Maharashtra government officials yet to confirm if FYJC first merit list to be out today
Mumbai: Confusion prevailed till late Wednesday as state officials did not confirm whether or not the first seat allotment list for admission to junior colleges would be released on Thursday.
As reported by TOI on Wednesday, state officials said the FYJC admission software had been updated, but if a "query arose while running it, they would have to declare a fresh date to release the admission list".
On Monday, state issued a Govt Resolution (GR) clarifying that Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, and Other Backward Category reservations will not apply to minority colleges, following which officials allotted seats under the altered seat matrix in minority colleges.
"We are working on a war footing basis to release the list and we hope to do so on Thursday. If not, we will declare a fresh date," said an officer.

SSC exams were held early this year, and the results came sooner than expected — on May 13. But for lakhs of Class 10 students in Maharashtra, that headstart dissolved into a slow wait with govt first trying new centralised admission systems and then wanting to impose new reservations in minority institutes.

Last year, SSC results were announced on May 27, and the first list was released on June 27.
Over 12.7 lakh students took part in this year's Central Admission Process, the state's first fully digital push. But for many, the online system was more of a bottleneck than a bridge. "The website kept crashing," said one parent. "All the benefits of early exams and early results are lost."

CBSE's 2-exam plan ‘rooted in compassion': Principals
Mumbai: From 2026, CBSE class 10 students will sit not for one board exam, but two sets of board exams, if they choose to. The first, in February, will cover all subjects and will be compulsory. The second, in May, will offer students the option to reappear for up to three papers to improve their scores. For many, it's a quiet revolution. A policy rooted in empathy, said school heads, and one that allows students to breathe—perhaps for the first time in board season. "This is a policy that gives students dignity and space," says Avnita Bir, director-principal of RN Podar School. "It reduces the stress of a make-or-break exam and offers flexibility of a second chance. But let's not ignore logistical hurdles—it will be challenging to conduct and evaluate two exams back-to-back..." You Can Also Check: Mumbai AQI | Weather in Mumbai | Bank Holidays in Mumbai | Public Holidays in Mumbai Overall, the move has found support among educators. Educationist Francis Joseph calls it a "well-being" move. "This kind of flexibility was needed yesterday. We must allow our children to experience assessment with less fear and more fairness. I hope state and national boards take note. But I urge parents, especially, to avoid turning both attempts into battlegrounds. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Let this be a cushion, not a crucible." Anjali Bowen, principal of Ryan International School, Kandivli, said: "This change acknowledges what we've always known — that stress erodes learning. By allowing students to retake exams, CBSE is not diluting the rigour—it's deepening the compassion. It gives students more than one moment to shine." As educators, she added, "we were aware of this potential shift, and now that it's officially being implemented, our school and teachers are actively working on integrating this new structure into our academic planning. .." But on ground, teachers already anticipate the ripple effects. A Powai-based teacher said, "We are yet to understand how students will navigate the academic calendar between the two phases. We're waiting for the standard operating procedures to see how feasible it really is." Others said the model isn't entirely new. "It's like old wine in a new bottle," said a principal. "Earlier, students who failed could reappear a few months later. Now, the language has changed—we've taken away the word 'compartment', which carried shame, and replaced it with choice. That matters."

Barapullah Elevated Rd May Open By Dec
New Delhi: With the central empowered committee (CEC) having conducted an inspection recently, Public Works Department minister Parvesh Verma on Wednesday said the remaining civil work of phase III of the Barapullah elevated road project may start soon and the corridor might be opened by Dec. In making for 10 years now, the project was initially stuck due to two land parcels on the Yamuna floodplain that govt had to acquire from private individuals. Officials said there was a final hurdle in the form of 274 trees that fell in the way of the 3.5km elevated road between Sarai Kale Khan on the west of the Yamuna and Mayur Vihar on its east. The permission to fell the trees has been pending with the forest department for over two years now. Verma said the Supreme Court-appointed CEC inspected the project and the trees on June 21. The hearing of the committee is scheduled to take place on June 27 when PWD is hopeful of getting the permission to cut and translocate the trees.

We hope to complete it and open for traffic by Dec this year," Verma said, adding that 690-metre stretches — one measuring 400 metres and another 290 metres — currently remain unbuilt. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The work on the 3.5km-long road, which promised to cut the driving time between east and south Delhi to just 20 minutes, started in 2015. It was initially planned to be built in 30 months, but missed several deadlines due to two small land parcels of 709.9 and 459.2 square metres that took years to be acquired to allow the construction on the 690 metres of the missing link. It was in July last year that the revenue department of Delhi govt announced a land acquisition award to take over 1,169 square metres of land in Nangli Razapur village, paving the way for the construction. However, govt then realised that there was yet another hurdle to be cleared before the construction can begin—felling and transplantation of 274 fully grown trees. While the project was initially estimated to cost Rs 964 crore, it has now reached Rs 1,330 crore. Verma blamed the previous govt for the cost and time escalation of the project. "Delhi paid the price—in both time and taxpayers' money," he said.

‘Bill paid in advance', but thousands reel from acute water shortage in 100x sectors
1 2 Noida: Residents of highrise societies in 100x sectors are facing acute water shortages. Besides being insufficient, the duration of water availability has also decreased to one or one and a half hours over the past couple of months. Residents now plan a protest on June 29. The Apartment Owners Association (AOA) of sectors including 120, 119, and 118, said that they have already paid Rs 29 lakhs due in advance on April 21, for the current FY 2025-26. Rishi Purwar, the acting AOA vice president of Eldeco Aamantran society Sector 119, told TOI that there is a shortage of Ganga water supply. Several power disruptions and powerline repairs contribute to the shortage. You Can Also Check: Noida AQI | Weather in Noida | Bank Holidays in Noida | Public Holidays in Noida He added that since the Authority is dependent on two sources of water supply — the Ganga water and the borewells (groundwater) — most of the time, they don't have enough water to supply to residents/society. "As a result, we end up depending on tankers. The charge of a tanker ranges from Rs 1350 to Rs 1650 per tanker for a 20,000-litre supply," he said. When residents raise complaints with the Authority, they are told that there's no water in the pump house or no water pressure. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 月 *만원대 '실비보험' 최적가 가입추천! "月 보험료 낮추고, 보장은 든든하게"... 굿리치 보험대리점 (등록번호:제2006038313호) 가입하기 Undo Noida Highrise Federation (NHRF) president Nikhil Singhal said that the reasons cited for this short supply also include non-payment of bills to PVVNL, resulting in line disconnection. Speaking of the protest, he said that it will start from Central Market and pass through Pratik Laurel, RG Residency Society Sector 120, and end at the pump house near Eldeco Aamantran Apartments. "It will be attended by residents of all the societies in the area," said Singhal. Pawan Kumar, junior engineer at the pump house, told TOI that there was no supply of Ganga water due to power disruptions early Wednesday. When contacted over the phone, RP Singh, deputy general manager (DGM) of Noida Authority, directed Kumar and RK Joshi, the Ganga water supply area in charge, to ensure adequate supply to the 100x Sectors with immediate effect. Singh further said that under the 37.5 cusec Ganga water plan of Noida Authority, 55,000 kilolitres of water from the Sector 118 UGR will soon feed 7x and 100x Sectors. "The Ganga water supply issue has been lingering for far too long, with assurances that have never translated into absolute action. While high TDS water, which is supplied, is not only a health hazard, the current non-supply situation is also imposing a significant financial burden on Noida's residents. It's ironic that in a city touted as developed, we're struggling with necessities like water. Something needs to change," said Kapil Mehra, secretary, NHRF, 100x sectors.
