State to sponsor competitive exam coaching for 300 ST aspirants
1 2 Ranchi: The state govt will sponsor coaching for 300 Scheduled Tribe students who passed their Class X board exams. The initiative, spearheaded by the department of welfare, aims to prepare students for medical and engineering entrance exams such as the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test, Joint Entrance Examination, and other national-level competitive tests. Class X passouts will be enrolled after a merit-based selection process. Once selected, they will be provided with residential facilities and comprehensive coaching support until their Class XII board exams and entrance preparations. Apart from the Jharkhand Academic Council board, students of the Central Board of Secondary Education and Indian Certificate of Secondary Education boards will also be given the opportunity to enrol in coaching. The department has floated a tender to select coaching institutions of national repute. The welfare department will ensure that all students from Scheduled Tribes (ST) have equal access to this opportunity. Officials added that the selected institutes will also be required to offer mock tests, sub-topics, study materials, and personalised mentorship to help students compete at the national level. The tender specifies that only nationally reputed institutes with a proven track record of preparing students for NEET and JEE will be eligible. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Studio & 1 BHK at ACE Nest – Book with ₹5 Lacs Only!

(Declining mental health)" The handwritten note reads: "21 & feeling like a failure. Passed 12th, failed NEET twice because my ignorance in college. Doing BPharma, a course which I never thought of doing if we visit just 1 year back. Preparing for NEET again but I don't that interest or spark now which kept me hooked everytime I used to motivate me work harder to become doctor. Maybe it is because of repeated failures."

It's crazy to know how one single exam can shatter our lives to such an extent. I'm just tired of everything..." The letter has opened up a wider conversation about academic pressure, mental health, and the toll competitive exams take on young students in India.

23 Karnataka candidates qualified for NEET are above 32 years of age; oldest is 52
Bengaluru: Age is just a number for around 23 candidates, who qualified in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) from Karnataka. They are above the age of 32. According to data from Karnataka Examinations Authority, the oldest candidate from the state who became eligible for NEET counselling is 52 years old. Born in 1973, the candidate scored 181 marks. The second oldest candidate is 48 years old and secured 133 marks. The third candidate on the list was born in 1983 and has 288 marks. Interestingly, at least two of these 23 candidates secured 480 marks and are in the All India rank range of 76,000. This could fetch the candidates a general merit seat in medical colleges of the state. There are candidates with 375, 312, and 311 marks. However, curiously, none of these candidates registered for counselling with KEA. This would mean that they are either not interested in taking a seat or are eyeing seats only through Medical Counselling Committee. MCC counselling opens doors to seats in deemed universities.
