Guwahati: Kanishka Chakraborty, who relocated to Guwahati from Kolkata after his father's transfer two years ago, secured the top position in JEE Advanced from the IIT-Guwahati zone, encompassing the northeast, north Bengal, and parts of Bihar.
He is originally from the Hoogly district of West Bengal.
From the IIT Guwahati zone, 2,743 candidates successfully passed the prestigious entrance examination, based on which students get admission in IITs. The JEE Advanced results was declared on Monday morning.
Securing rank 161 in the Common Rank List (CRL), Kanishka stands as the sole candidate from the IIT-Guwahati zone within the top 400 qualifiers of JEE Advanced in the country.
The zone has three successful candidates in the top 500.
Speaking to TOI, Kanishka expressed satisfaction with his rank, believing it to be sufficient for securing a dual degree in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at IIT Delhi. "I am satisfied. Getting two degrees in five years is going to be something special for me. Then my target is to venture into the corporate world," Kanishka said. He expressed interest in joining the stock market or trading companies, noting his fascination with these sectors due to their mathematical complexity and knowledge requirements.
Regarding his examination preparation, Kanishka detailed his approach: "Firstly, I focused on NCERT textbooks by thoroughly reading each and every chapter. After giving many mock tests, I used to analyse each and every paper and subject thoroughly. Then I analysed my weaknesses and strengths very carefully, which helped me in developing a strong understanding of which topics I am weak in. I focused on those weaknesses and built my confidence in all three subjects.
"
Succeeding in his very first attempt at JEE Advanced, Kanishka attributed his success to two years of dedicated studies.
Though Kanishka said he could not indulge in recreational activities throughout the day, he never missed doing yoga at home daily. Despite his rigorous study schedule, he maintained a daily 45-minute yoga practice, even during exams. "Every day, for 45 minutes I do yoga, even during exams I did the same."
Kanishka started preparing for JEE Advanced from Class XI, and this year he passed his class XII board examination. "I was confident that I would clear JEE Mains and will definitely attempt JEE Advanced," he added.
His father serves in the railways, and his family originates from Uttarpara in Hoogly district.After completing his matriculation from Kolkata, Kanishka enrolled in a senior secondary school in Guwahati.

After Operation Sindoor, Bhutto turns into a boor, calls Modi a cheap version of Netanyahu
The TOI correspondent from Washington: An indirect war of words erupted between Indian and Pakistani delegations on Wednesday as they arrived separately in the US capital to present their respective versions of the Pahalgam terrorist attack, Operation Sindoor , and the Kashmir issue , and the growing rift between the two nations. The spat was triggered by gratuitous remarks by Bilawal Bhutto, leader of the Pakistani delegation, who at a press conference at the United Nations in New York, likened Prime Minister Narendra Modi to a "Temu version of (Benjamin) Netanyahu...a poor copy" as he sought to draw parallels between India's punitive response to Pahalgal and Israeli actions in Gaza. Temu is a Chinese ecommerce website/app that sells discounted merchandize. The Indian delegation wasted no time smacking back. "Pakistan is a country that is surviving with inferior products borrowed from China, including military hardware. It must be hurting to see authentic, high-caliber military hardware and also strong democratic leadership on the other side of the border," clapped back Tejasvi Surya, a member of the Indian team, as it arrived in Washington DC and began meetings with US lawmakers, think-tanks, and social media influencers. "A country that is busy creating fake heroes, by promoting failed Generals, will never know what true leaders look like," Surya added. Shashi Tharoor, leader of the Indian delegation, appeared to have anticipated the clash, almost with a sense of relish, noting as the team arrived in Washington DC that the Pakistanis would also be there at the same time "so there's going to be perhaps an increase in interest because there are two duelling delegations in the same city." But Bhutto was down for the count even before got to Washington when he was ambushed at the UN as he tried to enlist sympathetic journalists with planted questions aimed at amplifying Pakistan's narrative about India's treatment of Muslims. Embarrassingly for him, a reporter called him out saying he had watched the briefings on both sides and "as far as I recall, there were Muslim Indian military officers who were conducting the briefings on the Indian side. " Bhutto also claimed that Pakistan radars had locked into 20 Indian jets on the night of May 7 and "If we wanted, we could've taken down all 20," but Pakistan showed restraint and"only 6 were shot down — the ones that launched strikes." He also rolled out the familiar trope about Pakistan being a "victim of terrorism" -- in a city where Pakistani nationals Ramzi Yousuf and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed launched attacks on the World Trade Center in 1993 and 2001.

