Bond service on hold for medical PG admissions
MUMBAI: MBBS graduates in Maharashtra are no longer required to complete a year's bond service to enroll in post-graduate (PG) medical courses. The requirement has been stayed by the state medical education department, which issued an order on Tuesday. 'The 2017 state government resolution requiring MBBS graduates to complete their bond service before joining PG courses had been put on hold till further orders,' it said. The Association of State Medical Interns (ASMI) had written to the Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER), flagging serious concerns on the feasibility of this rule, which took effect in 2019-20. HT had also highlighted the issue. The rule had also mandated the bond service for candidates taking the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) for PG courses, for the third time. These candidates will have to complete the mandatory bond service. In its letter to the chief minister and medical education minister early this month, ASMI had pointed out that around 4,150 students graduate with an MBBS degree every year in Maharashtra, but the DMER does not have an equal number of seats available for bond service placements. As a result, many students are left waiting indefinitely, delaying their academic and professional progression. While welcoming Tuesday's decision, ASMI regional coordinator Dr Zeeshan Bagwan said, 'This is a welcome move but we urge the government to discuss the issue with ASMI before issuing a final government resolution on the matter.'

ASM International expects FY sales growth of 10%-20% despite tariff uncertainty
Computer chip equipment maker ASM International (ASMI) said on Tuesday it expects annual sales to grow in a double-digit percentage range at constant currencies, despite increased macroeconomic uncertainty from trade tensions. The Dutch company expects sales to grow in a range of 10 per cent to 20 per cent for 2025. "While we have reasonable visibility that we will achieve the lower end of the range, achieving the higher end will require some upside opportunities to materialize, which at this point is still uncertain," the company said in a statement. U.S. President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs and uncertainty over his trade policies have sent global markets into a tailspin and significantly dampened investors' economic optimism. "For 2025, we now expect gross margin to be in the upper half of the target range of 46 per cent-50 per cent," CEO Hichem M'Saad said, adding that this excludes any potential direct impact from tariffs, which was currently difficult to predict. Europe's second-largest chip equipment supplier also expects its second-quarter sales to increase by a range of 1 per cent-6 per cent, at constant currencies, from 839.2 million euros ($958.03 million) in the first quarter. ($1 = 0.8760 euros)
