Nagpur University Announces Common UG Admission Schedule Today Nagpur: Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University (RTMNU) will announce the common admission schedule for first-year undergraduate courses on Wednesday, providing clarity for students and parents. The delay in releasing the schedule had caused confusion, particularly amid recent changes under the National Education Policy (NEP). With Class 12 results from both the state board (HSC) and CBSE already declared, many students awaited clear timelines for registration, merit lists, document verification, and the start of classes before finalizing college preferences. Vice-Chancellor Manali Kshirsagar confirmed that the circular detailing the admission schedule has been finalized and will be issued on Wednesday. The university officials stated that the admission process will follow a centralized schedule, similar to previous years, to ensure uniformity and streamline admissions across affiliated colleges. The delay in the schedule had disrupted admission planning for students applying to multiple institutions and professional courses. Uncertainty over timelines affected their ability to make informed decisions about college preferences. Kshirsagar emphasized that the centralized approach aims to address inconsistencies and provide a structured process for all affiliated colleges. Separately, major student organizations met Vice-Chancellor Manali Kshirsagar on Tuesday to raise concerns about academic and administrative issues at Nagpur University. Representatives from NSUI, the Nationalist Students’ Congress (Sharad Pawar faction), Yuva Graduate Forum, and the Nagpur University Students’ Organisation participated in the discussion.#manali_kshirsagar #national_education_policy #nsui #rashtrasant_tukadoji_maharaj_nagpur_university #nationalist_students_congress
Nagpur University Introduces Special Provisions for Students Facing Exam Date Clashes Nagpur: Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University has announced special provisions for students whose Summer-2026 examinations coincide with government eligibility tests or competitive entrance exams. According to a circular issued by the university’s examination section, affected students can apply for alternative arrangements. Applications must be submitted to the director of the student development department through respective college principals, along with copies of hall tickets and attendance proof for overlapping examinations. The university stated that a separate circular outlining rescheduled dates or alternative arrangements will be issued after verifying the applications. Director of the Board of Examinations and Evaluation, Motiram Tadas, emphasized that the decision aims to ensure students do not miss crucial career-related examinations. University officials noted that the number of affected students is typically small in most cases, making the postponement of university examinations impractical. They explained that the summer examinations are already delayed and will continue until July. Officials warned that any reshuffle at this stage would impact a larger number of students, highlighting the logistical challenges of adjusting the schedule amid existing delays. The university’s announcement addresses the growing concern among students about conflicting examination dates, which could disrupt their preparation for important competitive exams. The process requires students to provide documentation to substantiate their overlapping commitments, ensuring the university can assess each case individually.#nagpur_university #rashtrasant_tukadoji_maharaj_nagpur_university #motiram_tadas #summer_examinations #student_development_department

Around 20 of these ventures are actively seeking investments, with the total amount requested ranging between Rs 6 crore and Rs 8 crore, according to Deepak Menaria, director of Lemon Ideas. The conclave showcased a diverse array of ideas, from travel solutions to life-saving technologies.

Notably, Alexander mentioned that demand for desert safaris in war-torn regions remains strong, underscoring the resilience of tourism as a business. Among the standout innovations was a GPS-embedded life jacket developed by Taeja Dadi, an engineer from Pudimadaka, a fishing village near Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh. Dadi, who holds a patent for the device, explained that drowning incidents among fisherfolk have claimed many lives, often leaving bodies unaccounted for. The life jacket, which can track drowned individuals and alert nearby rescue teams, is part of his startup Alert 24. Dadi is seeking Rs 2 crore in investment to scale the project, which he believes could also benefit oil rig workers and seafarers.#lemon_ideas #viksit_bharat_startup_conclave #rashtrasant_tukadoji_maharaj_nagpur_university #vidarbha_economic_development_council #join_habibi
