95k apply for admissions in BEd, MEd courses against 58k seats
Indore: Admissions for BEd, MEd, BPEd, and MPEd courses across Madhya Pradesh saw a record-breaking response this year, with more than 95,000 registrations recorded for 58,000 seats available in the first round of admissions under the department of higher education (DHE). In Indore alone over 7000 applications were submitted. Officials now anticipate a significant rise in cut-off scores, especially for BEd, where the merit threshold may go up to 73-74%, compared to last year's 69-71%. With the registration and verification process for the first round now complete, the department of higher education is set to release the first allotment list on Thursday. Students, who will be allotted seats, will have to confirm admission and pay the fee between June 13 and 18. Despite two more rounds to follow, the first phase already witnessed over 83,000 locked registrations and 72,000 document verifications, making it the most competitive phase so far. BEd and MEd college association representatives have urged authorities to begin CLC (college level counselling) round early to ensure optimal seat utilisation. Last year, due to technical glitches, some seats remained vacant despite high demand. In total, 775 colleges across the state offer these teacher education programmes, with 69 affiliated to Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV), Indore. Undergraduate programmes such as BA, BCom, and BSc have also seen renewed interest, despite BBA and BCA courses being shifted under the department of technical education. Admission experts attribute the surge to increasing preference among students preparing for competitive exams like MPPSC , UPSC , and police services. City college administrators believe that if technical issues are addressed timely, no seats will remain vacant this year. The second round for UG, PG and teacher education courses will begin with fresh registrations from June 13 to 18, followed by document verification, allotment lists, and fee payment as per revised schedules.

From fruit chaat seller to assistant professor: Tej Kushwaha's inspiring journey
Indore: In a testament to perseverance and determination, 31-year-old Tej Prakash Kushwaha, a native of a small village in Rewa district, achieved his dream of becoming an assistant professor in geography. His name figures among the successful candidates in the recently announced interview results of the MPPSC Assistant Professor Recruitment Exam 2022. Kushwaha hails from Bausadwa village in Jawa tehsil where his parents are engaged in farming. He completed his early education at a govt school in his village that went up only to Class 5, after which he moved to another town to continue his studies. Despite facing academic setbacks — he once failed Class 8—Tej went on to earn a BA and MA in geography from Allahabad University. His journey into competitive exams began with the UPSC, for which he prepared while living in Delhi for three years. After multiple attempts, he shifted his focus to the Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission (MPPSC) and moved to Indore in 2019. Though he cleared the prelims four times and appeared for mains, the interview round remained elusive. Faced with financial difficulties while preparing, Tej and three friends—Shubham Thakur, Suraj, and Pradeep—started a small venture named PSC Falahaar, selling fruit chaat near Bhola Ram Ustad Marg in Indore. "Expenses in Indore were rising, so we decided to serve fresh fruits to students and residents for just Rs.20," Tej told TOI. The group would visit the fruit mandi at 5am, prepare the servings, and take turns running the stall to balance work and studies. While their aim was to make Rs 200 each per day for their expenses, the venture became a success and expanded to multiple locations in Indore, eventually being replicated in 14 other states by students. In early 2025, Tej and his friends handed over the initiative to another group in need. Meanwhile, he cleared the UGC-NET and qualified for a Junior Research Fellowship in 2023, which allowed him to pursue a PhD at Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya with financial support from the central govt. Determined to crack the MPPSC interview, he joined a coaching group for mock interviews and personality development. "We critiqued each other's communication and body language, which boosted my confidence," he said. His interview panel asked questions about his startup, the Rewa region, and Prayagraj—his place of higher education. "For questions I didn't know, I admitted it honestly and promised to learn." Tej scored 80 in the interview and was selected. "I come from a humble background. My father once worked as a labourer in Pune while my mother managed the farm. Today, I'm happy to make them proud." Now being in the field of education, Tej aims to attain the top positions. "I want to grow in academia and one day serve as a vice-chancellor," he said.

Vyapam to police constable recruitment, it's endless series of scams: Patwari
Bhopal: Congress state unit president Jitu Patwari on Friday came down heavily on the BJP govt for the recently exposed police constable recruitment "scam". "MPPSC (Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission) has now become a corruption recruitment department," Patwari said. "Fake candidates were made to sit in the constable recruitment exam through solver gangs. So far, 16 FIRs have been registered, but no concrete action seems to have been taken. Earlier, the same pattern has been seen in the Patwari recruitment, primary teacher recruitment, and many other recruitment examinations," he said. He argued that lakhs of youth in the state dream of govt jobs and toil night and day for it. "But this govt is busy digging the grave of their dreams. I want to ask the govt - why are the children and youth being strangled? Will the hard work of the youth now be sacrificed to conspiracies?" Patwari asked. "From Vyapam to constable recruitment, it is an endless series of corruption. Till when will the MP govt put the future of the youth at stake?" he asked. Recalling the Vyapam recruitment scam, the Congress chief said, "Not only did a scam take place, but justice was murdered. More than 50 deaths took place, including students, journalists and officials associated with the scam. Even today, not a single accused has been punished. All have been acquitted. What kind of justice is this? Is this the Ram Rajya that the BJP talks about?" Patwari said the Congress would raise these questions on public forums. "This is not the time to sit quietly. We will ask questions and demand answers from the govt and society. When the daughters of the country are unsafe, when the future of the youth is in the dark, when the recruitment system is in the hands of mafias, then it is the responsibility of the opposition to raise its voice and get justice for the people." Besides, Patwari asked who is taking the salaries of the 50,000 missing govt employees over the past two decades. He claimed that 50,000 govt employees did not withdraw their salaries amounting to Rs 250 crore this year. "Fifty thousand employees of the state govt have gone missing. More than Rs 250 crore in salary is not being withdrawn by these employees. The govt has appointed a commission for this and asked to find the missing employees," Patwari said. "The state has 4.5 lakh employees, and the govt is trying to track 50,000 of them. This is a huge financial and administrative chaos. Now there is no one to take the salary, so in the last 22 to 25 years, who was taking this money of Rs 500 crore per year? It is an amount as big as Rs 12,500 crore that has been taken, but by whom." He said the state govt was continuously taking loans. "We have again taken a loan of Rs 450 crore. The people of the state need to awaken; they (BJP govt) have made govt employees disappear and have been taking their salaries for years. The BJP govt has made unique scams in the state – a Chambal scam, a snake bite scam, there are 42 different scams that have hit the state under BJP rule.
