13 students from government-run free coaching centre clear IIT-JEE Advance in Jharkhand
After clearing JEE Advanced Examination, these students are now eligible for admission in prestigious IITs located across the country.
Despite the challenging level of the question paper this year, the success of the students of the Aakanksha program is being seen as a landmark. 'It all became possible due to the regular classes being conducted at Akansha by the best faculty available here. Students here, are made to remain in full discipline as there is no scope for diverting from their goals or bunking their classes, as a close eye is kept on them by Administrator VK Singh,' said the District Education Officer Vinay Kumar.
Only the students passing out their class 10 Board exam with Jharkhand Autonomous Council (JAC) are eligible to appear for its entrance test, he added.
'Since students are admitted here after going through a two-stage filter, firstly by the JAC and then during the entrance test conducted by Akansha, only serious students get this facility,' said the DEO.
He, however, said that he was expecting better results this time, looking at the hard work these students had been doing during the last two years, he added.
Notably, a selection test is organised by the department for the children studying in government schools in class XI across Jharkhand. Based on the selection test, 40 students are selected for both the Engineering and Medical streams.

Proposed handover of Auroville farm land for IIT-M campus reignites sustainability debate
A section of Aurovilians and the township administration are at daggers drawn over a plan to site the proposed sustainability campus of the IIT-Madras on agricultural lands of Annapurna Farm, which is one of the sources of food supply to the residents. While a group of residents has raised alarm over the 'imminent destruction' of the four decade-old farm in the wake of the Auroville Foundation governing board's decision to hand over 100 acres of farm land for the project, Auroville Foundation dismissed the claims as 'alarmist and misleading narratives to obstruct city-building works by a small but vocal group that over the past four years has repeatedly circulated - first on roads and infrastructure, then on land exchanges, and now on Annapurna'. A statement from the media wing of the 'Working Committee of the Residents Assembly' (an entity deemed unauthorised by Auroville authorities), said the move follows a pattern of unilateral decision-making by the current Auroville administration that has consistently sidelined community voices and expertise since July 2021. The proposed project alienates land that was donated for this fundamental purpose, and represents a diversion and complete disregard for the principle that Auroville residents should be integral participants in major decisions affecting their community, the statement said. 'We support research into sustainable technologies and we welcome any potential collaboration with Institutions of excellence like the IIT-M. However, the destruction of a thriving organic farm to build a test track for heavy vehicles, EV or otherwise, represents exactly the kind of short-sighted planning that Auroville was created to transcend,' it stated. However, the Foundation, which said that there was no approved plan for an EV truck test track on the farm, cited assessments that showed effective cultivation was confined to about 30 acres of the 135 acres. The rest of the land is projected as used for something or the other related to the farm, but this is an ineffective and extremely luxurious use of precious land. Additionally, balance sheets show that the farm runs on consistent losses, and sustains itself on donations, in the best of cases, it said. Opponents of the plan say managers of the Annapurna farm were only notified via email on August 13, with no prior consultation with the farm managers or the Auroville community. They also countered the claim that Annapurna used only 35 acres as it ignored the complex ecosystem that is necessary for organic farming, which includes 20 acres of paddy, 25 acres of fodder/biomass plantations, 30 acres for animal grazing and 38 acres of forest buffers. The Foundation, however, cited farm audits to portray a different story. Across all Auroville farms (not just Annapurna) spanning hundreds of acres, current output meets less than 12% of the food needs of the about 2,800 residents, it said. Auroville is in the process of consolidating agriculture inside the Master Plan's Green Belt to lower food miles (Annapurna is located at a distance of over 10 km from the centre), reduce lifecycle emissions, and achieve outcome-focused food security, the Foundation said. 'Stewardship by very few individuals over very large tracts has historically limited community-scale optimisation'. Utilising the 100 acres of Annapurna (outside the Master Plan) for an IIT-led sustainability-focused campus will catalyse regional opportunities — education, research, employment — while Auroville upgrades and concentrates on farming closer to the city, consistent with the Mother's original idea and intent behind having a Green Belt surrounding the City of Auroville, it added. 'That the authorities scheduled a discussion with Annapurna managers only on August 18 typifies a fait accompli approach to decision-making,' a resident said. While critics of the proposal appealed to the Governing Board to reverse the decision and engage in consultation even as a 'Save Annapurna Farm' campaign has been launched, the Foundation says the transition from land-holding to outcome-focused agriculture has been endorsed by the Working Groups, comprising Auroville residents. All Aurovilians, newcomers and volunteers currently working at Annapurna will be encouraged to migrate to farms in Auroville Green Belt farms as part of the managed transition, it added.

