IISc Bangalore revises GATE COAP schedule for MTech admissions, PSU recruitment

Indian Express20-05-2025

GATE COAP Schedule 2025: The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore has revised the schedule for the Common Offer Acceptance Portal (COAP) 2025, which facilitates MTech admissions and Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) recruitments through the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) 2025. The GATE COAP 2025 round 2 allotment will be available between May 23 and 25 on the official portal — gate.iisc.ac.in/COAP2025.
While the dates for GATE COAP round 1 remain unchanged, candidates participating in the COAP second round must view offers and make their decision by May 25, a day earlier than the previously announced deadline of May 26. The Institute has also revised the counselling dates for subsequent rounds.
Several premier institutes, including IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Madras, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Roorkee, IIT Guwahati, IIT Indore, IIT Bhilai, IIT Dharwad, IIT BHU, and IISc Bengaluru, are participating in the COAP 2025 process.
The results for GATE 2025 were announced earlier on March 19, alongside the list of top rankers. The examination was conducted in multiple sessions on February 1, 2, 15, and 16, 2025, with over 10 lakh candidates appearing for the test. GATE is a crucial examination for candidates seeking postgraduate admission and recruitment in Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs).

Varanashi Farms pilots solar panel upcycling project

Mangaluru: Varanashi Farms in Adyanadka of Dakshina Kannada district, known for its regenerative organic farming that merges modern soil biology with traditional Vedic farming practices, is probably the first site in India to pilot Surya Arka, an innovative solution that upcycles end-of-life (EoL) solar panels. As part of a collaborative research initiative between the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and Imperial College London, the farm installed solar arches, a hybrid structure that combines four functional photovoltaic panels with 20 decommissioned ones, repurposed using polytunnel technology to create a resilient, energy-generating nursery for cacao saplings. "The placement of these panels is based on light diffusion specs tailored for cacao (coco) and pepper nursery plants. We are blending smart design with regenerative farming to create optimal growing conditions," Partha Varanashi, CEO of Varanashi Farms told TOI. Established in 1846, Varanashi Farms practices multilayer cropping, cultivating over 100 plant varieties including coconut, cacao, nutmeg, black pepper, banana, and paddy rice. The new 14x4me nursery was assembled in just four days, using 25 factory-rejected panels from BHEL, repurposed aluminium scrap, and locally sourced acacia wood crafted by village carpenters. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The design was developed by Asha Bakhai and Diego Muñoz Iglesias, students at the Dyson School of Design Engineering, in consultation with Dr Ashwini from Varanashi Farms and Dr Elena from Imperial College of London. "We have created a simple aluminium joint system that removes the need for expensive mounting infrastructure. It is low-cost, low-tech, and built for rapid assembly—perfect for rural and resource-constrained environments," said Asha. The structure includes a solar-powered irrigation system that sustains the nursery even during monsoons, demonstrating how discarded PV panels can be transformed into functional farming assets. The project team is also developing an open-source web platform that uses geospatial data to help users worldwide repurpose their decommissioned solar panels. In India, such panels could offer shade for buildings, power for Wi-Fi and lighting, or cooling for crops. In the UK, car parks, stadiums, and greenhouses could benefit from similar applications. The site is now a training ground for those visiting to understand sustainable agriculture. "We host students from around the world. This initiative helps them connect energy, ecology, and enterprise," said Partha. The project is funded by the IISc-Imperial Seed Grant and the Imperial India Connect Fund.

Karnataka cabinet approves Quantum Research Park Phase 2 at IISc

Last Updated: Bengaluru, Jun 5 (PTI) In a big step forward in positioning Karnataka as a global leader in quantum technology, the state cabinet approved the establishment of Quantum research park phase-2 at IISc in Bengaluru, said Minister for Electronics and IT/BT Priyank Kharge on Thursday. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the minister announced that with a government grant of Rs 48 crore, the park will be developed in partnership with the Foundation for Science, Innovation and Development (FSID). 'This initiative will strengthen Karnataka's leadership in quantum research, skill-building and innovation. It will offer a collaborative space for academia, startups and industry to work on cutting-edge quantum technologies," he wrote. According to him, the park will provide world-class quantum technology research and product development facilities. It will also be a state-of-the-art training centre to upskill youth, reskill professionals and train faculty, he added. 'This initiative is expected to attract FDI, boost IP creation and open up new economic frontiers in areas like cybersecurity, climate modeling, pharmaceuticals and finance," said Kharge. PTI JR ROH

Cabinet clears tunnel project in Bengaluru under BOOT model

The Karnataka Cabinet has decided to implement a ₹17,780-crore tunnel road project from Hebbal to Silk Board in Bengaluru under the BOOT (Build-Own-Operate-Transfer) model by calling global tenders. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday chaired a Cabinet meeting and cleared the project in the city which would be operated by the private firm for 30 years. It would be a tolled tunnel. The Chief Minister has been authorised to call global tenders for the project. All works related to the project would be completed in 38 months, Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister H.K. Patil told reporters. The Cabinet cleared a quantum research park at IISc, Bengaluru, and it would be established in collaboration with Foundation for Science Innovation & Development (FSID) at a cost of ₹48 crore. The Cabinet cleared a ₹1,386-crore project to upgrade all government industrial training institutes in Karnataka. The institutes would be developed with the Asian Development Fund of ₹970 crore. The State government would contribute ₹416 crore and the project will be completed in five years. It has approved ₹181.77 crore for the State-run Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences in Bengaluru, Kalaburagi, Hubballi, and Mysuru, for the purchase of equipment.
