DU to kick off undergraduate admissions this week
New Delhi: Delhi University is set to open the first phase of its undergraduate admission process this week under Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS). Following the release of CBSE Class XII results and the conclusion of CUET-UG, DU will begin online registration on its portal. Admission will be based entirely on the CUET-UG 2025 scores, and the initial phase requires applicants only to submit basic personal and academic details, upload essential documents such as category or EWS and PwD certificates, and verify their CUET scores already linked to their profiles. Candidates must first log in using their CUET roll number, provide their information and scan/upload documents. While CUET scores auto-populate on the portal, applicants must ensure the accuracy of all submitted data as this foundational phase precedes the selection of courses and colleges in subsequent rounds. To assist applicants, DU has activated a helpline. Aspirants can email ug@ or call 011-27666073 for support. Simultaneously, DU has opened a correction window for postgraduate and BTech applicants who applied by June 9.

Stay away from caste and religion, Vijay tells students
Chennai: Actor and TVK president Vijay on Friday strongly condemned BJP govt at the Centre for trying to paint a caste colour on social reformer Periyar E V Ramasamy, one of the five ideological mentors of TVK. At a function to honour toppers of SSLC and Class XII held in a private hotel in Mamallapuram, Vijay asked students to stay away from caste and religious divisive ideas. "Like narcotic substances, we should keep caste and religion away from us. It is good for all... Never allow divisive ideas to disturb your mind," Vijay said. "Are farmers cultivating based on caste and religion? Are labourers manufacturing products based on caste and religion? Does nature differentiate based on caste and religion?" Vijay asked. Hitting out at BJP govt, Vijay said, "In the recently held UPSC exam, they tried to paint a caste colour on Periyar. We strongly condemn this." Asking students not to get emotional on any issue, Vijay said students should have a technical and scientific approach-based thinking as it is the only way to survive in the AI-dominated world. "The sky is vast and wide, and you have strong winds. So, feel free to fly like a bird with courage, conviction, and confidence," Vijay said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dermatologista recomenda: simples truque elimina o fungo facilmente Acabe com o Fungo Undo Asking students not to get stressed about NEET, Vijay said, "The world doesn't end with NEET.

Ahmedabad: Two youths make it to IIM, script stories of defying difficulties with hardwork
From working at a wholesale footwear shop at the age of 14 at a monthly allowance of Rs 1,500 to a job of a 'chowkidar' in the Ahmedabad cantonment area for a salary of around Rs 19,000 to cracking the Common Admission Test (CAT) and confirming a seat for himself in Indian Institute of Management (IIM)-Shillong — 27-year-old Dipesh Kewlani, a resident of the city, has come a long way. The story is similar for 21-year-old Suraj Soni from Chaloda village in Dholka, as financial constraints could not stop or break either of them. After Dipesh's father died when he was 11 and his younger brother Dinesh six, the family shifted to Ahmedabad from Jaipur in 2009 with the help of Dipesh's maternal uncle. A postgraduate in commerce from HL Commerce College in Ahmedabad, Dipesh still works at the Army station. He says he could not afford to quit the job. 'Me and my brother completed our education on scholarships and with the help from community-run trusts. My mother would also do small embroidery works from home. When in Class XII, I learnt about a vacancy for a chowkidar at the Army hospital. I took the exam and got the job even before my Class XII results were out in 2017,' Dipesh told this paper. Dipesh, who has secured a seat in IIM-Shillong, has his fingers crossed as he awaits a call from IIM-Lucknow too. The turnaround, he says, came when his younger brother Dinesh completed his MBA from IIM-Lucknow and got placed in Hyderabad. 'I was aware about MBA and IIMs after I completed Class XII as many of my friends enrolled for coaching classes. But I had to work to sustain my family and fund my brother's education. After he got through IIM-Lucknow and got placed, I started preparing for CAT alongside my job,' he said. Meanwhile, Suraj, a first-generation graduate whose mother works as a domestic help and father as a peon, would commute 80 km in public transport and walk over 4 km every day to HL College of Commerce in Ahmedabad. 'There was no one in the family to guide or help me with my preparations. My father has studied only till Class VII and works as a peon at a residential society at a salary of Rs 10,000-11,000, while my mother, who studied till Class II, works as a domestic help in Makarba area, along with farming. With limited employment opportunities in the village, all three of us take the bus to commute from our village to Ahmedabad. Due to financial constraints my elder brother had to quit studies and take up a job at a factory in Bavla,' Suraj told this paper. Suraj, who studied in a Gujarati-medium government school in the village, says it was initially very difficult for him to cope up in an English medium college. However, he did not give up and read translation books, English newspapers and practiced with friends. 'During my college days, I had attended a free session where I learnt how MBA could help. I enrolled into a coaching institute, which even slashed the fee for me looking at my financial condition and allowed me to pay in installments. I paid the token amount of Rs 90,000 on Sunday to get my admission at IIM-Shillong confirmed. My father collected the money from the members of our community,' he says. 'I knew I had to support my family. Nobody in my family went to college because they had to earn. I worked hard, but I could not have done it had my family not worked hard.'
