Students who have been allotted their first choice college must confirm their admissions as they will not be allowed to take part in further CAP rounds.
Previously, 60,487 students were allotted colleges under quota admissions out of a total of 1,45,225 applicants. This includes three quotas, namely management quota, minority quota, and in-house quota. Accordingly, 6,92,681 have been allotted admissions in the quota round and CAP round combined.

It came amid a surging pigeon population in BMC ..... ,...@narendramodi @Dev_Fadnavis @ Tanvi Jain (@TanviSolanki_) August 2, 2025 However, the order has fallen foul of animal lovers and Mumbai's influential Gujarati and Jain community, which considers pigeon feeding auspicious. This has stirred pigeon politics in India's financial LOVE WITH PIGEON FEEDINGFor this, it is important to understand the history of kabutarkhanas and its ties to culture of feeding pigeons is believed to have started by Gujarati and Jain businessmen in Mumbai, leading to the development of kabutarkhanas in major corners of the city. They considered it to be an act of piety and believed it would bring blessings from fact, in Jainism, feeding pigeons is one of the central tenets of its ethics. For decades, it has been the culture of many Jain families to feed pigeons near temples or trust-run feeding the past month, over 50 such feeding spots have been closed. The iconic Dadar kabutarkhana was one such feeding last week, the BMC erected a bamboo structure on the spot to prevent the feeding of pigeons. It kicked off a massive protest by the Jain community. People feed pigeons as they visit the Gateway of India in Mumbai (AFP) PROTESTS AND 1ST CRIMINAL CASEOn Sunday, over a thousand activists, animal lovers and Jain spiritual leaders hit the streets from Colaba to the Gateway of India to protest the ban on feeding monk, Nareshchandra Ji Maharaj, went so far as to announce a fast-unto-death unless feeding of pigeons was allowed to resume. Activists have claimed that hundreds of pigeons have died of starvation in Mumbai in the past few a ban was always in place, it was never legally enforced. No political party wanted to upset the influential Gujarati community and the Jains, who form a large part of the city's was only on August 3 this year that the first criminal case for feeding pigeons in public space was registered by Mumbai POLITICSThe issue has also taken a political hue, with Maharashtra minister and BJP MLA Mangal Prabhat Lodha shooting off a letter to the municipal commissioner of Mumbai, expressing concern over the demolition of his letter, Lodha questioned whether feeding of pigeons alone was responsible for the health issues and sought the formation of a court-monitored panel to suggest sustainable solutions."Following the decision to restrict pigeon feeding, there have also been numerous instances of pigeons suffering from starvation. This has resulted in pigeons dying on the roads, thereby creating another public health hazard," Lodha pointed issue also reverberated in the Maharashtra legislative council last month after one of the members cited a death in the family due to a lung disease linked with pigeon HAZARDS AND ECOLOGICAL CONCERNSIn fact, public health hazard was the major reason cited by the Bombay High Court behind its crackdown a vast city like Mumbai, pigeons largely survive on food provided by people rather than natural sources. The more they are fed, the more they reproduce, a PETA study has feeding pigeons is a harmless act, what leaves an indelible mark is its health concerns and ecological studies have found that pigeon droppings and feathers carry harmful pathogens, including viruses, that can cause long-term respiratory issues, like hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Public health hazard from pigeon droppings was the major reason cited by the court behind its crackdown order (AFP) The lung disease is caused by prolonged exposure to fungal spores found in dried pigeon droppings. This is mostly seen in congested areas. Another disease linked with pigeons is cryptococcosis, an infection that can cause neurological effects go beyond health hazards. For long, several Mumbai residents have complained of the nuisance pigeons create at bus stops and the stench their droppings leave in stretches near feeding spots.A few years ago, a BMC engineer died after being thrown off his bike on allegedly being struck by a droppings, which are highly acidic, act as a catalyst in causing damage to historical landmarks and public infrastructure. A case in point is the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj acidic excreta has also been found to corrode stone facades of protected monuments, leading to added maintenance the city's love-hate relationship with pigeons continues, it remains to be seen how the issue plays out in coming weeks.- Ends

BMC covers Dadar kabutarkhana with plastic, after first attempt foiled
MUMBAI: Police on Saturday held back restless crowds as civic workers pulled large plastic sheets across the Dadar kabutarkhana, to comply with a court order following a ban on feeding pigeons at kabutarkhanas across the city. Mumbai, India. Aug 02, 2025: BMC took action against the Dadar Kabutrakhana following a Bombay High Court order. They covered the Kabutarkhana with a shed and cut the power supply. Mumbai, India. Aug 02, 2025. (Photo by Raju Shinde/HT Photo) (Raju Shinde) Civic workers, who arrived at the site at 7pm, hoisted bamboos around the heritage structure and began draping it in plastic to enforce the ban. Work continued till late on Saturday night. The Maharashtra government had on July 4 instructed the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to implement its ban on feeding pigeons. It said this causes the birds to congregate in public in large numbers, their droppings posing serious health risks. Local communities have, however, opposed the ban, saying that pigeon feeding is a cultural and religious tradition, serving as an act of compassion and charity. Bird lovers too have moved court against the ban. In an order on July 31, the Bombay High Court directed the BMC to take strict action against citizens who continue to feed pigeons despite the ban. It also permitted the BMC to cover the kabutarkhanas, to prevent the birds from assembling at these places. Saturday's move by the BMC follows a failed attempt on Friday, when civic workers arrived here at 11pm. They were caught off-guard when, despite the late hour, citizens associated with the Dadar Kabutarkhana Trust and Shri Shantinath Bhagwan Shwetambar Jain Temple, located opposite the kabutarkhana, came out on the streets in large numbers. 'The BMC came at night, without warning us,' said Sandeep Doshi, a trustee of the Dadar kabutarkhana. 'People got angry and more than a thousand people came out to stop them. The BMC was unable to produce the court order.' Police dispersed the crowd after a minor skirmish, which forced the civic workers to retreat. 'The trusts gave us written assurances that they would clear some parts of the kabutarkhana and allow us to cover it on Saturday, and so we returned,' said a civic officer with the G North ward. 'With no food and water, the pigeons are growing weak and falling sick. They're squatting out on the road and being killed by vehicles. This is inhumane,' said Doshi. The Jain temple had appointed five persons to stand guard around the kabutarkhana all day on Saturday, to drive away pigeons from the road, so that they wouldn't be harmed. One of them, Dinesh Gulwe, a homeless man, said, 'They are paying us ₹800 to stand here from 7am till 7pm, along with food. I hope this act of goodwill will do me some good.' Meanwhile, the BMC fined five to six people ₹500 each for feeding pigeons at the Dadar kabutarkhana on Saturday. A total of 16 people have been fined at this spot till July 15. Meanwhile, the Mahim police registered the first offence against unknown persons for pigeon-feeding at the kabutarkana at L J Road in Mahim. It was registered on Friday when the feeders arrived on a bike. The offence has been registered under sections 223 (disobedience to order promulgated by public servant), 270 (public nuisance) and 271 (negligent act likely to spread infection of dangerous disease) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
