LNAT Test, being the world's leading law school admissions test administered by the LNAT Consortium based at the University of Oxford, is a standardised test of reading comprehension and logical thinking. It has no questions on law, general knowledge, mathematics, or anything based on rote learning. Students can take the LNAT anytime, anywhere in the world at over 500 centres during the test window.

Tata Motors eyes rare earth magnet sources, has enough stocks: Chandrasekaran
Tata Motors Ltd has enough stock of rare earth magnets, and the company is scouting for new sources amid China's export curbs, Tata Sons chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran said. 'As of now, we are OK; we are not facing any issues. We are able to source the magnets we need, and are working on securing alternative sources of rare earth magnets,' Chandrasekaran said at the company's 80th annual shareholders' meeting on Friday. 'We are working with the government (on the issue).' Tata Motors, India's largest automaker by revenue, is among numerous businesses affected by China's export curbs on rare earth magnets, which are critical in automotive, aerospace, and electronics industries. Though the curbs were imposed in April as a trade war between the US and China and flared, the two rivals have since reached a deal. However, exports to India remain blocked, and domestic companies are pushing the government to engage Chinese officials to ease supplies. Chandrasekaran's comments on the rare earth magnet issue come a day after R.C. Bhargava, chairperson of Maruti Suzuki India Ltd, India's second-largest automaker and largest carmaker, said his company's stocks of rare earth magnets will last until July. On 11 June, Reuters reported that Maruti Suzuki had cut near-term production targets for its maiden electric vehicle e-Vitara by two-thirds because of rare earth shortages. The e-Vitara was expected to launch before September end. Out of the 54 shareholders who posed questions at Friday's virtual AGM, a fourth referred to rare earth magnets and the situation on the US tariff front. The chairperson also addressed the concerns of shareholders on US tariffs. 'The tariff impact will be primarily on Jaguar-Land Rover. Tariff has gone up from 2.5% to 27.5%, and under the UK-US FTA, the tariff is 10%. The overall impact would have been 1.6 billion pounds. But due to the steps taken by JLR, the impact has gone down to 600 million pounds, which is visible in the margin guidance,' Chandrasekaran told shareholders. JLR, the British subsidiary of Tata Motors, has trimmed its guidance on revenue growth to 5-7% for FY26 from 10% mentioned earlier. The company attributed the reduction to the impact of the tariffs and the slowdown in the Chinese market. In an interview with Mint earlier, Shailesh Chandra, managing director at Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, said that rare earths are required for both internal combustion engine vehicles and electric vehicles. China said on 4 April that companies seeking rare earth magnets must submit applications with end user certificates to the Chinese embassy, which then go to the provinces from where magnets are sourced. After approval from provincial authorities, the Chinese commerce ministry has to approve the applications. So far, no Indian company has received approval to receive shipments of these critical items. As per industry estimates, it takes about 45 days to get approval. Bajaj Auto Ltd's executive director Rakesh Sharma said during the company's earnings call on 29 May that the industry will face production cuts starting July if the situation is not resolved. However, Tata Motors' leadership remains confident that the situation is under control and will likely be resolved. Chandrasekaran said the Tata Group will continue its investments in the electric vehicle business, and will likely achieve the 30% penetration target in its overall portfolio before 2030. This was Chandrasekaran's first appearance at a Tata Group company annual general meeting this year. Earlier, he skipped the AGMs of Tata Consumer Products Ltd (TCPL) and Tata Consultancy Services on 18 and 19 June, as top Tata Group officials attended to the crisis over the Air India crash in Ahmedabad on 12 June. The AGMs of TCPL and TCS were presided over by board members P.B. Balaji and Keki Mistry, respectively. Chandrasekaran also condoled the deaths from the AI accident, and requested the board members and shareholders to observe a minute of silence. 'My thoughts are with family and friends who lost their loved ones and I know, we have the same feeling,' Chandrasekaran said in his opening address. 'This has been a long and unsettling week for all of us as a nation, as a group and at a very human level, navigating a very deep sorrow, grief and uncertainty all at the same time.' The chairperson also spoke of Ratan Tata, the group's chairman-emeritus who died last October. 'I had the opportunity to constantly share updates with Ratan Tata about the business in the last few years. While we all miss him, I want you to know that he would have been very proud of the turnaround of the business as Tata Motors was very close to his heart,' Chandrasekaran told shareholders.