Is nursery admission as competitive as IIT-JEE?
It's 6 a.m. on an October morning in Delhi. The Sharma household is already in a frenzy. A fat plastic file, stuffed with birth certificate, Aadhaar cards, electricity bills, vaccination slips, and endless photocopies, lies open on the dining table. Ritu flips through the pages nervously for the tenth time while her husband zips it shut. By 6:30, they are rushing out of the door to join a growing queue outside a private school gate. They're not preparing for an engineering exam, not even a college entrance. They are bracing for nursery admissions a battle that now feels as fierce as many urban Indian parents, nursery admission has become the first and most brutal rat race of a child's life. The odds at some elite schools are now lower than IIT-JEE acceptance rates, the costs rival MBA programs, and the emotional toll is NUMBERS: ODDS WORSE THAN IITIIT-JEE (2024–25): 1.8 lakh students appeared for JEE Advanced; ~17,740 IIT seats available, acceptance ~10%.Delhi nursery elite schools: elite international school open ~70–100 general seats. Applications run into thousands. Odds fall below 3–5% , making them tougher than IITs, IIMs, or even Ivy League Vidyalayas: In 2024, KV Balvatika-1 (nursery) seats were filled through a public draw; in some regions, thousands of applicants competed for a few dozen seats.'Getting a seat in a top Delhi school today is like winning a lottery,' says Vivek Mehra, a father who applied to nine schools for his son. 'We weren't celebrating New Year; we were refreshing websites for admission lists.'THE COST: SCHOOLING AS AN INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO Fees vary wildly, but in Tier-1 metros:Delhi top-tier schools: 2.5–6 lakh per year (20,000–50,000 per month) + admission charges up to 1.5 IB schools: 4–10 lakh per year, with 'infrastructure' and 'development' fees premium schools: 2–4 lakh annually, rising sharply in higher top of this come uniforms, books, activity charges, and transport. Parents report first-year bills touching 7–8 lakh in premium setups. One Gurgaon parent summed it up bluntly: 'My MBA cost less than what I will end up paying for my daughter's nursery to Class 5.' Parents complain the 'sibling-alumni advantage' makes elite schools near-impossible for first-time entrants. 'Unless you already have one child inside, it feels like a closed club,' says Neha Kapoor, whose son was rejected from all six schools they applied QUALIFICATIONS: THE PHANTOM FILTERWhile Delhi banned 'unfair criteria' like mother's education or parents' job profiles years ago, many forms still ask for details. Parents fear bias even if it's not officially used.'I was asked about my occupation in three schools,' says Rahul Khanna, an IT professional. 'Even if they claim it doesn't matter, as a parent you're constantly second-guessing: Am I educated enough? "Do I earn enough for them to consider me?'THE STRESS: A FAMILY AFFAIRadvertisementNursery admissions are not just about children they become a family-wide project , parents relocating homes to qualify under the distance criterion. Mothers quitting jobs to 'spend more time' on application postponing or timing second children to take warn of a deeper problem. 'We are transferring competitive anxiety from teenagers to toddlers,' says child counsellor Dr. Anjali Verma. 'Parents come to me with panic attacks because their three-year-old didn't make it into a particular school. This is unhealthy, and it trickles down to the child.'THE ALTERNATIVE: PUBLIC SCHOOLS ON THE RISEInterestingly, government-run 'model schools' (Delhi SoSE, PM SHRI, etc.) are seeing record applications—tens of thousands for a few thousand seats. For middle-class families priced out of private options, these are becoming TAKEAWAY FOR PARENTSadvertisementDo the math early: Check point systems and distance before wide: Most parents apply to 8–12 schools; don't pin hopes on realistically: Tuition is just the start—add 30–40% for panic over rejection: Lottery-driven systems are unpredictable.- Ends

Astronomy Olympiad suspends Israel from future editions over its military actions in Gaza
The International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics (IOAA) Monday suspended Israel from future editions of the annual competition for secondary school students, allowing Israeli students to compete only on an individual basis but not as part of the national team. IOAA's International Board, the governing body, made the decision during the ongoing 18th edition in Mumbai following a letter dated August 1 from 536 signatories, including several from the Indian and international scientific community, advocating for Israel's suspension due to its actions in Gaza and the prevention of Palestinian participation. The Board is learnt to have voted by a significant majority to suspend Israel from future Olympiads. IOAA President Aniket Sule said, 'We have resolved that students from Israel can participate as individual participants, but Israel cannot participate as a national team.' Incidentally, Israel has so far never participated in any editions of IOAA, including the current one, since its inception in 2007. An IOAA circular issued in May included Israel in the list of pre-registered countries. 'They (Israeli students) had initially said that they would like to participate. But finally, they could not get the permissions they needed from their government, and did not participate,' Prof Sule said. The letter to IOAA from members of the scientific community, including former participants of IOAA and other International Science Olympiads stated: 'The Science Olympiads are meant to identify and encourage talented secondary-school students from each country and also to promote international cooperation in the teaching and promotion of science. The Olympic spirit requires all member nations to follow international law and respect the human rights of students from other countries. We regret to note Israel's repeated violations of these norms.' Pointing to Israel's military campaign in Gaza, which has killed more than 60,000 Palestinians, including thousands of children, the letter noted: 'Israel has forcibly prevented Palestine from fielding a full team for this Olympiad. We understand that students from Gaza were prevented from traveling for the event. We also understand that the sole participating Palestinian student is from Jenin, which has been subjected to Israeli raids and where thousands of people have been displaced.' It added that as an international organisation, the Board cannot look away from these issues, and suggested that the International Board adopt a resolution to suspend Israel from participating in the IOAA, while allowing individual students to participate. Suvrat Raju, physicist at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, who was among the initial signatories of the letter, said, 'We hope that this suspension will send a clear message to the Israeli government: the world is outraged by its actions in Palestine and it must change course immediately.' Prpf Sule said this is not the first time the IOAA has suspended a nation over its military aggression, citing examples of Russia and Belarus, which aided the former's invasion of Ukraine. 'Since 2022, Russia has not participated at all. Belarus had also not participated for two-three years. This year, students from Belarus are participating on their own. They are not recognised as a national team,' said Prof Sule, adding that when they received the letter urging suspension of Israel, they discussed it with the Board. 'The Board looked at all aspects. In the past, we had taken a similar decision for Russia and Belarus that they will not be allowed to participate as a national team, but as individual students. We used the same yardstick for Israel, and a similar decision was taken,' Prof Sule said. IOAA 2025 began on August 11 and will go on until August 11, featuring 64 participating countries. It is being hosted by the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE) and Tata Institute of Fundamental Research. Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the opening ceremony last week in a video message.
