Students of Madurai Corporation schools get third place in T.N. achievement survey
Students from Madurai Corporation schools have secured third place in the State-Level Achievement Survey - 2025. With the objective of encouraging children to prepare themselves on understanding skills and comprehensive reading apart from the curricula, the education department officials introduced a series of programmes which would be lively and also help the children to be creative. Recently, the authorities had conducted the survey on students from Classes 3 to 5 and 8 respectively. Though the aptitude level of the students from eighth standard in Madurai Corporation schools stood a little less, the overall reports from other classes were on top in many spheres. Hence, Mayor Indrani Pon Vasanth, Commissioner Chitra Vijayan and the education department officials proposed to strengthen the abilities of the students. Based on the results, the officials had introduced a baseline survey which helps identify the students' aptitude and interests. Be it on current affairs or on general knowledge, science or literature, the dissemination should be in a simple language and understandable to the students. To coach the students, the officials have chosen 10 schools, including middle and high schools, where students from Classes 6 to 8 would benefit in the first phase. In a bid to give an impetus to the programme, the senior officials from Deputy Commissioner to the City Health Officer would visit the 10 campuses on a daily basis and monitor the progress. The overall objective was to prepare the students not just with grades and marks, but to instil in them confidence that they could face challenges as they grew, the officials said.

Over 50% engineering seats still vacant in MP after two rounds of counselling
Indore: Despite two rounds of centralised counselling, more than half of the engineering seats in Madhya Pradesh are remain vacant, with only 32,700 students admitted so far out of a total of 73,525 seats available across the state. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now This amounts to just about 45% occupancy, raising concerns about declining interest in engineering courses or increasing competition from other professional streams. However, directorate of technical education (DTE) claims this year's response is comparatively better, with nearly 10,000 more admissions recorded than at the same stage last year. This is the first time in recent years that DTE began its engineering admissions as early as May. The registrations for the first round began on May 27. The second round of counselling opened for registration between July 5 and 12. The merit list was released on July 17, followed by allotment letters from July 21 to 25. Students were allowed to complete the admission formalities until July 28. Those admitted were eligible for internal branch sliding within their colleges till July 31. The next phase, college level counselling (CLC), will begin on Aug 2 and continue till Aug 5, with admission closing on Aug 6. If seats remain vacant, a second and third CLC round will follow on Aug 7 and Aug 12, respectively. Following the allotment, several students rushed to their assigned colleges to confirm admission. Of the total registrations, 31,372 students applied via JEE (Main) scores, and 8,792 through Class 12 marks. So far, 33,371 candidates have been verified, including 5,869 through e-verification. Despite 376 rejections, 21,957 candidates completed choice filling. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "The admissions have improved over last year and starting the process early alongside Joint Seat Allocation Authority helped," said DTE admissions head NK Sharma. In Indore, 23 engineering colleges are participating in the centralised counselling process, offering over 15,000 seats.

Govt. NEET coaching classes to cover all 13 blocks in Madurai
Following the success of government-offered free NEET coaching classes which have yielded good results, the NEET classes are to be expanded to all the blocks in the district. Madurai district with 13 blocks, from the current academic year, will have a weekly NEET coaching class with all necessary facilities like study materials, daily exercises, personal guidance, among others in all the blocks, said S. Vennila Devi, district coordinator for government-sponsored NEET training. She added, 'Unlike previous years when the teachers would be appointed as volunteers, hereafter, the government school teachers who are willing to take weekly Saturday classes will be given a remuneration.' This would not only encourage more teachers to take up the task but would also help them in self-development, she added. As the programme falls under Naan Mudhalvan scheme, all the necessary study materials, daily and weekly test exercises would be taken care by the School Education Department, Ms. Vennila noted. While the classes were earlier provided in only three centres – Tirumangalam, Othakadai and Melur – in the district, by further decentralising it, more students from remote areas are believed to step up for taking up the classes, she observed. She said that in addition to NEET and JEE coaching, training for eight other competitive exams is to be provided to the students. As Madurai district has already witnessed an improvement in the number of students clearing NEET this year, by further expanding the training, chances of more students taking up the examination and more students clearing it in the upcoming years are high, she noted. In the recent NEET UG counselling, about seven government school students have secured admission in medical colleges under the 7.5% reservation, she pointed. C. Snega, who has secured admission in Madurai Medical College in her third attempt by scoring 487 marks, said that though she took training in private coaching classes, for two years before clearing it, the motivation came from the training offered through the district administration. 'I scored 192 in first attempt, 445 in second attempt and 487 in the final attempt. I did not even think that I would score close to 200 in first attempt, thanks to the one-year coaching provided by the schoolteachers,' she added. As she aims to specialise in cardiology, she said the strong foundation she developed through her training would help her come out with flying colours.
