The admission process at government degree colleges and constituent degree colleges under Mangalore University has been sluggish this season due to the state government's plan for three PU examinations. Candidates are likely to decide their academic plans only after all the results are announced, leading to a delay in admissions. Some colleges have seen a decrease in the number of applications as candidates are waiting for the results before making decisions. The trend of lower admissions in traditional degree courses is also attributed to the post-pandemic scenario and the introduction of NEP-2020 in undergraduate education.
Several private schools in Noida have announced an early summer break due to the looming heatwave alert. The UP education department has directed primary schools to close early for summer vacation. Temperatures are expected to reach 45 degrees Celsius, prompting schools to take precautions for the well-being of students.
