Yoga, Zumba, mental wellness in focus as student suicides shake Kota

From Yoga sessions and Zumba classes to 24X7 helpline, and mental wellness workshops to a dedicated team of counsellors on campus -- coaching institutes in Kota say they take multiple measures to help students get through the stress and anxiety of preparing for competitive exams. The coaching hub of Kota is back in focus after three students died allegedly by suicide last week. Prominent coaching institute Allen, which currently has over 1.5 lakh students in its various medical (NEET) and engineering (JEE) entrance preparatory courses, runs special programmes such as "Tum Hoge Kamyab" (you will succeed) and "Wings of Wisdom", besides regular yoga sessions and zumba classes, for the mental wellbeing of its students. "We have a dedicated helpline which works round the clock and over 50 concerned calls from students or parents are addressed daily through it," said Dr Harish Sharma, Principal Counsellor and Student-Behaviour Expert at Allen. "For every 10 students we have a supervising

Trouble at CUET as admit cards mention dates which have already passed

Several Common University Entrance Test (CUET)-UG aspirants are claiming that the exam dates mentioned on their admit cards have already passed while the date intimated to them earlier was different. The debut edition of CUET, which has been split into six phases, has been marred by glitches so far causing exam cancellations at multiple centres and postponement of exams for several candidates. However, the rescheduling of the exam for several candidates and attempts to accommodate the choice of city for exam centre, has left students a worried lot as their admit cards and city intimation slips are mentioning different dates. The students have been reaching out to the National Testing Agency (NTA) and the University Grants Commission (UGC) requesting for another chance to appear in the examination. Yuvraj Singh Chauhan from Jodhpur in Rajasthan was intimated that his exam is scheduled on August 10. When he downloaded his admit card on August 7, he was shocked to see that his exam da

ASO written exam to be held on Aug 27; CPSE Paper I postponed amid glitch

The examination for the post of assistant section officer, which was postponed in view of the dislocation caused by heavy rainfall and flood, will be conducted on August 27, the Odisha Public Service Commission said on Saturday. The commission announced the new date two days after postponing the written exam, which was originally scheduled to be held on Sunday. The move came as a relief for thousands of job aspirants who were demanding to reschedule the examination. Around 4 lakh people in 12 districts are reeling under the impact of the deluge caused by the Mahanadi following incessant rain. Meanwhile, Odisha Police Recruitment Board chairperson Sudhanshu Sarangi said Paper 1 of the Combined Police Service Examination (CPSE) for recruitment to the posts of sub-inspectors, scheduled to be held on Saturday, has been postponed because of "software issues". Protests erupted after candidates failed to download the question paper on the computers at many examination centres. Regrettin
