DU to release withheld results of students given second chance
New Delhi: Delhi University is preparing to release the results of 12 undergraduate students from the 2017-18 batch nearly a year after they appeared for their final exams, held under a provision for those who had failed to complete their degrees within the stipulated time. The move is part of a broader effort by the university to address academic disruptions and pending students had appeared for their remaining exams in two cycles — Nov and Dec 2023 and Jan, May, June and July 2024. However, their results have remained withheld for close to 10 months. Following multiple representations made by students and internal deliberations, officials said DU planned to release the results shortly."The (standing) committee (on academic affairs) after due consideration has decided to accede to the requests of the students for an extension of one year within the span period in exceptional circumstances. The results of such students are withheld by the examination branch," the committee noted in its minutes of a meeting. It added that the examination branch would be requested to declare their about the reason behind the delay, DU controller of examination GS Tuteja said he wasn't aware of the matter. "There must be some issue why their results were not released. It could be a college-level issue, I will have to look into each case before saying anything," he said. Meanwhile, DU is also set to give a one-year extension to 27 master's, Bachelor of Mass Communication and LLB students who took admission in 2019 and whose studies were significantly disrupted during the pandemic. These students will be allowed to appear for their remaining exams in the coming months. This extension is being granted in light of the Covid-related academic disruptions.A few individual cases have also been cleared on a special case basis and humanitarian grounds. One of them is a senior railway official who is pursuing an executive MBA from Faculty of Management Studies. He has been granted a special opportunity to complete his course under a provision introduced during DU's centenary year for exceptional case involves a visually impaired student from Faculty of Music, who could not complete his degree due to illness. He can now sit for the remaining exams as a special case. Three more students whose academic progress was derailed by Covid-related disruptions have also been granted officials said these decisions were in line with DU's approach to support students facing genuine hardships. "These are not blanket extensions, but are carefully considered cases where students had valid reasons for falling short," said an official. DU had earlier allowed time-bound reappearances for students who had exhausted their maximum time for completing a degree, especially during and after Covid-19. The current decisions reflect the continuation of such efforts—providing a "second chance" to students caught in extraordinary situations.

76% Indian employees willing to trust AI, 90% report increased efficiency: KPMG study
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making rapid advances in various fields around the world. A recent study by KPMG has revealed that 76 per cent Indians are willing to trust AI. According to the report, 90 per cent of respondents admitted that AI improved accessibility and effectiveness are making AI a transformative force in the country. Also, 78 per cent said that they are concerned about the negative outcomes from AI with 60 per cent experiencing a loss of human interaction due to AI. While 67 per cent respondents felt that they couldn't complete their work without the help of AI, 97 per cent Indians admitted that they intentionally use AI at work. 'India stands at the cusp of a remarkable AI-powered future. With 90 per cent of Indians expressing approval of AI and 94 per cent anticipating a wide range of benefits, the data reflects a strong sense of optimism about what AI can achieve for the country. This enthusiasm points to current transformation and a hopeful trajectory where AI enhances accessibility, productivity, and innovation across sectors,' said Akhilesh Tuteja, head of technology at KPMG in India. Tuteja added that at the same time, concerns around risk such as reduced human connection highlight the importance of thoughtful, responsible AI governance. 'These insights offer a valuable lens into how India can harness AI for inclusive and ethical growth.' The finding was published in the report titled 'Trust, attitudes and use of Artificial Intelligence: A global study 2025' led by Professor Nicole Gillespie, Chair of Trust at Melbourne Business School at the University of Melbourne and Dr Steve Lockey, a research fellow at Melbourne Business School in collaboration with KPMG. The study surveyed over 48,000 people from across 47 countries between November 2024 and January 2025. The latest report from KPMG sheds light on how Indian users perceive and use AI, underscoring opportunities and challenges in the AI landscape. 'The public's trust of AI technologies and their safe and secure use is central to sustained acceptance and adoption.' said Gillespie. Key findings Among the 58 per cent of employees who intentionally use AI, 31 per cent use it weekly or daily globally. When it comes to India, 93 per cent of employees report that their companies use AI, and 97 per cent intentionally use AI at work. However, the use of AI is also bringing complex challenges for organizations. Nearly half of the employees worldwide admit to using AI in ways that go against company policies, including uploading sensitive company information into free public AI tools. In India, 67 per cent of employees feel they couldn't accomplish their work without AI, and 81 per cent rely on AI outputs without verifying their accuracy. At the same time, globally, 66 per cent rely on AI output without evaluating the accuracy, and 56 per cent are making mistakes in their work due to AI. In India, 70 per cent of employees have used AI in inappropriate ways, 73 per cent have made mistakes due to AI, and 72 per cent have used AI in ways that contravene company policies and guidelines. According to the report, what makes these risks challenging to manage is that over 57 per cent of employees worldwide hide their use of AI and present AI-generated work as their own. When it comes to India, as many as 83 per cent of companies have an AI strategy in place, 86 per cent offer training in responsible AI, and 80 per cent have policies governing the responsible use of AI. 'The findings reveal that employees whose use of AI at work is delivering performance benefits but also opening up risk from complacent and non-transparent use. They highlight the importance of effective governance and training and creating a culture of responsible, open and accountable AI use,' said Gillespie. On the other hand, 82 per cent of employees in India reported that AI has increased their efficiency and improved the quality of their work. As many as 77 per cent noted increased revenue-generating activity. However, over 44 per cent also reported increased workload, stress, and pressure.

