-

Due to the current COVID-19 situation in the country, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) has decided to postpone the Institute of National Importance Combined Entrance Test or the INI-CET 2021.

The exam was scheduled to take place on 8 May. Candidates, who have registered for the exam, can visit the official website aiimsexams.ac.in to check the details.

The new dates for the entrance exam will be announced soon.

The notice reads: "In view of the evolving situation related to COVID-19 outbreak, the competent authority of AIIMS has decided to postpone the conduct of INI-CET entrance examination schedule in May 2021."

This exam is conducted for admissions to the postgraduate medical courses which include MD, MS, DM (6 years), MCh, and MDS for the July session.

Recently, AIIMS also postponed the Supplementary exams and Practical tests.

The hall tickets will be released on 30 April on the official website. Candidates need to properly check the admit card, which will have details including the candidate’s name, address of the exam centre and reporting time.

Earlier, AIIMS had uploaded the INI-CET application status for candidates to check their forms so that they can make the required changes. The last date to do so was 23 April. Meanwhile, applicants whose application forms have been rejected will get a notification on their online portal.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