India Becoming Powerful Player In Science And Tech: UK Minister
London: The UK must harness scientific and academic relationships with India as it becomes an increasingly powerful player in the science and technology space, Britain's minister for science, research and innovation has said. During a session on 'Unlocking UK-India Collaboration for a New Era of Innovation' at India Global Forum's Future Frontiers Forum at the Science Museum in London on Thursday, Lord Patrick Vallance called for greater mobility of high-skilled professionals through the Global Talent Visa and the need to tap into complementary skills across all sectors. The minister revealed the UK government's much-anticipated Industrial Strategy would be released in a few weeks, forming the blueprint for focus areas for such a partnership with India. "There is already a strong relationship between India and the UK, and I think it's growing," said Vallance. "But government-to-government relationships on science aren't actually what drives everything. It has to be a scientist and a scientist as well. There are important academic links. I'd like to see more of that as India becomes an increasingly powerful player in the science and tech space," he said. The forum was addressed by Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal earlier on the sector-wide benefits of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) struck between the two countries, as it "adds value to science and technology and innovation". "A Free Trade Agreement demonstrates to the world that the two countries are friends, allies, and plan to work together closely; they trust each other," said Goyal. Vallance concurred and highlighted: "India has its focus areas, we have ours, now we need to create opportunities across those sectors." Lord Ara Darzi, the British surgeon behind a seminal review of the National Health Service (NHS) and much-needed areas of reform, hailed India's "transformative health solutions" as the "intellectual and production power" the UK must collaborate with. The forum also included a 'Pitchers and Punters' curated showcase of Indian start-ups pitching to a jury of international investors. Among the standout companies were Zypp Electric, Lina Energy, Steamology Motion Ltd and Electric Miles - with Zypp Electric winning this year's Clean Tech Award presented by British renewable energy group Octopus Energy.

Kids under 16 may soon face social media ban after Australia proves it has tech for age verification
Australia is preparing to become the first country in the world to enforce a nationwide ban on social media use for children under the age of 16. This bold move now appears increasingly likely after a major government-backed trial found that age verification technology can work both effectively and privately. The Age Assurance Technology Trial, involving over 1,000 school students and hundreds of adults, tested how well current tools could verify a user's age without over-collecting personal data. The trial was overseen by the UK-based nonprofit Age Check Certification Scheme (ACCS), and the results are being seen as a key step towards making Australia's proposed legislation a no significant tech barrier to age assurance in Australia,' said Tony Allen, CEO of ACCS. Speaking at an online briefing, Allen acknowledged that no system is perfect, but emphasised that 'age assurance can be done in Australia privately, efficiently and effectively.'Although some tools may collect more data than necessary, Allen stressed the importance of balance. 'There's a risk some solutions over-collect data that won't even be used. That's something to watch.'Here is how the system will work At the heart of the proposed verification model is a layered approach. It begins with traditional ID-based checks using documents like passport or driver's licence. These are verified through independent systems, and platforms never directly access the estimation adds another layer: users can upload a selfie or short video that AI analyses to determine age. This method is quick and does not store biometric data. A third component – contextual inference – draws from behavioural patterns such as email type, language, and digital behaviour to further estimate a user's age. While not reliable alone, it helps strengthen the system when used with other these technologies aim to prevent children from easily bypassing checks while also respecting December 2025, platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat and X will be required to take 'reasonable steps' to keep underage users off their services. If they fail, they could face penalties of up to A$49.5 million (which is about US $32 million) per platforms, including YouTube, WhatsApp and Google Classroom, are exempt for now. Australia's move is being closely monitored by other countries, including the UK, New Zealand, and members of the EU, all of which are exploring ways to regulate children's access to social media. The Australian government sees this trial as proof that privacy and child protection can go hand in hand. A spokesperson for the eSafety Commissioner's office reportedly called the findings 'a useful indication of the likely outcomes from the trial', and added that when deployed correctly, the technologies 'can be private, robust and effective.'Despite the positive trial results, there are still some caveats. Children may try to bypass age checks using VPNs, shared devices or borrowed credentials. It will now be up to social media platforms to detect and prevent these workarounds – a responsibility they've rarely shouldered at this scale In