Genetics, poor lifestyle cause premature menopause in more women in Bengaluru: Doctors
Bengaluru: Did you know menopause is happening earlier for many women in Bengaluru, with 6 in 10 of them experiencing it before they reach 40? Doctors are seeing women as young as 38 going through menopause or its symptoms. Reason: A cocktail of modern-day stressors. Dr Rubina Shanawaz Z, senior consultant in uro-gynaecology and gynae-oncology at Fortis Hospital, told TOI, "Menopausal age has been gradually shifting over the decades, and it's influenced by a variety of factors. Genetics plays a significant role. If your mother or sister experienced menopause at 50, you're likely to follow a similar timeline. But it's not just heredity, it depends on your level of physical activity, lifestyle choices, medications, hormone use, etc. " She explained, "Women now have low egg reserves and experience hormonal imbalances much sooner. So while the average lifespan has increased to 75 or 80, the reproductive window is shortening. In earlier generations, probably 1 in 10 women would report early menopause or its symptoms. Today, that number is closer to 6 out of 10." Another major factor is early menarche when girls begin menstruating earlier than the historical average of 12 years. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like AC Installation & Repair from Certified Pros Search7 Learn More Undo Doctors now report cases of girls starting their periods as early as 10. "Every menstrual cycle depletes the egg reserve. Since a woman is born with a fixed number of eggs, this can result in menopause occurring earlier than expected," said Dr Sapna Raina, senior consultant, obstetrics and gynaecology at Narayana Health City. Dr Raina said south Asian women, including those in India, typically experience menopause earlier than those in western countries. Here, menopause is considered normal if it occurs after the age of 45. When it happens between 40 and 45, it is termed early menopause. Before 40, it is classified as premature menopause. "While genetics plays a role, if your mother or grandmother had early menopause, you might too. Other factors like cancer treatments, pelvic surgeries and lifestyle habits like smoking can also cause the ovaries to stop functioning earlier," she said. Early menopause leaves the body without the protective benefits of oestrogen for a longer period. Oestrogen plays a key role in maintaining bone density and cardiovascular health. Dr Priya SP Patil, consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist at Altius Hospital, said: "There is an increased risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, memory issues, mood disorders, anxiety and depression post menopause." She said some women are being diagnosed with POI as early as 30. "It means the ovaries have exhausted their egg reserves prematurely, leading to infertility and an end to natural menstruation." Fertility specialists are also seeing more women in their early 30s with hormone and egg reserve levels typical of those in their 40s. "Ideally, menopause should occur between the ages of 45 and 55," said Dr Varsha Samson Roy, consultant and head of embryology at Birla Fertility & IVF. "But today, we are seeing AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) levels dropping at a much younger age, suggesting a shorter menstrual cycle in their life, which can also lead to early menopause." What can lead to it Genetics Early menarche Exposure to endocrine disruptors Lifestyle stressors Nutritional deficiencies Habits like smoking and alcohol

Big planet orbiting a small star: Scientists discover rare pairing in Milky Way galaxy
Astronomers say they have discovered a massive planet orbiting a tiny star, a bizarre pairing that has stumped scientists (Image credit: X/AFP) Astronomers on Wednesday have discovered a huge planet orbiting a tiny star. This bizarre pairing has left the scientists puzzled. The small star is called TOI-6894 . Most stars in the Milky Way galaxy are small like TOI-6894. It is a red dwarf with only about 20 per cent of the Sun's mass. Scientists never thought that such tiny stars could support massive planets. However, a team of international astronomers found clear signs of a gas giant planet orbiting the small star TOI-6894. Their findings were published in the journal ' Nature Astronomy '. This discovery makes TOI-6894 the smallest known star to host such a large planet. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Morocco (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search Ads Search Now Undo The planet has a slightly larger radius than Saturn, but weighs only half its mass. It orbits the star very quickly- once every three days. The astronomers discovered the planet while observing more than 91,000 small red dwarf stars from Nasa's TESS space telescope. The existence of the planet was confirmed by ground-based telescopes including Chile's observatory 'Very Large Telescope'. "The fact that this star hosts a giant planet has big implications for the total number of giant planets we estimate exist in our galaxy," said study co-author Daniel Bayliss from the UK's Warwick University. Another co-author, Vincent Van Eylen from University College London, said it was an "intriguing discovery". "We don't really understand how a star with so little mass can form such a massive planet!" Eylen said. "This is one of the goals of the search for more exoplanets . By finding planetary systems different from our solar system, we can test our models and better understand how our own solar system formed", he added. Scientists hope discoveries like this one will help them better understand how planets — including those in our own solar system — are formed. Why is TOI-6894b special? The new planet, named TOI-6894b is special because it is much cooler than most other planets found outside our solar system. The researchers explained that most of the planets are hot, having temperatures more than 1,000°C. However, the newly discovered planet appears to be under 150°C. That cooler temperature means scientists might be able to detect chemicals like ammonia in its atmosphere — something never seen before in planets outside our solar system. The James Webb Space Telescope is expected to observe this planet in the next year, which can help scientists in uncovering more mysteries of this strange planet.
