Two road construction agencies to face action: CS
While the progress of work on the Amas-Darbhanga Express highway was found to be unsatisfactory, the work being done by the agency concerned on the Siwan-Mashrakh section of Ram-Janaki Marg was found to be slow, a govt release said.
The PMG meets on the first Wednesday of every month to review the status of the implementation of the central infrastructural projects connected with rail, highways, petroleum and communications and gas connection.
Among the decisions taken at the PMG meeting, the DMs of Vaishali, Samastipur, Darbhanga, Saharsa, Madhepura and Purnia were asked to complete the land acquisition work in the next 100 days with regard to the Patna-Purnia express way. The NHAI said that it would issue the tender for the allotment of the construction work to the selected agency.
Further, the land acquisition work connected with the sections of the Raxaul-Haldia and Siliguri-Gorakhpur highways falling in Bihar would also begin soon.

SEBI Bans Jane Street From Indian Markets, Orders Rs 4,843 Cr Seizure Over Derivatives Probe
Last Updated: The action comes as part of SEBI's ongoing probe into suspected market manipulation by Jane Street through its derivatives trading SEBI India's capital market regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), has barred US-based proprietary trading firm Jane Street Group and its associated entities from participating in the Indian securities market. According to a report by Bloomberg and an official order published on SEBI's website, the firm is prohibited from buying, selling, or dealing in any securities—either directly or indirectly—until further notice. SEBI also directed all banks to freeze withdrawals from accounts linked to Jane Street Group entities. This includes individual and jointly held accounts, unless SEBI provides specific approval for transactions. The action comes as part of SEBI's ongoing probe into suspected market manipulation by Jane Street through its derivatives trading activities. The firm reportedly earned over $2.3 billion in profits from equity derivatives trading in India last year. SEBI's order further states that unlawful gains of Rs 4,843 crore—allegedly earned through manipulative practices—will be impounded. Jane Street entities have been directed to open an escrow account with a scheduled commercial bank in India and deposit the entire amount. Banks where these companies maintain accounts have also been instructed to not allow any debits without the regulator's permission. Additionally, Jane Street Group and its related entities must close or square off all existing positions within three months or by the contract's expiry—whichever comes first. April 2024: SEBI begins initial analysis after media reports highlight a legal dispute involving Jane Street's alleged unauthorized use of proprietary trading strategies in Indian markets. July 23, 2024: SEBI instructs the National Stock Exchange (NSE) to examine Jane Street's trading activity to identify potential market abuse. August 2024: SEBI interacts with Jane Street on August 20, and the firm submits its response on August 30, explaining its trades. November 13, 2024: NSE submits its examination report on Jane Street's trading patterns to SEBI. December 2024: SEBI observes unusual volatility in index options, especially on weekly expiry days. It notes that certain entities, including Jane Street, were running exceptionally large risk positions in cash-equivalent terms in the F&O segment. February 4, 2025: Based on preliminary findings, SEBI believes Jane Street is in violation of Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices (PFUTP) regulations. February 6, 2025: NSE, on SEBI's instructions, issues a caution letter to Jane Street Singapore Pte Ltd and related entities, advising them to refrain from potentially manipulative trading patterns. February 6 & 21, 2025: Jane Street responds to the caution letter, providing justifications for its trading activities. May 15, 2025: Despite the warning, Jane Street continues to operate with very large cash-equivalent positions in index options, leading to further regulatory scrutiny. What Are Cash Equivalents in F&O? In the context of futures and options (F&O), cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid instruments such as treasury bills or money market funds. These assets are often used as collateral for margin requirements, allowing traders to earn returns while actively engaging in derivatives trading.

CUET UG 2025 results to be announced today on cuet.nta.nic.in for over 13 lakh students
CUET UG 2025 scores to guide admissions in 243 universities including DU and JNU CUET UG 2025 results: The results of the Common University Entrance Test for undergraduate admissions (CUET UG) 2025 are expected to be released today on the official website – More than 13 lakh students across India are awaiting their results, which will determine their eligibility for admission to numerous undergraduate courses in over 240 universities. The CUET UG 2025 is a centralised entrance examination conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) to streamline undergraduate admissions across various institutions. This year, 243 universities—including central, state, private, deemed, and other government institutions—will use CUET scores for counselling and admissions. Among the top institutions accepting CUET UG 2025 scores are the University of Delhi, Banaras Hindu University, Jawaharlal Nehru University, and Aligarh Muslim University. CUET UG 2025 to follow normalisation for fairness Due to the large number of applicants, the CUET UG 2025 was held in multiple shifts using different sets of question papers. To ensure fairness, NTA will apply a normalisation method based on percentiles. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Each candidate's performance will be assessed in relation to their peers from the same shift, and all results will be compiled into a common percentile-based ranking. The exam covered 37 subjects, including 13 languages, 23 domain-specific subjects, and one general aptitude test. This marked a significant change from the previous year when students had more flexibility in selecting papers. In CUET UG 2025, candidates were limited to choosing a maximum of five papers, regardless of their Class 12 subject combinations. Exam format revised and cities reduced This year also saw changes in the examination pattern and logistics. All papers were conducted in computer-based test (CBT) mode, with 50 mandatory questions in each paper. The number of exam centres was also reduced from 354 cities last year to 285 cities across India. These adjustments aimed to improve operational efficiency and reduce logistical challenges faced during the examination. Delayed subject papers included in results The final CUET UG 2025 results will include the accountancy/book keeping paper and the Tamil and Urdu language papers, which were initially postponed and later rescheduled by NTA. This ensures that no student is left behind due to administrative delays and that all subject scores are considered in the final rankings. Limited use of CUET scores in certain institutions While CUET UG is being adopted widely, a few institutions continue to use alternative admission methods. For instance, Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) only accepts CUET scores for select undergraduate courses. Programmes such as B.A. (Hons.) Political Science, BBA, and BSc Mathematics at JMI still rely on other entrance examinations or Class 12 results for admission.
