Out of 107 students who appeared for the exam, 76 successfully cleared it. Among them was 19-year-old Neel Chintankumar Barot, a partly blind student from Godhra in Panchmahal district, who overcame his disability to pass the exam. Neel suffers from amblyopia with high myopia and corneal opacity, resulting in 60% vision impairment in both eyes. "I have had this condition since birth, and my vision has deteriorated gradually," said Neel, who is currently pursuing his second year of BBA at MS University's Faculty of Commerce. "I have had this condition since my birth. My vision gradually decreases due to this condition," he said. Despite the challenges, Neel adopted innovative methods to prepare for the exam. "I relied on audio content available online and studied from printouts in large fonts prepared by my parents," he said. Neel's father, Chintan Barot, runs a seasonal business, while his mother, Vaishali, supports the family with a home-based snack business. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dubai Properties Offering High ROI to Attract Investors Binghatti Developers FZE Explore Undo Neel credited the faculty and staff at the Baroda chapter of ICAI for their support.

Dhatu platform to make Math learning easy
BENGALURU: The Prayoga Institute of Education Research has launched 'Dhatu', a technology enabled platform for students to make math less intimidating and more accessible. Developed in collaboration with Stanford's Prof Jeffrey Ullman, Dhatu provides customisable MCQ-based self-assessments sourced from the NCERT portions of Class 9-12. 'Unlike conventional MCQs (multiple choice questions), Dhatu not only identifies the wrong answers but also analyses why a student chose a particular option, helping them understand where they went wrong,' said Vallish Herur, managing trustee of Prayoga Institute. 'Our core idea is to focus on conceptual understanding and problem solving which are often ignored in the learning process.' It uses the Root Question Method to guide students through a logical progression of thought. Each question builds on a central 'root' idea, providing choice explanation and feedback, helping learners connect the dots and understand the 'why' behind the concepts. Dhatu involves three levels which involves the introduction of concepts, the intervention and interconnectivity of concepts, and finally how these concepts can be applied in the real world scenario. Offered free of cost, the programme will pilot in the academic year 2025-26 and will be fully rolled out by 2027, with a focus on reaching socially and economically disadvantaged schools and supporting quality math education across diverse communities. The platform was unveiled by Abhay Karandikar, secretary, Department of Science & Technology, Government of India.

Ruckus over BBA entrance results at MSU
Vadodara: A major commotion broke out at MS University's faculty of commerce on Friday as student leaders affiliated with the NSUI staged a protest, demanding the immediate declaration of individual scores for the BBA entrance examination. The protest began when NSUI-affiliated student leaders gathered at the BBA building and submitted a memorandum calling for transparency in the result and admission process. The agitation escalated when the protesters threw fake currency notes at programme officials, alleging corruption. The situation turned chaotic with the arrival of the police, who struggled to contain the protesters as they continued to resist law enforcement efforts. "There were nearly 2,000 students who appeared for the entrance exam, conducted for just 240 seats," said Amar Vaghela, president of NSUI's Vadodara City Unit. "While the university declared seat numbers of 600 shortlisted candidates for the second round, it has failed to release the marks obtained by all students who took the MCQ-based test." Vaghela stressed that students have a fundamental right to know their scores. "The lack of transparency has raised serious concerns and suspicions about irregularities and potential malpractices in the admission process," he added. Responding to the protest, MSU's in-charge vice-chancellor, Professor Dhanesh Patel, who rushed to the scene to defuse tensions, assured students that the university would soon release the individual marks of all candidates who appeared for the examination.
