SET result delay leaves aspirants out of SPPU recruitment
Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) is facing criticism from job aspirants and student groups over its ongoing recruitment process for 133 contractual assistant professor posts. The university opened applications on June 18 but candidates have raised strong objections over the high application fees and the short window provided for form submission.

According to the university's notification, candidates from the unreserved category are required to pay ₹ 1,000 as application fees, an amount many aspirants find excessive since the positions are on a contractual basis. Several unemployed candidates have pointed out the additional financial burden on them due to the fees being non-refundable, and the travel expenses involved.
In comparison, the application fee for the ongoing recruitment processes at Mumbai University and Nagpur University is ₹ 500 only.
Adding to the Pune University candidates' grievances is the delay in the release of the results of Maharashtra State Eligibility Test (SET), conducted on June 15. Due to this, many candidates have been unable to apply for the recruitment process as the last date for submitting applications was June 27.
Candidates have now formally written to the university to extend the deadline by at least 15 days.
Mayur Jawale, a candidate, said, 'I am 100% sure I will qualify the SET examination in the Hindi subject, but the deadline for the assistant professor application has already passed. This feels like a complete waste of one year of my life. I urge the university administration to extend the application deadline and declare the SET result soon.'

From Tibet To Delhi Streets: How 'Dolma Aunty' Built A Rs 60 Lakh Momo Empire
Her name is Dolma Sering, though most customers know her simply as Dolma Aunty. Born in Tibet, she moved to India as a child when her family, along with many others, fled with the Dalai Lama. Raised in Tibetan settlements in Karnataka, she eventually made her way to Delhi, where fate and necessity pushed her into the food business. (News18 Hindi) When Dolma first set up her momo cart in Lajpat Nagar, the snack was a novelty, and not always a welcome one. "People thought momo were raw food," she recalled. Delhi's street food scene was dominated by deep-fried items, and a woman selling on the roadside was itself unusual. Add to that a language barrier, she spoke little Hindi, and there were days when not a single plate sold. (News18 Hindi) But Dolma adapted. She fine-tuned her recipes to suit Delhi's spice-loving palate, creating the fiery chutney that would become her signature. Slowly, curiosity turned to craving. (News18 Hindi) From selling six momo for Rs 15 in the early days, prices have risen to Rs 70-100 per plate, but the crowds haven't thinned. She has since expanded to two more outlets, all sticking to her original recipe and standards. (News18 Hindi) Today, according to food influencer Bizbrain, Dolma Aunty's stall sells around 1,900 plates a day, bringing in daily earnings of Rs 1.9-2 lakh. (News18 Hindi) Her son Ramu now handles operations, but Dolma remains the guardian of the taste that made her famous. (News18 Hindi) 9/9 By early afternoon, the queue outside her stall already snakes down the street. For many, it's not just about a quick snack, it's about being part of a Delhi street food legacy built on perseverance, adaptation, and the belief that one plate of momo can change everything.
