Accordingly, classes for newly enrolled students in the first semester will begin on July 26. For those in the third and fifth semesters, teaching will begin on July 21. Universities have been asked to finish admissions by July 24. An order by principal secretary, higher education, MP Agarwal said that universities must conduct a one-week induction programme as per UGC guidelines before and after classes from July 26-30. Agarwal directed the registrar of the universities to ensure that NEP 2020 is implemented in all courses except law and medicine. Universities and colleges have been asked to prepare their annual activity calendar in view of the academic calendar and upload it on their website, according to which all the curricular and non-curricular activities will be conducted throughout the year. Directives have been issued to universities to begin evaluation simultaneously with the examinations and finish it within a week after examinations end. Universities must complete non-academic activities without disrupting the teaching work. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo In situations where there are fewer teaching days, universities must conduct extra classes, both offline and online. University examinations will be conducted twice a year, from Nov 11, 2025, to Dec 10, 2025 (Odd semester), and Apr 11, 2026, to May 10, 2026 (Even semester and annual exam). Universities are recommended to make a list of courses available on SWAYAM for minor papers and skill courses. Students can study these courses selected by their universities on SWAYAM for free and appear for examinations. All universities will map the courses online on SWAYAM and upload their list on the website and ensure its credit transfer. Agarwal instructed the universities to close all admissions by July 26. The registrar will be held responsible for any delay in the admissions. If a student is unable to take admission due to pending results for exams like CUET, then the university can permit such students if seats are vacant. The order also said that teachers should conduct the continuous internal evaluation (CIE) of the students along with teaching work. The university will not conduct any kind of mid-term examinations or internal examinations for CIE. Instead of examinations for evaluation, teachers will carry out a comprehensive evaluation of students based on suggestions given by the govt. In addition, the controller of examinations has been asked to ensure transparency in practical examinations, for which all educational institutions will live stream or upload practical examinations on their institution's YouTube channel (to be created in case institutions don't have one). Agarwal suggested that all universities conduct the examination of the odd semester in written, descriptive mode and the examination of the even semester in multiple-choice question (MCQ) mode. This, he said, will ensure the timely completion of examinations and results.

Granite polishing units in Prakasam fear closure
1 2 Vijayawada: Thousands of daily workers in Chimakurthy, a granite town in Prakasam district, are struggling to find work as small and medium-sized granite polishing units face the threat of closure due to the entry of big companies into the polishing segment. These small and medium units, numbering around 200, have been handling a substantial volume of business for the past three to four decades, procuring stocks from granite quarries and selling the polished granite to exporters. The polishing units have been responsible for cutting, polishing, and managing equipment and manpower costs, while quarry owners have made direct profits from exporters. This system allowed exporters to enjoy profit margins without investing in labor and machinery. The middle-segment polishing units have been creating massive employment opportunities for both locals and migrant workers, with approximately two lakh people working in various polishing and cutting units in and around Chimakurthy. Each small polishing unit used to handle around 20,000 cubic meters of stock and purchase about 200 containers of stock from quarry managements, supplying the polished granite to big exporters. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Seniors Qualify For the New 87¢ Generic Viagra - See How Health Alliance by Friday Plans Learn More Undo However, the entry of big corporate firms into the polishing segment has altered the industry's dynamics. Each big firm is handling around 1 to 1.5 lakh cubic meters of stock, equivalent to the stock processed by nearly 15-20 small firms. According to sources, around 20 big companies have started operations in Prakasam district, each with the capacity to process about 1.5 lakh cubic meters of stone. This means that just 20 firms are processing a volume equivalent to that of 200 small companies. The big firms have the capacity to handle even more stock in the future due to their advanced machinery, which requires significantly less manpower. Each big unit is reportedly procuring over 150-200 containers of granite per month, equivalent to the entire stock procured by all the small units combined. The granite quarry owners are also supporting the big firms, reportedly making advance payments of Rs 2-4 crore per month. The small polishing unit owners are struggling to survive, and one owner, Raghunatha Reddy, stated that the entry of big firms with advanced machinery and their influence over quarry managements has crippled the industry. The small units cannot survive unless govt intervenes and provides them with some stock.
