DU UG admission 2021: University likely to announce admission process today

-

The University of Delhi (DU) will be conducting a conference meeting on the college admission process today, 17 July. As per a report by NDTV, the meet will be chaired by the vice-chancellor and was slated to begin at 12 pm.

The conference meet is likely to focus on how the University of Delhi will be taking in eligible students for undergraduate programmes. The meeting is being held amid the coronavirus pandemic as various state boards have started announcing the Class 12 exam board results on the basis of alternative assessment criteria.

This year, most of the board and state examinations were cancelled due to the rise in coronavirus cases across the country. Last year, the Delhi University admission process was conducted online due to the same reason.

Usually, colleges associated with Delhi University declare a cut-off for various programmes. After that, interested and eligible candidates who the cut-off  criteria register themselves to the respective colleges in the city. According to varsity norms, the Delhi University cut-off marks are the percentage scores obtained by students in Class 12 board examination.

Reports suggest that this year the Delhi University undergraduate admission process may have a different process. The would be due to the cancellation of Class 12 board exams by reputed boards including Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) this year.

The varsity might hold the Central Universities Common Entrance Test (CUCET) to admit students to undergraudate courses or it may take into consideration Class 12 scores.

Acting Vice-Chancellor PC Joshi had on 2 June stated that the University of Delhi will adjust the admission process to the extraordinary situation but will not compromise on merit.

If the CUCET is held, it will be considered for admissions and if it is not, then the admission process will be based on the board exam evaluation, he had said, adding that CUCET can be a good method as it is based on all-India merit.

The university is awaiting guidelines on the CUCET from the Ministry of Education.

According to a report by the Indian Express, Dean Admissions Pinki Sharma recently said that the admission process for undergraudate courses is likely to start between 1 to 3 August, after the CBSE announces Class 12 results.  However, these dates are tentative and the final announcement will be made by the registrar, Sharma said.

This year too the registration process will be online.

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
