JoSAA Counselling 2025: Category-wise Class 12th top 20 percentile cut-off marks for BTech admission
The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) on June 10 announced the category-wise top 20 percentile cut-off marks for the 2025 board exams. The top 20 percentile criterion will be considered to determine the candidate's eligibility for admission to BTech programmes. In addition to the top 20 percentile cut-off for 2025, the josaa.nic.in website is making the top 20 percentile cut-off for 2023 and 2024 available.
JoSAA Counselling 2025 Explained: Who can participate? How is a BTech seat in IIT, NIT allocated?
JoSAA is responsible for conducting counseling for admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) and some government funded technical institutes (GFTIs). JoSAA will be regulating the joint seat allocation for admissions to 127 institutes for the academic year 2025-26. This includes 23 IITs, 31 NITs, IIEST Shibpur, 26 IIITs, and 46 Other-Government Funded Technical Institutes (Other-GFTIs). The registration and choice filling for JoSAA round 1 counselling started on June 3.
For admission to an IIT, candidates are required to have completed their Class 12 board exams with a minimum of five subjects, obtaining an aggregate score of at least 75 per cent. There exist relaxations for candidates belonging to the Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), and Person with Disabilities (PwD) categories, the minimum aggregate marks required are 65 per cent, or be in the top 20 percentile list. The top 20 percentile may vary from board to board. Here's list of some boards:
In case a Board does not provide information about the cut-off for the top 20 percentile, the candidate will have to produce a certificate from the respective Board stating that he/she falls within the top 20 percentile of successful candidates. If the candidate fails to do so, then the cut-off marks, in the respective categories, for the Central Board of Secondary Education will be used.
The seat allocation process through JoSAA would involve six normal rounds. After this, the CSAB will conduct two special vacant seats filling rounds for the NIT+ system.

DU directs colleges to conduct safety checks after spate of mishaps
The Delhi University (DU) administration has recently issued a circular directing all college principals, department heads, hostel in-charges, and librarians to conduct thorough safety checks on their respective campuses. The instruction follows a series of incidents that raised concerns about the upkeep of infrastructure at DU and its affiliated colleges. A fire broke out in the library of Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce and a similar incident on Tuesday occurred when a fire erupted at the Department of Geology of DU. The fire incident in the library was due to a short circuit while computers caught fire in the Department of Geology. In April, a faculty member of Kalindi College was injured after a ceiling fan fell in a classroom. 'Yesterday, there was a fire in the Geology department. Recently, a fan had also fallen. We issued the circular to ensure that such incidents are avoided and that everything is in check by the time students return from their vacations and the new batch begins,' Ms. Rajni told The Hindu on Wednesday. The circular directed the departments concerned in all colleges to inspect every room and toilet to verify that critical infrastructure, such as fire extinguishers, lifts, ramps for Persons with Disabilities, electrical fixtures, and water supply systems are in working condition. 'Please see that all the roofs and walls are in a proper and safe condition, all the electrical fittings, like fans, lights are in working condition and there is ample supply of drinking water and water in the toilet,' Ms. Rajni stated in the circular.

City admin unable to ensure parked vehicles & shops stay in proper lanes
Bhopal: Broadening of roads—from four-lane to six-lane and two-lane to four-lane—is an all-pervasive trend in the city. The objective is to remove bottlenecks hampering traffic flow and provide ample space for all kinds of vehicles and pedestrians to move on the road with ease. But the majority of people believe that the very purpose is defeated as extra space created by the broadening of roads is instantly occupied by vendors and parked vehicles, leaving the road cramped and congested with traffic. "Having broad roads is not only necessary in view of the increasing density of traffic but it's aesthetically appealing too. However, as soon as you have a road broadened, a substantial portion of the extra space is occupied by parked cars, autos, and other vehicles, let alone stray cows and other animals, who also like to stretch themselves a little more and relax on the road. Of course, vendors also start operating from the road itself," said Deepak Gupta, a resident of Gulmohar Colony on the situation. Pankaj Sriwas, a resident of Arera Colony, while referring to the road in front of Kamlapati railway station and Kolar Road, said, "In front of the Kamlapati railway station, you must have seen, on one side you have parked vehicles and on the other side, you have tea stalls and pan shops operating. It's quite a broad road and there are service lanes on both sides as well, but traffic chaos still persists there and you have a situation of traffic jam every now and then. " Puneet Shrivastava, a student, said, "I am not opposed to vendors selling their things from the roadside and even occupying a portion of the footpath. They are poor people and doing it to make both ends meet, but setting up a kiosk or putting a handcart on the road itself and starting to sell snacks or other things should not be permissible." Anubhuti Sharma, a school teacher, said, "Earlier, when roads elsewhere in the city were not so broad except for Link Road No. 1, you had fruits and indigenous cold drinks like 'nimbu pani' and 'pana' being sold by vendors from the road. Then rows of PUC (pollution checking units) vans occupied Link Road No. 2, and as more and more roads are being broadened, you have vendors occupying some of those roads also." She reasoned that as the vacant space by the roadside vanishes due to the broadening of the road, from where the vendors operated, they start occupying the road itself. BMC commissioner Harendra Narayan, when contacted for comments, said, "It's primarily for the PWD to fix the problem. As far as BMC is concerned, we conduct regular drives to remove encroachments from the road, including temporary settlements of the vendors. " "It is the lack of enforcement," said retired chief engineer VK Amar. "India's urban roads are choked with encroachments, illegal parking, and unauthorised street vending, which might reduce usable road space by up to 50%. Near MANIT Bhopal, slum dwellers relocated under schemes like PMAY(U) lease out allotted homes and return to informal settlements, exploiting weak enforcement of rules against renting or selling. Street vendors illegally occupy pavements and roads. Vegetable sellers often set up stalls on busy roadsides or footpaths, reducing road width and obstructing pedestrian movement." Amar further said that strict enforcement and smart infrastructure are key to tackling encroachments. Municipalities must conduct regular surveys to ensure slum dwellers comply with housing policies. The Indian Road Congress mandates service lanes to segregate parking and local traffic. Indore's multi-level model—integrating a four-lane road, two-lane flyover, and metro line—could also be a useful solution. Traffic police and civic bodies must enforce no-parking zones, while smart parking systems, like multi-level car parks, can curb roadside parking. A master plan integrating these solutions, with stakeholder participation, is essential. Municipalities, state govts, traffic police, NHAI, and citizens share responsibility to ensure roads are used efficiently, he said.
