Byju's app taken down from Google Play Store; payment disruption for services cited
Troubled edtech firm Byju's app has been taken down from the Google Play Store due to disruptions in payments for its services, according to sources familiar with the matter. However, other apps from the edtech company — including Byju's Exam Prep, which supports students preparing for competitive exams like Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Master of Business Administration (MBA), and University Grants Commission National Eligibility Test (UGC NET), and the Think and Learn Premium app — remain available on the platform. While Byju's website is still operational, several of its key services are facing technical issues. Features such as booking free sessions for students in classes four to nine and the Byju's Early Learn programme, designed for learners up to grade three, are currently showing server errors. Coaching operator Aakash Institute , a subsidiary of Byju's parent company Think & Learn, continues to operate as usual. Byju's and its resolution professional (RP), Shailendra Ajmera, did not respond to ET's request for comment. The company is currently managed by Ajmera, who took over as the new RP in February. Live Events The app and website-related disruption was first reported by Moneycontrol. Discover the stories of your interest Blockchain 5 Stories Cyber-safety 7 Stories Fintech 9 Stories E-comm 9 Stories ML 8 Stories Edtech 6 Stories The edtech firm, which was once valued at $22 billion, is currently in the midst of insolvency proceedings that began last year after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) moved the NCLT to recover Rs 158 crore that the company owed it for a sponsorship deal. Founder Byju Raveendran , who has been actively sharing his views on the company's situation and its ongoing legal battles through social media, recently outlined the next phase of Byju's 3.0. This new phase focuses on moving away from profit-centric strategies toward a more purpose-driven approach. He stressed that the focus would be on improving learning outcomes, particularly for students in the bottom quartile. Raveendran also admitted that taking the $1.2 billion term loan in 2021 was a mistake, particularly given the availability of equity options at the time. Currently, Glas Trust, which represents the US lenders who lent the $1.2 billion to Byju's, is pursuing a legal case against the edtech company in the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT). Glas Trust is also a part of the committee of creditors at Think & Learn.

Prof. Banerjee also pointed out that participants would be learning from the same world-class faculty who teach in the Institute's full-time MBA programs, and equally from their peers. Stressing the importance of continuous learning, he described upskilling as a strategic imperative in the modern world. He encouraged those with entrepreneurial ambitions to leverage the Institute's incubation support, mentorship, and funding opportunities. Prof. Banerjee concluded by expressing his hope that by 2027, participants would graduate not just with a degree, but as transformed leaders equipped to shape the future. Addressing the cohort, Prof. Amish Dugar encouraged participants to embrace their Executive MBA journey with commitment and enthusiasm. He introduced the 'Five Ps' as guiding principles for success: Prepare, Participate, Presence, Perseverance, and Pleasure. He advised participants to prepare thoroughly to make the most of the opportunity, to engage actively as peer learning is a vital component, and to be fully present in every session. Acknowledging the demands of the program, he emphasized the importance of perseverance during challenging phases and reminded them to find joy in the learning process.

Going to University of Tennessee graduations? Avoiding campus? Schedule, parking, bag info
It's one of the busiest times of year for the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, as students prepare to graduate after final exams under a new commencement schedule that consolidates ceremonies and shortens the weekend. This big change to graduations, happening May 15-17, was implemented to accommodate growing enrollment and retention, as well as the addition of new colleges over the past five years. Additionally, UT's two biggest colleges − the College of Arts and Sciences and the Haslam College of Business – continue to award a majority of the degrees UT bestows to students each year. This is the first year UT has changed commencement to a format that will see multiple colleges graduating together instead of individual events, while the two biggest colleges are splitting up students into different ceremonies. 'While predicting exact numbers isn't possible, (the university's special events team) used historical data to project similar ceremony sizes, aiming to balance across all ceremonies the experience for graduates and their guests," UT spokesperson Tyra Haag told Knox News. "After this year, the events team will evaluate whether this reimagined model supports continued growth while preserving the quality of the celebrations.' So, don your best business casual and learn what you should know about spring 2025 commencement ceremonies at UT. Number of ceremonies: Eight Location: Unless otherwise noted, Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center, 1600 Phillip Fulmer Drive. Capacity: Around 14,000 seats for guests. Doors open: One hour before each ceremony. Projected length: Two to two-and-a-half hours for each ceremony. The times for speakers will be shortened to keep the focus on students, Haag said. Student check-in: No later than 30 minutes before the start of the ceremony. Number of graduates: Three of the ceremonies are projected to have more than 1,400 students attending. UT calculates each student invites about eight guests. Access: Tickets are not required, and there's limit on how many guests can attend. Seating: First-come, first-served. Thursday, May 15 10 a.m. - College of Law graduating Doctor of Jurisprudence and Master of Legal Studies students (Student Union Auditorium) 4 p.m. - Doctoral Hooding for all Ph.D. programs.

Parking is free for graduating students and guests in non-commuter and commuter core parking lots, as well as in garages across campus.

UT recommends four main parking areas near the arena: G-10 garage: Located near the arena and Neyland Stadium, G-10 can be accessed via the Neyland Drive entrance.

G-16 garage: This garage, located on Volunteer Boulevard near the Rock, can be accessed via Pat Head Summitt Street. For guests of the College of Veterinary Medicine graduation, UT recommends parking in the Volunteer Hall garage or in Staff Lot 9 across from Neyland Stadium. The Commuter Core 4 parking lot on the agriculture portion of campus has additional accessible parking and a free shuttle to the arena. If parking is full on campus, the Knoxville Civic Coliseum parking garage also will provide parking and a shuttle running 7 a.m.-5 p.m., dropping off guests off at the intersection of Chamique Holdsclaw Drive and Lake Loudoun Boulevard. Campus employees will be working on Thursday and Friday, so be mindful and avoid parking in staff lots. Construction also will be happening on campus, primarily on Phillip Fulmer Way. Students and guests should bring as little as possible for quick entry into the area. Security screenings will be in place at each entrance on the concourse level. A clear bag policy will be in effect, meaning guests can bring one clear plastic bag no larger than 12x6x12 inches. Guests can also bring a small clutch purse 4.5x6.5 inches or smaller, which applies to wallets too. No other bags are allowed, and all items are subject to a search.
