash of a Bangladesh Air Force fighter jet into the Milestone School and College campus in Dhaka has left a community devastated, with eyewitnesses describing scenes of fire, panic and heartbreak. At least 27 people, including students and the pilot, were killed and more than 170 injured after the F-7 BGI training jet plummeted into the school on Monday, triggering one of the deadliest aviation accidents in the country's recent history. The aircraft, which took off from the Bangladesh Air Force Base in Kurmitola at 1.06pm local time, suffered a mechanical fault shortly after departure. Despite apparent attempts by the pilot to steer the jet away from densely populated areas, the plane struck a two-storey school building in the Uttara neighbourhood, igniting an inferno. Rescue teams, aided by military and emergency personnel, scrambled to retrieve bodies and rush survivors to hospitals, as parents searched frantically for their missing children. 'I Saw fire and smoke everywhere' Those who witnessed the crash and its aftermath described scenes of chaos and unbearable loss. 'I saw the plane directly hit the building,' said Rezaul Islam, a teacher at the school, speaking to BBC Bangla . His colleague, Masud Tarik, recalled: 'When I looked back, I only saw fire and smoke... by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy the Dip: Top 5 Dividend Stocks with Growth Potential Seeking Alpha Read More Undo There were many guardians and kids here.' Ahmed, a student at the school, told The Guardian : 'I was eating at the school canteen when I suddenly heard a deafening noise. I saw the plane hit the building and then fall onto a smaller structure. It caught fire instantly. People were screaming and running. Flames engulfed many of the younger students.' Another teacher, Mizanur Rahman, believed the pilot was trying to avoid the main school buildings. 'Judging by the trajectory, it looked like the pilot was trying to reach the field behind the buildings – but probably didn't make it.' He said many children were outside as classes were ending. 'There was a massive blast and an inferno swept through the surrounding area, engulfing the children. Some of our teachers and staff are still missing,' he told The Guardian . Grief, panic, and desperate searches The human cost was evident throughout the day. One man wept as he described the loss of his eight-year-old nephew: 'My beloved nephew is in the morgue right now,' he said, as quoted by BBC , his hand on the shoulder of the child's father, who kept asking, 'Where is my son?' A teacher injured in the fire recounted: 'There was no warning. Before we even understood what was happening, there were flames all around. Visibility dropped instantly. All I could see was fire, then smoke.' The teacher suffered burns on both hands, his face and ears scorched. Hospitals were overwhelmed. Bidhan Sarker, head of the burn unit at Dhaka Medical College and Hospital, told Reuters : 'A third-grade student was brought in dead, and three others, aged 12, 14 and 40, were admitted.' At the National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery, eight patients remained in critical condition. Some students rushed to see the aftermath. 'We fought with the crowd and the soldiers to get close to the crash site in our school,' said Estiak Elahi Khan, an eleventh grader. 'What I saw I can't describe... that's terrible.' Rafiqa Taha, a 16-year-old student, watched the horror unfold on TV. 'My God! It's my school,' she said. 'We literally saw skin being torn off.' From her hospital bed, a young girl told Channel 24: 'When we came out, we saw many students who had been charred.' Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed solidarity with Bangladesh, and a national day of mourning was declared.

Online classes enhancing English & science learning
1 2 Prayagraj: Bridging the educational gap between elite convent schools and govt-run council schools, students of Classes 6 to 8 in Prayagraj are now gaining exposure to English and Science, thanks to an initiative launched in collaboration with IIT Madras. This online classroom programme, conducted every day from 1pm to 2pm, aims to enhance students' understanding of English and scientific concepts through structured and engaging sessions. Under the guidance of Vidya Shakti organisation, a fixed timetable has been issued for online classes. On Mondays, students of Class 6 are taught English and Science in two 30-minute sessions each. Similarly, Classes 7 and 8 attend on Tuesdays and Wednesdays respectively, following a rotating weekly schedule. The programme is only accessible to schools equipped with ICT labs, smart boards, smart TVs, or internet facilities. However, to maximise participation, Block Education Officers (BEOs) have been instructed to ensure that as many schools as possible are connected to the initiative. The classes aim not just at textbook learning but also holistic understanding. For instance, during an English session on Friday at the Upper Primary School in Samogar Uruva, students explored the inspirational thoughts of Nelson Mandela, South Africa's first President, who famously described education as the most powerful weapon to change the world. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo In the Science session, the focus was on the classification of materials based on their properties. According to Basic Shiksha Adhikari (BSA) Devvrat Singh, the initiative is currently in its first phase and has already been rolled out in districts such as Kanpur Dehat, Lucknow, Shamli, Sitapur, Ayodhya, Meerut, and Gorakhpur alongside Prayagraj. An agreement was signed with Vidya Shakti for one year. For students unable to attend live sessions due to connectivity issues, the teaching materials are also made available on the institution's YouTube channel. The programme officially began on July 2 and is being hailed as a transformative step for primary education in Uttar Pradesh.
