First merit list of FYJC admissions finally declared
After a prolonged delay, the first merit list of the First Year Junior College (FYJC) admissions was finally declared on Saturday — 59 per cent of the total applicants for the Common Admission Process (CAP) round 1 have been allotted seats. All these students have until July 7 to confirm their admissions in the allotted seats. In all, 10,66,005 candidates had applied for FYJC admissions under CAP round 1, including 2,31,356 for Arts, 2,24,931 for Commerce and 6,09,718 for Science. Of the total applicants, 6,32,194 have been allotted seats in CAP round 1 — 1,49,791 in Arts, 1,39,602 in Commerce and 3,42,801 in Science. In all, 4,57,841 candidates have been allotted seats in their first college of preference. This includes 1,35,620 allotments in Arts, 82,594 allotments in Commerce and 2,39,627 in Science. As per rules, all these students have to confirm their admissions in their allotted seats. Meanwhile, out of 1,45,225 applications received under the in-house, minority and management quota of junior colleges, 60,487 admissions have been confirmed in round zero, which takes place before CAP round 1. Now, after admissions under CAP round 1 are finalised, the vacancy list for round 2 will be declared on July 9. The FYJC merit list, which was earlier scheduled to be out on June 26, was delayed due to technical snags. The office of deputy director had announced that the list will be out on June 30, but it was declared on Saturday evening. With slight variations, cutoffs of popular city colleges have gone up marginally. For example, at the city's most popular St Xavier's College, cutoff for Arts remained the same as that of last year's – 94.3 per cent. Whereas in Science stream it has gone up from 91.6 per cent to 93. At Ruia College, cutoff for Arts increased marginally from 92.2 per cent to 92.4 whereas in Science it has gone up from 93.4 per cent to 94.4.

Nifty, Bank Nifty Futures signal strong upside as bulls take charge
Nifty 50 and Nifty Bank indices surged 2.1% each last week, supported by strong futures and options (F&O) data that signals sustained bullish sentiment. Nifty 50 Futures Outlook Nifty July futures closed at 25,750, posting a 2.2% weekly gain. This rally was backed by a sharp rise in open interest, which more than doubled to 151 lakh contracts—indicating a fresh long build-up. The July Put-Call Ratio (PCR) stands at 1.20, while the August contract is at 1.30. A PCR above 1 suggests stronger put writing activity, a common sign of bullishness. From a technical standpoint, Nifty July futures broke out above the resistance at 25,400, confirming bullish momentum. The next target is 26,500, and if this level is breached, a further rally to 27,000 is likely. Support Levels: 25,400 (immediate) 25,150 (21-day moving average) Strategy: Continue holding long positions in Nifty July futures with a stop-loss at 25,300. If the contract crosses 26,000, raise the stop-loss to 25,700 and book profits at 26,500. Nifty Bank Futures Outlook Bank Nifty July futures ended at 57,648, also up by 2.1% last week. Open interest jumped fivefold to 23 lakh contracts, confirming strong long positions. PCR readings for July and August are 1.10 and 2.20 respectively—both pointing to a bullish stance. However, the contract is nearing a resistance zone between 57,800 and 58,000. If there's a pullback, 57,000 can act as a buying opportunity before another upward move begins. A breakout above 58,000 can take the contract to 60,000. While 59,000 might be a minor hurdle, the current momentum suggests it could be crossed smoothly. Support Levels: 56,800 (23.6% Fibonacci retracement) 56,300 (next key support) Strategy: Exit the long position (initiated at 56,330) around current levels due to nearby resistance. Re-enter only on: A breakout above 58,000 – Buy with a target of 60,000 and stop-loss at 57,000 A dip to 57,000 – Buy with a stop-loss at 56,300, and same target of 60,000 Options Strategy: Exit the 58,000 Call (bought at ₹397) at current ₹706 levels. Consider buying an at-the-money call again on a breakout above 58,000 or a dip to 57,000. Both indices show bullish setups backed by F&O data, but traders should watch key levels closely for confirmation before entering fresh positions.

Servotech Renewable in focus on Monday as Coeus Fund converts warrants
Shares of Servotech Renewable Power System are expected to remain in the spotlight on Monday following a major equity allotment and expansion of its EV charging infrastructure portfolio. The renewable energy firm has converted 10 lakh warrants into equity shares, issued to Coeus Global Opportunities Fund, further strengthening investor confidence. The company allotted the shares at ₹83.40 per share (₹1 face value + ₹82.40 premium), receiving ₹6.25 crore or 75% of the issue price as upfront payment. This allotment is part of a larger preferential issue of 89 lakh warrants announced in January 2024. With this move, Coeus Global Opportunities Fund doubled its stake in Servotech from 0.44% to 0.88%, now holding 20 lakh shares. Consequently, the company's paid-up capital increased from ₹22.48 crore to ₹22.58 crore. Green Energy and EV Infra Drive Growth Servotech's growth isn't limited to capital infusion. Its subsidiary, Incharz (Servotech EV Infra), recently signed an MoU with Noida Power Company Ltd (NPCL) — a joint venture between the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group and Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority. The deal aims to boost EV charging infrastructure across Greater Noida, targeting corporate campuses, housing societies, commercial spaces, and hospitals. NPCL will assist by recommending strategic locations and liaising with power distribution companies to accelerate setup and reduce costs. Incharz has already installed EV chargers at two residential complexes as part of the initiative. Stock Performance Servotech Renewable has been on a steady upward trajectory: +21% in the past month +19% over the last three months +67% in one year Massive 2,300% gain over three years, making it a multibagger in the smallcap space Despite closing slightly lower at ₹147.50 on Friday (down 0.04%) on the NSE, the stock's fundamentals and long-term prospects remain strong due to its active role in India's green energy transition. Investor Note With increased institutional interest and a strong pipeline in EV infrastructure, Servotech Renewable Power System is likely to draw heightened attention in the coming trading sessions.
