10% in-house quota rule eased for FYJC admissions
Mumbai: Now, students from secondary schools run by the same management and located in the same revenue district as the junior colleges will be eligible to seek admission under the in-house quota. But for Mumbai, Mumbai city, suburbs and Thane will be considered as one unit. After receiving complaints from various stakeholders, the state govt issued a circular on Saturday revising the rule for the in-house quota for first-year junior college (FYJC) admissions and widening its scope. In an information brochure released earlier this month, it had restricted the quota only to students from schools running 'within the premises' of the junior colleges. The rule was opposed by managements and created confusion among students and parents. TOI had highlighted this issue on May 21. In Mumbai, most junior colleges with an in-house quota are attached to degree colleges and schools are either in the same vicinity or a little away from the campus. A principal pointed out that many students look forward to the quota to secure seats and the problem is probably unique to Mumbai colleges. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Click Here - This Might Save You From Losing Money Expertinspector Click Here Undo Till last year, the quota was reserved for schools run by the same management in any given division. College managements, which also run secondary schools, are permitted to set aside 10% of seats under this quota. An official told TOI that since FYJC admissions have been centralised this year in the state, it was decided that a school and a junior college cannot be in different districts and, therefore, 'within the same premises' was used in the brochure. An educationist said govt needs to do thorough research and have inputs from the ground before issuing guidelines, and not as an afterthought. The circular said the rule was revised following a discussion a day earlier among the school education secretary, the commissioner of education, and the director of secondary education.

Chief engineer arrested on retirement day for illegal assets of Rs 15cr
1 2 3 4 5 6 Bhubaneswar: A day after Baikunthanath Sarangi, chief engineer of rural development department, was caught on video tossing around Rs 50 lakh in cash onto his neighbour's terrace during a vigilance raid here, officers arrested him on his day of retirement on Saturday for allegedly possessing disproportionate assets worth over Rs 15 crore. Vigilance officers produced him before a designated court, which rejected his bail plea and remanded him in judicial custody. Officers said the arrest was the 61st case against Class-I officers in the state this year in the ongoing anti-corruption drive. "Sarangi was found to be in possession of disproportionate assets which were 483% more than his known sources of income," a vigilance officer said. He was booked under sections 13(2), 13(1)(b) and 12 of the Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Act, 2018. During searches, vigilance sleuths found two double-storey residential buildings, a flat in Bhubaneswar, another flat in Puri, and seven high-value plots on the outskirts of Bhubaneswar and Angul belonging to Sarangi. Cash amounting to Rs 2,56,29,299 was found, of which Rs 1,34,34,299 was in his wife's name. Officers faced a tough task retrieving Rs 50 lakh that Sarangi threw on the terrace of his neighbour from the window of his house in Dumduma area of the city upon seeing the sleuths. Vigilance found that Sarangi invested Rs 2.7 crore in the share market and Rs 1.5 crore in insurance and banks. Sarangi started his career as an engineer in the panchayati raj department in 1991 with a monthly salary of Rs 2,000. In Feb this year, he was promoted to chief engineer. In another development, vigilance sleuths on Saturday conducted searches at multiple locations related to assistant executive engineer (roads and buildings division-1), N Dillip Kumar Choudhury, in Berhampur and Bhubaneswar for alleged possession of disproportionate assets. The searches detected a double-storey building in Mayuree Vihar, Berhampur, a three-BHK flat in Saheed Nagar, Bhubaneswar, a 2-BHK flat at Dharma Nagar in Berhampur, 11 plots and several pieces of land in Berhampur. They found bank balance and investment worth over Rs 28.53 lakh and two wheelers and household articles worth over Rs 10. 11 lakh during search.
