The Indian Institute of Technology Bhilai (IIT Bhilai) has entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with Institut Mines Telecom (IMT) Nord Europe to foster international academic and research partnerships between India and France. Prof. Rajiv Prakash, Director of IIT Bhilai, signed this agreement on behalf of IIT Bhilai and the Office of International Affairs at IIT Bhilai.
The agreement is formalised to advance joint actions in matters of reciprocal interest between IMT Nord Europe and the Indian Institute of Technology, Bhilai. The parties have signed this agreement, which seeks to promote bidirectional cooperation links that contribute to the objectives of both institutions and, at the same time, allow them to contribute to the educational, social, and cultural development of the territories.
Under this agreement, undergraduate and postgraduate students from IIT Bhilai will have the opportunity to study in France and earn joint degrees, thereby gaining invaluable international exposure. The collaboration will focus on several key areas, including Mechanical Engineering, Polymer and Composite Materials, Mechatronics, and Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence, as mentioned in the press release.
Meanwhile, the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) and the Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB) have been conducting counselling for admission to Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), National Institutes of Technology (NITs) and other institutions. While JoSAA is responsible for conducting counselling for IIT admission and for the NIT+ system (NIT, IIIT, etc), CSAB conducts counselling only for the NIT+ system.
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 will begin on June 3.

Mumbai Customs plans to cut international passenger clearance time from 10 minutes to 5
In a move that is likely to ease congestion, Mumbai Customs is working on a plan to reduce clearance time for international passengers from 10 minutes to 5 minutes by introducing automation and AI-based systems. 'We are developing a new system called CAPIT, in which we are trying to use AI and ML rather than rely on random checks or manual profiling. Earlier, we would mark bags with chalk or pen. Now, the system flags baggage electronically and connects it with the passenger profile internally,' Joseph Gouda, joint director, Indian Revenue Services (IRS), said. He was speaking at a panel discussion on 'Airport passenger infrastructure through innovation' held on Thursday here, ahead of the Inter Passenger Terminal Show (IPTS) 2025. The panel included members from the Ministry of Civil Aviation, Mumbai Customs, terminal operations heads from Mumbai and Navi Mumbai airports, among others. India currently has over 2,200 aircraft on order and air traffic is projected to double over the next two decades. 'India's aviation growth presents a dual challenge—securing borders while easing the journey for millions of law-abiding passengers. In Mumbai alone, we clear 22,000–25,000 international travellers daily, averaging 10-minute Customs clearance. Our aim is to cut this to five minutes,' Gouda added. At Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA), expected to begin operations soon, planning has focused on real-time digital tools and data-based terminal management. Vikram Falodiya, head of terminal operations, NMIA, said, 'At NMIA, we have the best use technology to manage passenger flow and airside operations, including rapid exit taxiway simulations for faster aircraft movement. Passenger experience is a priority. With surging passenger traffic, cities like Mumbai may need new airports by 2040. Despite the volume, our operational teams perform impressively, and Mumbai ranks high globally for efficiency.' The roundtable was a precursor to the upcoming IPTS 2025, which will be held on June 11-12 in Mumbai drawing over 3,000 participants from the aviation, infrastructure and regulatory sectors.
