Rajasthan farmer's daughter defies odds, tops RBSE 12th exam
In a remarkable journey of perseverance and determination, a young girl from Suratpura, a small village near Rajgarh in Rajasthan, has emerged as one of the top scorers in the Class 12 state board examinations in the science stream. Scoring a near-perfect result — full marks in all subjects except Hindi, where she lost just one mark — Preeti Puniya has made her village and family immensely proud. Hailing from a humble background, she comes from a farming family that leads a modest, agriculture-based life. She has two brothers and lives in a joint family with her uncle and aunt. Despite the limited resources, she never allowed her circumstances to limit her aspirations. The RBSE Class 12 result was announced on May 23. Among the regular candidates, girls have outperformed boys in the Science stream with a pass percentage of 99.04 per cent, compared to 98.41 per cent of boys. A total of 1,01,727 girls passed the Class 12 Science exam. On the other hand, 1,64,657 boys passed. Puniya leads a disciplined life. 'I used to wake up at 4 am and study till 6 am, followed by household chores before going to school. After returning, I helped at home again and then focused on studies,' she said, adding that she took the help of Physics Wallah (PW) classes. Interestingly, she did not own a smartphone. Her elder brother, who attends college, would download the required classes and study material for her. This arrangement did not deter her spirit; instead, it motivated her to make the most of what was available. She studied in Sarvodya Public School, Rajgarh, and had previously scored 97.33% in her Class 10 board exams in 2023. A student from the PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) stream, she has a deep interest in Chemistry and aims to pursue graduation while preparing for the prestigious UPSC examination. Talking about handling stress, she admits it wasn't easy. 'There were times when I couldn't even express how I was feeling, but my family was supportive, and that made things easier,' she said. Mridusmita Deka covers education and has worked with the Careers360 previously. She is an alumnus of Gauhati University and Dibrugarh University. ... Read More

IndiGo to restore 80 grounded planes by 2026; airfares may ease slightly
IndiGo is expected to return most of its grounded planes to service by early 2026, boosting its active fleet by nearly 80 aircraft in the financial year 2025–26 (FY26), according to a report by The Economic Times. This increase is about twice the airline's typical annual addition of 40 planes. Grounded aircraft to rejoin operations Currently, around 40 of IndiGo's planes are grounded. With improved engine supply from Pratt & Whitney (PW) and longer engine life between repairs, approximately 30 of these will return to active service. The remaining 10 will be released back to lessors as their lease terms expire. Will fares come down as capacity rises? IndiGo's current operating fleet stands at 434 aircraft. The planned expansion could help moderate airfares, which have remained elevated due to capacity constraints. However, aviation analysts caution that since some of the additional capacity will be used to launch new international routes, any drop in domestic fares may be limited. Engine issues contribute to recent financial pressure IndiGo's financials have been strained due to engine-related groundings. The number of aircraft powered by PW's geared turbofan engines and currently grounded has exceeded 40. Combined with high aviation turbine fuel prices, these issues led InterGlobe Aviation Ltd — IndiGo's parent — to post a ₹987 crore consolidated loss in Q2 FY25, compared to a ₹189 crore profit in the same quarter the previous year. Strong Q4 performance boosts annual outlook Despite the Q2 setback, IndiGo posted its highest-ever consolidated net profit in Q4, with a 61.9 per cent year-on-year rise to ₹3,068 crore. Strong travel demand during the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj, an extended wedding season, fewer grounded planes, and better cost management contributed to the gains. For FY25 overall, IndiGo's profit stood at ₹7,258 crore — an 11.2 per cent decline from FY24. Rare defect detected in A320neo engines Pratt & Whitney previously flagged a rare powder metal defect in engines used on A320neo aircraft, which could cause component cracking. In September, it announced that 600–700 engines would require detailed quality inspections between 2023 and 2026. To mitigate the disruption, IndiGo extended leases on older A320ceo aircraft and secured both narrow-body and wide-body aircraft on wet lease agreements.
