Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In the suicide note, he wrote, "I deposited the fees in the college, but the fees were being shown as pending in the students' fee record in the computer system. I tried to get it rectified several times, but in vain as the same could not be rectified. I was stopped from taking the practical exam. I don't know what my friends will think about me. Everyone please forgive me." The police have sent the body for a postmortem examination. A resident of Raebareli, Shubham was a fourth-year B Pharma student at a private college of pharmacy. His fellow students said that Shubham went to college to take his practicals on Thursday but was denied permission as he had not paid the Rs 22,000 fees for the semester. After this, he returned to his hostel. The teachers sent his friends Prabhat, Akash and Shrikant to call him, but Shubham's room was found locked from inside. His friends broke the door and saw Shubham hanging from the fan. The police reached the spot and took the body into custody. They searched the room and a suicide note was found. Thereafter, the students began making a video and had an argument with the hostel warden, who warned them not to make videos. Later, students gathered outside the hostel and started protesting against the college management. The hostel warden and other officials pacified the students. The students have demanded a fair investigation and strict action against the culprits. SHO Chinhat, DC Mishra said that police are investigating the case.

2 held after Dalit student shot dead in Saharanpur
Meerut: Two people were arrested on Sunday after a 19-year-old Dalit student was shot dead outside a college in Saharanpur the previous day, police said. The incident took place around 1 pm on the Gagalheri-Deoband highway in the Nagal police station area.

Most Karnataka Common Entrance Test toppers eye top medical colleges, await National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test results
Bengaluru/Mangaluru: While candidates and colleges celebrate top ranks in the CET 2025 results announced Saturday, many toppers across streams are now turning their attention to the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET-UG), hoping to secure top scores and admission to premier medical colleges. For instance, Akshay M Hegde, from Alva's PU College, Moodbidri, Dakshina Kannada, secured first rank in BSc (Agriculture) and ranked within the top 34 in other streams. He said, "Though I secured top ranks in several CET streams, my focus is solely on NEET. I'm expecting a good rank in NEET, and my dream is to join one of the top medical colleges in the country. For now, I don't plan to opt for any CET seats." For Harishraj DV, a student of Narayana E Techno School, Yelahanka, CET was merely a 'practice exam'. "My preparation was focused entirely on NEET-UG, and I'm not interested in taking up CET seats. I treated CET as a practice exam before NEET," said Harishraj, who secured first rank in nursing and veterinary, third rank in BPharma and DPharma, and sixth in agriculture. Saphal S Shetty, of Expert PU College, Valachil, Mangaluru, secured top rank in various CET streams, including third in BNYS (Bachelor of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences) and veterinary, and eighth in BPharma and DPharma. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No dark spots, 10 years younger!

My parents are in the medical field and I want to follow in their footsteps." Similarly, Nuthan Krishna Bhairavesh D, of Excellent PU College, Moodbidri, who also scored above 99th percentile in JEE, has his eyes set on medical education. "I'm confident of getting a good NEET-UG rank. I aspire to study at All India Institute Of Medical Sciences, Delhi," he said. He secured fourth rank in BNYS, fifth in BPharma and DPharma, and sixth in veterinary and nursing. Having appeared for both NEET-UG and JEE alongside CET, most students have their preferences clear. Narendra L Nayak, chairman of Expert Group of Institutions, pointed out that the courses offered through CET are limited. "All those bright students who dream about medical education will never take any subject other than their passion. Entrance tests like CET, which happen a few weeks before NEET, help them mentally prepare for the medical entrance test, giving real-time experience," he said. Mohammed Sadakath, principal of Alva's PU College, said, "Over the years, I've observed that most students who top CET rarely opt for those seats. Their first priority is always medicine, and they remain committed to that path."
