JNVST 2021: Navodaya Vidyalaya Class 6 exam rescheduled for two MP districts, check details here

-

The Class 6 entrance test for the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test (JNVST) has been rescheduled by the Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti (NVS) for the Sheopur and Shivpuri districts of Madhya Pradesh. The test, which was earlier scheduled to be held on 11 August was postponed for administrative reasons.

The new date of the JNVST 2021 for these districts is 26 September, as per the official notification. Students can download the admit cards from the official website https://navodaya.gov.in.

The JNVST 2021 for Class 6 students was held in other districts on 11 August for a duration of two hours in English, Hindi, and the regional language of each state. The test had three sections- language, mental ability, and mental arithmetic. The paper comprised 100 marks, with 80 objective-type questions.

The test was conducted at 62 centres across the country. About 2,41,7009 candidates had registered for the exam, out of which 47,320 will be selected.

Separately, the admissions for Class 11 at the JNVs were conducted till 26 August. Students will be selected on the basis of their Class 10 grades. Applicants should have obtained the grades from a recognised educational institute, located in the state where the JNV is based, as well as affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) or any other recognised board for the academic year 2021-22.

The JNVs were instituted to provide high-quality, modern education to students, primarily from rural areas. The schools provide the admitted students with free education, lodging, textbooks, food, and uniforms. Till Class 8, regional languages are the medium of instruction. Post Class 8, English is the medium of instruction for imparting knowledge in Science and Mathematics while Hindi is used for Social Sciences.

The JNVs are scheduled to reopen in a phased manner for classes 9 to 12, “as per the notification of states/UTs which have permitted re-opening of schools,” according to the Ministry of Education.

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?

-
Image
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
