N M College principal Parag Ajagaonkar provided an assessment of the new system's operational aspects, stating that "the new process has gone very smoothly, and they didn't face any technical issues or delays".
At N M College, 90% of FYJC seats have been filled following the first merit list. Ajagaonkar anticipated minimal remaining vacancies beyond the second round, primarily occurring due to students shifting between streams.
Similarly, the vice principal of R A Podar College of Commerce and Economics reported that slightly over 50% of their total admissions have been allotted, with the aim to fill the majority of remaining seats by the second round, expecting few vacancies by the third.
However, the admission pace varies across institutions. Neha Jagtiani, principal of Bandra's National College, indicated a slower fill rate, stating, "We have filled up only 12% of total seats after the first round, and it is too early for us to determine things." She explained that historically, National College reaches near-total enrollment by the fifth or sixth round, with roughly 75% of admissions completed by the end of the third round over the past four to five years.
Registrations for the second merit list are scheduled to commence Thursday and it will be released on July 17.

Mark Zuckerberg meets 24-year-old AI researcher who rejected Meta's $125 million job offer, and then ...
Mark Zuckerberg and Meta's aggressive push to lead the AI race has reportedly led to a recruitment of a 24-year-old AI researcher . According to a report by The New York Times, Matt Deitke initially rejected Meta's $125 million offer, prompting Zuckerberg to meet him personally. After the meeting, Meta sealed the deal with a revised four-year compensation package reportedly worth up to $250 million in stock and cash. Citing two sources familiar with the talks, the New York Times report noted that Deitke preferred to continue with his newly founded startup, Vercept after $125 million was offered to him. Zuckerberg personally reached out to him for a meeting. After their conversation, Meta returned with a revised offer that doubled the original, including a potential $100 million to be paid in the first year alone. The compensation jump was so extraordinary that Deitke consulted with his peers, many of whom ultimately urged him to accept the deal. Who is Matt Deitke and why he is 'in demand' The report says that Deitke is a highly sought-after talent in the AI community. He previously led the development of Molmo – an AI chatbot that can process images, sounds and text – a multi-modal system that aligns with Meta's goals. His work on 3D datasets and embodied AI earned him an Outstanding Paper Award at NeurIPS 2022, a top honour given to only a dozen researchers out of more than 10,000 submissions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Hate Unclear Trade Tips?

The ED has recently filed a money laundering charge sheet. Live Events The court directed the ED to supply a copy of the charge sheet to all proposed accused persons. Special public prosecutor (SPP) Naveen Kumar Matta, along with Mohd. Faizan and special counsel Zoheb Hossain appeared through video conferencing. On July 24, the ED said that it is a Clear and classic case of money laundering. The Proceeds of crime was used to acquire immovable properties, the ED said during preliminary submissions on its prosecution complaint. The ED had also stated that the evidence conclusively established the offence of money laundering, where proceeds of Crime (PoC) are generated, layered, and enjoyed. The ED stated that we have presented the funds flow, property, and statements of witnesses. It is a Clear and classic case of money laundering, the ED added. There is a generation of proceeds of crime. The ED submitted that during the investigation, the source of the proceeds of crime, false statements in the land deal were found, the ED said. It was submitted that Skylight Hospitality purchased land measuring 3 acres and, valued at crores. There were false declarations in the sale deed that Rs 7.5 crore had been paid when no money was paid. It was paid later in order to avoid stamp duty. Key witnesses corroborate this, ED's special counsel submitted. Zoheb Hossain alleged that the first layer of proceeds of crime was generated through Skylight Hospitality, whose 99 per cent shares are held by Vadra. Hossain submitted that Rs 7.50 crore is shown as the price of approximately 3 acres of land purchased by Skylight through a cheque which was never encashed. This land was later sold to DLF for a higher amount. This part is still being scrutinised, the ED said. The Application for a licence was processed in haste without following the procedure, as witnesses stated in their statement. Hossain referred to the statement of the Prosecution witness concerned with the process. Special counsel also referred to the Statment of Satyanand Yajee, Director of Omkareshwar properties. He knowingly assisted in the generation of proceeds of crime. Yajee knowingly assisted the company of Vadra in acquiring of proceeds of crime. The ED said that there was enjoyment of the proceeds of crime till July 2025, till the time of provisional attachment. Money Laundering continues to this day, despite the arguments. It is a continuing activity as long as the person enjoys the PoC The use of PoC continued through the 7 properties, which were purchased using the proceeds of crime. Enjoyment of PoC continued till the properties were attached, the ED said. Hossain further submitted that we have also invoked section 70, as all the companies where PoC has gone are either 98% or 99% owned by Vadra. Therefore, he is vicariously liable also apart from his individual role, the ED said. He was the majority shareholder, beneficial owner, and actual owner, and also served as a director of companies, the ED said. The complaint, filed on July 17, 2025, names 11 individuals and entities as accused, including Vadra, his company M/s Sky Light Hospitality Pvt. Ltd., Satyanand Yajee, and Kewal Singh Virk. The case stems from an FIR registered by Gurugram Police, alleging that Vadra, through his company Sky Light Hospitality, fraudulently purchased 3.53 acres of land in Village Shikohpur, Sector 83, Gurugram, from Onkareshwar Properties Pvt. Ltd. on February 12, 2008. The complaint alleges the use of false declarations in the acquisition and claims that a commercial license was secured for the land using Vadra's personal influence. As part of the ongoing probe under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act ( PMLA ), the ED issued a Provisional Attachment Order on July 16, 2025, attaching 43 immovable properties worth approximately ₹37.64 crore. These properties are reportedly linked to Vadra and his associated entities, including Sky Light Hospitality.

Banks' credit growth to remain low as corporates using other funding sources in low interest rate regime: SBI Report
Credit growth of banks in the country is likely to remain low as corporates continue to opt for alternative methods of funding in the current low-interest rate environment, according to a report by the State Bank of India (SBI). The report noted that corporates tend to avoid bank loans when interest rates are low and instead explore other sources of funding. It stated, "Bank credit to remain low as corporates are using other avenues of funding in low-interest rate regime" 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 The report has analysed data on resource flows over the past eight years and observed that during periods like FY21 and FY22, when interest rates were low, companies typically relied on non-bank sources for raising funds. The same pattern appears to be repeating now. The share of incremental bank credit in total resource flow is expected to fall from 31.3 per cent in FY25 to just 22 per cent by the second quarter of FY26. Live Events Currently, the headline credit growth is at 9.5 per cent as of June 2025, while non-bank resource flows are growing at a much faster pace of 15.6 per cent. Credit to the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector stands out with a higher growth rate of 21.8 per cent. The report expects it to remain muted in FY26. It mentioned that the credit growth by Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) slowed to 9.8 per cent as of July 11, 2025, compared to a robust 14.0 per cent growth in the same period last year. Between April and July this year, bank credit increased by Rs 2.19 lakh crore, showing a year-to-date (YTD) growth of 1.2 per cent. In the same period last year, credit had grown by Rs 3.79 lakh crore or 2.3 per cent YTD. Meanwhile, deposits grew by Rs 7.45 lakh crore (3.3 per cent YTD) in the current year, slightly higher than the Rs 7.01 lakh crore (3.4 per cent YTD) growth seen last year. The report also pointed out a shift in deposit patterns. Higher returns on term deposits have led to greater inflows in these instruments. As a result, the share of savings deposits fell to 29.1 per cent in March 2025 from 30.8 per cent a year ago and 33.0 per cent two years ago. Going forward, the report projects that deposits will grow in the range of 12-13 per cent, while credit growth is expected to be between 10-11 per cent in FY26. (ANI)