Trump's tariffs may spike freight costs by 30%; India set to ride the supply chain shake-up
iStock India's shipping sector navigates a complex landscape shaped by US tariffs, presenting both challenges and opportunities. Experts suggest India can leverage its competitive advantages and favourable tariff exposure to enhance its global trade position by diversifying export strategies and negotiating beneficial market access. India's shipping and logistics sector is bracing for both turbulence and opportunity, as the reciprocal tariffs imposed by the Trump administration in the US have dramatically altered global trade flows, upending supply chains. With freight costs rising and cargo volumes shifting, experts say that Indian companies are facing unprecedented supply chain pressures along with new opportunities. Industry stakeholders unanimously agree that Trump's tariffs have affected interconnected supply chains, leading to changes in freight rates, rerouting cargo, and forcing logistics providers to re-examine traditional routes. Higher freight, spiked costs Sateshwar Tuteja, Director of Sales at shipping firm Jeena & Company, explains that global factors like supply and demand, fuel prices, and disruptions mainly affect freight rates, but ongoing high demand on certain routes, like India-US due to trade diversion, can give shipping companies more control over their prices and potentially increase costs for shippers, benefiting logistics‑intermediary margins if managed the silver lining, Tuteja, however, cautions that expanded US duties could dent cargo volumes on affected lanes, adding to already mounting customs scrutiny, longer dwell times, and 10-14% higher compliance costs. Asked about sectoral pressures as witnessed by his company, he says, 'India-US freight rates have risen by 18% year-on-year. Over 40% of Indian apparel exporters have shifted operations to Vietnam and Bangladesh, and major lines are preparing for a 25% capacity reduction on US‑bound routes. Industries reliant on imports are already facing a 12-15% cost increase, offsetting the country's reshoring gains. Trump's sector-wide tariffs on Indian exports will mainly impact telecom, gems and jewellery, auto components, and processed foods, which together are valued at over $21 billion in annual trade.' Despite looming challenges, Tuteja emphasises that India maintains a competitive advantage, which enables it to navigate the current turbulent period. 'India's relatively moderate tariff exposure compared to other countries like China (imposed with up to a 245% tariff) positions us as a competitive alternative for global manufacturing. A 17% increase in warehousing demand and a 12% surge in foreign manufacturing interest reflect this shift. India could leverage this large tax gap vis-à-vis China by adopting firm and strategic policy measures with efficient export strategies, including market access negotiations, to create scope for trade diversification to the US.' A mixed bag for India According to industry experts, US tariffs could trigger a 30% freight hike. Alan Barboza, Executive Director at Flomic Global Logistics, describes Trump's tariff offensive as 'a mixed bag for global trade—and possibly a windfall for India'. 'If the 90‑day tariff pause extends and Trump's 'up to 245%' levy on Chinese goods holds, Indian exporters could gain a critical edge, especially in low‑cost manufacturing sectors,' he says. Since the tariff announcements, Barboza says, booking queries for breakbulk and loose cargo have jumped 14-17%, particularly from Gujarat and Tamil Nadu. Air cargo demand is also up, led by pharmaceuticals and perishables bound for the US East Coast. 'With carriers set to trim US-bound capacity by 25 %, Indian logistics firms must adapt—consolidate loads, optimise multi-port routing, and invest in compliance excellence to stay globally competitive in a fractured trade landscape.'Meanwhile, rising geopolitical tensions and stuck consignments in China are also stoking fears of a global container crunch. Jitendra Srivastava, CEO of Triton Logistics & Maritime, cautions that trade tensions with China could trigger a 30% freight hike. He adds containers stranded in Chinese ports due to tariffs and uncertainty risk creating global shortages. 'Shipping lines will raise rates to recoup costs as volumes fall. For India's medium and small exporters, this could mean sharply higher logistics bills. If China's export woes persist, we could see freight‑rate swings of 10–30% across regions as early as next month,' cautions Srivastava. Seizing the upside According to experts, India's logistics sector faces a turning point, as rising freight rates, shifting shipping capacity, and growing compliance issues exacerbate its challenges. However, experts highlight that India's moderate tariff structure, expanded market access via CEPAs, and growth in warehousing and manufacturing create an opportunity to redefine its global trade role. Industry observers also see an opportunity if the US pause on tariffs extends beyond 90 days. Surendar Singh, Associate Professor of International Business at O.P. Jindal Global University, argues India must act swiftly: 'We have a chance to capitalise on these shifts, but we need concrete measures. The Ministry of Commerce should pinpoint high‑potential products and partner with industry to seize emerging opportunities.' Notably, India is currently in the process of negotiating a bilateral trade agreement with the US. However, Singh flags that meeting US demands related to agricultural products remains challenging for India due to its complex domestic political economy. As a solution, Singh advocates a 'selective approach' to a US trade deal that includes reducing tariffs on certain industrial goods to somewhat please US interests but avoids negotiating sensitive areas like government procurement, IPR, digital trade, and environmental standards.
