Patna High Court refuses to grant relief to student in MBBS impersonation case
Patna, June 02 (UNI) Patna High Court on Monday refused to grant any interim relief to Arvind Kumar, a student of MBBS of Government Medical College, Bettiah facing the charge of arranging for another student to appear on his behalf in the third year examination of the College. Justice Parthasarti of the Court, while hearing a petition of Arbind Kumar, refused to entertain his plea of granting relief. Instead, the Court accepted the plea of government pleader Prashant Pratap that impersonation was a serious issue and Arbind did not deserve any mercy as it could pose a serious threat to public health security. " New generation of the society will suffer the most in medical care if such a student who himself can not clear the examination and arrange for another student to appear on his behalf in third year MBBS examination of the medical college ", Pratap pointed out and added that petitioner himself had admitted in his petition that he had utilised the services of another student to appear on his behalf in the examination of third year of ENT. On the other hand, Ramchandra Singh, counsel of the petitioner, urged the Court to allow Arbind to appear in the next examination for MBBS. He pleaded that some students of the Medical College were granted relief in a similar case, as Aryabhatta Knowledge University had not filed its reply in the case. The Court directed the Vice Chancellor of Aryabhatta Knowledge University to file a reply in the case and fixed June 20, 2025, as the next date of hearing. The Court also directed the Additional Chief Secretary of the Health Department of the Bihar government to inform the Vice Chancellor of the University to file a reply in the case, as counsel for the University was not present in the Court. Admission of four students was cancelled by the College in the same case, but they got relief as Aryabhatta Knowledge University had failed to reply in the case. An FIR was filed against Arvind by the Examination Controller of the University for arranging for another student to appear on his behalf in third third-year examination of ENT of the college.

60% IT workforce of Pune & Mumbai is from Vidarbha: TCS Centre Head
Nagpur: Dispelling long-standing assumptions about the employable talent in Vidarbha, Arvind Kumar, centre head of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), revealed that nearly 60% of the IT workforce in Pune and Mumbai comes from Vidarbha. Speaking at the VISTAAR industry-academia conclave hosted by Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT), Kumar said this statistic alone proves the untapped potential of Vidarbha as a growing reservoir of tech talent. "Many still believe that Vidarbha lacks skilled IT professionals, but the numbers say otherwise," Kumar noted. Reinforcing this, he shared that TCS hired 390 engineering interns from the region last year — more than from any other single region across India. Kumar traced this growing synergy between academia and industry to collaborative initiatives started nearly a decade ago. Back in 2015, when VNIT supported the formation of IIIT Nagpur, discussions began around transforming traditional engineering education. This led to the conceptualisation of a six-month internship model aimed at ensuring students graduate with hands-on, job-ready experience. "The idea was simple — bridge the classroom with the workplace. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo We wanted young engineers who could hit the ground running," Kumar said. Highlighting a recent initiative, Kumar spoke about a six-month hackathon organised by TCS, where 23 real-world industrial problems relevant to Nagpur's local industries were tackled by teams of students and faculty. "It wasn't just about solving problems; it was about instilling confidence. Interns who were initially hesitant eventually emerged as capable contributors," he said. Kumar stressed that mentorship, industry exposure, and real engagement are critical in shaping young talent. "Industries need to move beyond expecting ready-made professionals. They must invest in nurturing students, understand their context, and build pathways for growth," he said. He also urged academic institutions to proactively reach out to industry partners and form meaningful collaborations. Reflecting on his connection with VNIT, Kumar called it a growing, purposeful partnership and gave a call to action: "Real growth happens when academia and industry move in sync — not just in intention, but in execution." Addressing the gathering earlier, VNIT director Prem Lal Patel also stressed on the need for meaningful interaction between academia and industry to enable the students to face challenges in the real world. "This is a tool to supplement each other, and that would happen only if we can have extensive interaction with each other," he asserted, thus laying stress on the need for interaction with one another. Emphasising the importance of work exposure, he said that VNIT now allows 8th semester students to undertake longer internships, provided they have enough credit points till the 7th semester. He also invited industry participation through the Boards of Studies and Senate membership. A joint assessment of projects like VTEC and FTEC was suggested to sync academic work with industrial needs. "We can work together and assess, and also get an idea of what the industry needs are," he added further.

Top Admissions Experts On International Student Ban At Harvard
On May 22, the Trump administration revoked Harvard University's ability to enroll international students. This leaves many international students wondering what to do. Some consultants were themselves once international students. In a direct message to me on LinkedIn, Petia Whitmore, Founder of My MBA Path, said, "As someone whose life and career were profoundly shaped by the opportunities made possible through U.S. education, I'm deeply invested in ensuring others can continue to access those same paths. The prospect that this route could narrow for future applicants is extremely troubling.' Whitmore says, 'I'm actively speaking with candidates about it, including one international applicant I just commenced Round 1 work with this morning, who has HBS on their list. We discussed the uncertainty ahead and the importance of expanding both school and career strategies to include the U.S. and Europe. That said, this remains a fast-moving situation, and it's still too early to offer clear, actionable advice." Arvind Kumar is the Founder of admitStreet in Bengaluru. In correspondence on WhatsApp, Kumar said, 'I work with a mix of candidates exploring both U.S. and E.U./U.K. programs, and my advice to them right now is to stay optimistic, but also mindful of the risks.' Could this be a permanent chill? Kumar said, 'The U.S. has weathered political and cultural shocks before, and today's uncertainty could even open up opportunities for applicants by lowering competition. But some of what we're seeing now feels different--more serious, more lasting--and it may potentially affect more U.S. schools over time.' Kumar advises students to think beyond the U.S. He said, "Given that, I'm encouraging candidates to hedge their bets and consider a balanced mix of programs across the U.S. and E.U./U.K.--aligned not just with their short-term and long-term career goals, but also with their geographic and financial preferences.' Candy Lee LaBalle, Founder of mbaClarity in Madrid, used 'heartbreak' to describe her response. Laballe wrote to me on WhatsApp, 'In general, I'm heartbroken. But my job as a consultant is to console my clients and share with them the most correct information that I can find.' LaBalle's response was visceral. She wrote, 'When I read the decision by the administration, it felt like a kick in the chest. I had a panic attack. I cried for a few hours. And then I spent the next day talking with all my colleagues around the world. In general, I think we have to wait and see. The response of my admitted students has mainly been controlled worry. They have told me things like, 'We are hoping for the best.' And I think that's all they can do right now.' Admissions Gateway in Gurgaon saw 35 of their international clients accepted to Harvard Business School this year. Founder Rajdeep Chinmi told me in a direct message on LinkedIn, 'While there is uncertainty, we have advised students to stay calm, control what is in their sphere of influence, and wait for the outcome of the May 29th court hearing." Harvard's generous financial aid helps, suggested Chinmi. He said, "Many of the students Admissions Gateway worked with this year got substantial aid packages, including tuition waivers. The uncertainties of the new policies and everything that is happening with the Trump administration gets a little set off when you place it with the fact that those people are not taking out $170,000 of debt and having this uncertainty. They have a fee waiver and they have all this uncertainty, which is an easier situation to sort of palate.' HBS has offered international students a solution of last resort. On May 23, Rupal Gadhia, Managing Director of MBA Admissions and Financial Aid at HBS, wrote to admitted students, 'As in past years, any international admitted student who is unable to start the program due to visa issues, despite having taken all reasonable and proactive steps to secure a visa, will be given an option to defer to the HBS MBA Class of 2028.' Of course, this leaves open the question of what might happen if HBS is unable to enroll international students at all. But it does give admitted students the sense that HBS is on their side as they navigate unprecedented uncertainty.
