Tripura Boards 2021: Class 10, 12 exams to be held for important subjects only

-

The Tripura Board of Secondary Education (TBSE) has announced to conduct Class 10 and 12 examinations for important or selected subjects only. Earlier in May, the board had postponed Class 12 and 10 board examinations that were supposed to begin from 18 and 19 May due to the second wave of coronavirus.

Education Minister of Tripura, Ratan Lal Nath informed today, 29 May that due to the pandemic, examinations for papers in the Madhamik (matriculation) and senior secondary grades will not be possible.

“Due to coronavirus it is not possible to conduct the examination of all the subjects of Secondary and Higher Secondary Schools in the state,” Nath said as per The Indian Express report.

The Education Minister also informed that the exams for students would be conducted in ‘certain papers’ only and a decision on this was recently taken. Meanwhile, if the situation permits, the exams will be conducted with a 15 days’ notice, he further confirmed.

The TBSE President, Dr Bhabatosh Saha also asserted that a team of officials has decided to conduct exams in three subjects of Class 10 and few subjects of Class 12 and a decision on the matter will be made in June.

"As it is not possible to conduct exams in all subjects in the pandemic, we have decided to conduct exams in three subjects of Class 10 and few subjects of Class 12. We are expecting to come to a decision on the matter in June", said Saha.

This year, a total of 26,610 students are appearing for Class 10 examinations and a total of 27,205 candidates for Class 12 exams. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most of the schools have postponed the offline classes.

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

Aditya L1 Mission: Spacecraft is nearing its final phase, says ISRO chief

-
Aditya L1 spacecraft is nearing its final phase, and manoeuvres to enter the L1 point are expected to be completed by January 7, 2024, according to ISRO Chairman S Somanath. “Aditya is on the way. I think it has reached almost its final phase,” the ISRO chief told PTI on the sidelines of an event organised at VSSC to commemorate the 60th year of the First Sounding Rocket Launch. Aditya L1, India’s first space-based mission to study the Sun, was successfully launched on September 2 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in Sriharikota. The spacecraft, after travelling about 1.5 million km from Earth over 125 days, is expected to be placed in a Halo orbit around the Lagrangian point L1, considered closest to the Sun. He said that the last preparations for the spacecraft’s entry into the L1 point are currently underway incrementally.”Possibly by January 7th, the final manoeuvres will be done for entering into the L1 point,” Somanath added. Among other tasks, it will capture and tr
