Maharashtra B. Pharm admissions: Another extension in application submission deadline has led to panic among aspirants
The deadline for submitting application forms for admission to Bachelor of Pharmacy (B. Pharm.) courses in Maharashtra have been extended once again — now pushed to August 19, from the earlier deadline of August 12. Multiple extensions have led to growing anxiety among aspirants, who are left wondering when the seat allotment rounds will begin. It has now been over two months since the MHT-CET results were announced, following which registration for pharmacy admissions began. While admissions to other technical courses have already progressed to their second or third rounds of seat allotment, B. Pharm admissions remain stuck at the registration stage, largely due to the ongoing approval of new colleges. Both aspirants and colleges are frustrated by the prolonged wait for the centralised admission process (CAP) to begin. While candidates fear a significant delay in academic schedules and potential academic loss, colleges are concerned that this delay may push students toward private universities or alternative courses — leading to vacant seats in B. Pharmacy programs. According to many frustrated candidates, it is unfair to make them wait for admissions just because new colleges are still being included in the seat matrix. One candidate said, 'This might be the third extension of the registration process. If new colleges are upcoming, they can be included later. But admissions for the existing seats should begin immediately.' Candidates also pointed out that fewer students would join new institutions anyway, making the delay even less justified. Colleges, meanwhile, fear that the prolonged admission process will drive students toward other undergraduate programs. Prof. Milind Umekar, National President of the Association of Pharmaceutical Teachers of India (APTI), said, 'In Maharashtra, the number of pharmacy colleges has increased far beyond the actual requirement. Excessive delays in the centralised admission process have led to students opting out of pharmacy courses in the past as well.'He pointed out that last year's B. Pharm. admissions continued until the end of December, causing significant academic disruption. Colleges also point out that private universities have already commenced their admission processes. 'The uncertainty caused by the delay in CAP pushes many candidates toward private universities, which are not bound to admit students through CAP. On the other hand, colleges affiliated with state universities where admissions are determined by the CET Cell are facing serious challenges because of this delay,' said one college principal. Further highlighting the paradox of the situation, Prof. Umekar noted that this year's delay is again due to waiting for the final number of new colleges, even though the state government has already begun inspecting newly approved pharmacy colleges in the past three years, due to an alarming increase in their number. 'The state should at least set a cut-off date and declare that only colleges approved by that date will be included in the current admission cycle. And the rest will have to wait until the next cycle,' he said.

Ahead Of Putin Summit, Trump To Speak With Zelensky, European Leaders
Europe and Ukraine's leaders will speak to US President Donald Trump at a virtual meeting on Wednesday ahead of his summit with Russia's Vladimir Putin, as they try to drive home the perils of selling out Kyiv's interests in pursuit of a ceasefire. Trump hosts Putin, a pariah in the West since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, at talks in Alaska on Friday that the US president has said will serve as a "feel-out" meeting in his efforts to end the Russo-Ukraine war. Trump agreed last week to the first US-Russia summit since 2021, abruptly shifting course after weeks of voicing frustration with Putin for resisting the US peace initiative. Trump said his envoy had made "great progress" at talks in Moscow. The US president says both Kyiv and Moscow will have to cede land to end the war. Russian troops have already occupied almost a fifth of Ukraine. The unpredictability of how the summit will play out has fuelled European fears that the US and Russian leaders could take far-reaching decisions and even seek to coerce Ukraine into an unfavourable deal. "We are focusing now to ensure that it does not happen - engaging with US partners and staying coordinated and united on the European side. Still a lot of time until Friday," said one senior official from eastern Europe. Trump's administration tempered expectations on Tuesday for major progress toward a ceasefire, calling his meeting with Putin in Alaska a "listening exercise." The video conference among Trump, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky and the leaders of Germany, Finland, France, Britain, Italy, Poland and the European Union is expected to take place at 1200 GMT (1400 CET), a German government spokesperson said. NATO's secretary general will also attend the conference hosted by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Ukraine hopes the meeting will serve - at least partially - as a European counterweight to the summit in Alaska. European leaders, who are wary of provoking Trump's ire, have repeatedly emphasised that they welcome his peace efforts, while underlining that there should be no deal about Ukraine without Ukraine's participation. Half a dozen senior European officials told Reuters that they see a risk of a deal being struck that is unfavourable for Europe and Ukraine's security. They said European unity would be vital if that happened. A source familiar with internal US deliberations said it could not be ruled out that Trump would seek a deal directly with Putin without involving Ukraine or Europe. But the source voiced doubt about that, saying it could cause problems with Kyiv and the EU. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Tuesday the summit will be a "listening exercise" for Trump to hear what it will take to get to a deal. After the call, Trump and Vice President JD Vance were expected to speak to European leaders at a separate online meeting at 1300 GMT (1500 CET), the German spokesperson said. That will be followed at 1430 GMT by an online meeting of the "coalition of the willing", a group of countries working on plans to support Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire. Mounting battlefield pressure A Gallup poll released last week found that 69% of Ukrainians favour a negotiated end to the war as soon as possible. But polls also show Ukrainians do not want peace at any cost if that means crushing concessions. Ahead of the calls, Zelensky said it would be impossible for Kyiv to agree to a deal that would require it to withdraw its troops from the eastern Donbas region, a large swathe of which is already occupied by Russia. That, he told reporters on Tuesday, would deprive Ukraine of a vast defensive network in the region, easing the way for Russia to mount a new push deeper into Ukraine in the future. Territorial issues, he added, could only be discussed once a ceasefire has been put in place and Ukraine has received security guarantees. Moscow's troops have recently ramped up pressure on the battlefield, tightening their stranglehold on the cities of Pokrovsk and Kostyantynivka in eastern Ukraine.

Khattar's heart still beats for Haryana
Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar may be handling a national portfolio, but Haryana remains close to his heart. The former chief minister was recently seen inspecting Gurugram and Nuh's jungle safari site alongside Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav. In Rohtak, he is scheduled for a university event. Earlier visits to Karnal and Panipat — they fall under his Karnal LS constituency —had him reviewing CET exam arrangements and village development projects. In Chandigarh, he chaired meetings to track progress on key works. Bajwa's tour, Punjab still on his mind Even on foreign shores, Punjab Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa kept an eye on political developments at home. Touring Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand for two weeks, he met ministers, MPs, mayors, and NRIs, listening to ideas for Punjab's future. Yet, his attention never left Chandigarh—firing salvos at CM Bhagwant Mann over the land pooling scheme, Jalandhar's oxygen deaths, threat to son of Congress MP Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, and PPP-mode medical colleges. His PR team churned out daily statements, ensuring his presence in Punjab's political conversation never faded. The tour blended diaspora outreach with Bajwa's knack for staying relevant from afar.
