#Important: The University of Delhi (#DU) has opened the first phase of #undergraduate #admissions for the 2026-27 academic session, even as the revised Class 12 results of nearly 20,000 CBSE students who sought re-evaluation are still awaited.

To address concerns among affected candidates, DU has asked students to enter their pre-evaluation Class 12 marks while registering on the Common Seat Allocation System (#CSAS) portal. The marks can be updated once the CBSE declares the revised results.

"Class XII CBSE students who have applied for re-evaluation but have not yet received their revised scores should enter their pre-evaluation marks in the CSAS portal. They can update their marks once the revised results are declared. Students need not worry, as the CSAS portal will remain open for several weeks, giving them ample time to make the changes," DU Dean of Admissions Haneet Gandhi told ANI.

According to the sources, the requirement of studying at least two Indian languages under the new language policy will be implemented prospectively from Class VI and will not be applied retrospectively to students already studying in Classes VII, VIII and IX.

Amid controversy over Kannada R3 book, NCERT has clarified that it has named its language textbooks after rivers of India. The name “Krishna” is named after the Krishna River. The Hindi textbook has been named as “Ganga”, the English textbook has been named as “Kaveri”, and the Urdu textbook has been named as “Jamuna” (Yamuna). Similarly, the Kannada textbook has been named as “Krishna” as it is one of the major rivers flowing in Karnataka.

A balanced diet has been covered in Chapter 6 of this textbook. It is also covered under a separate heading, ‘Balanced Diet’ on page 63. The illustrative image given on page 63 includes both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food items. Nowhere in the textbook is vegetarianism explained or justified, nor is non-vegetarian food opposed.

20,179 Palestinian children killed since October 2023.

That's one of the key findings cited in a new UN Commission report led by Indian jurist Justice S. #Muralidhar.

The report alleges that Palestinian children were deliberately targeted during the war in Gaza and says these actions help establish what it describes as genocidal intent.

Israel has rejected the findings, calling the report a "libellous sham."

[UN Human Rights Council Investigative Bodies @uninvhrc]

Israeli forces have killed over 20,000 children & injured 44,000 more since 7 Oct. 2023, Srinivasan Muralidhar, chair of the @UN Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory & Israel, told reporters today. #HRC62

NTA DG Abhishek Singh on Re-#NEET

This was as error free and as flawless as it can be….we are able to conduct an examination which is not only glitch free, but which is also a zero error examination

[Vishu Adhana @vishu_reports]

Of the 1.68 lakh students who sought verification of marks and re-evaluation, results for nearly 1.47 lakh students, representing about 87 per cent of applicants, have been announced. We expect the remaining results to be declared in the next couple of days," a senior education ministry official told ANI.

NEET is also being conducted in 14 international cities, including Abu Dhabi.

[aree_shuklajii @th_anonymouse]

Let’s assume the candidate chose the wrong exam centre.

If I were a student and selected Edinburgh as my preferred centre, would NTA even allow it? Aren’t candidates supposed to choose centres located only in India?

Why was that even an option?

[Vishu Adhana @vishu_reports]

On Abu Dhabi centre controversy, NTA clarifies that Abu Dhabi centre was chosen by candidate only

“NTA's web-activity records indicate that the city change in this case was made through the candidate's own registered login during the open correction window, with a consistent single-user access pattern.”

#NTA #NEET

[National Testing Agency @NTA_Exams]

Reference the issue with regard to allotment of a centre in Abu Dhabi to a candidate in Nagpur, NTA would like to state the following:

Following the rescheduling of NEET (UG) 2026 to 21 June, the National Testing Agency reopened the examination-city correction window to assist candidates.

Key points:

High success rate: Around 3.2 lakh candidates used the correction window, and NTA allotted the preferred examination city to over 99.5% of them.

On the 'Abu Dhabi' query: NTA's web-activity records indicate that the city change in this case was made through the candidate's own registered login during the open correction window, with a consistent single-user access pattern.

Immediate Resolution for
Last-Minute Requests: Despite the Abu Dhabi centre being chosen by the candidate, the NTA received an informal request on the evening of June 19 (just 48 hours before the exam) to change the centre to Nagpur. NTA personnel immediately initiated the change and contacted the candidate's father on 19th evening itself to help them complete the formal process.

NTA has observed that on 3 occasions, one - the centre was changed to Abu Dhabi using candidate’s credentials and twice it was previewed that the centre is Abu Dhabi. Despite that NTA has accorded to aspirant’s request and the change of centre was actioned.

A "Student-First" Approach: The NTA's priority is that no candidate misses the examination over an administrative doubt.

Abdullah Mohammad Talib, who was allocated centre in Saudi Arabia for Re-NEET mistakenly, has now been assigned a centre in Nagpur

NTA DG Abhishek Singh told me that the issue has been resolved and the “candidate has now been allotted a centre in Nagpur.”

[ANI @ANI]

#WATCH | Nagpur, Mahrashtra: Family of a NEET aspirant, Abdullah Mohammad Talib, claims that he was allocated a school in Abu Dhabi as his exam center for NEET-UG re-exam scheduled to be held on 21st June.

His father, Mohammad Talib, says, "...After the admit card was downloaded at 4 pm yesterday, we found the Centre mentioned to be a school in Abu Dhabi. We were really shocked as we had not given anything as such in our options. We dialled up the helpline number. They told us to send them a mail. When we sent a mail, we received a call that we will be issued a fresh admit card by 4 pm on Saturday. We had given 3 districts as options but we now demand that Nagpur be given us as the Centre because he is shocked. There is no time to go to any other district. He cried a lot yesterday and did not even want to write the exam. But his mother tried to convince him. If he is convinced, he will appear for the exam. He does not even have a passport..."
