Uiimaa! The JEE, India's toughest entrance exam for admissions in the IIT has failed to get the best on board this year. Or so say authorities. Coaching classes have been enabling the not-so-intelligent students to crack the test. But my point is, the one who has cracked the test has surely worked hard, if he/ she has. So, whats the hungama? Just change the format if you doubt the abilities. What say junta?

Contact the Delhi Student's Anti-ragging Squad then. Yes, a whole bunch of students in Delhi University have taken it up on themselves to stop ragging. They are doing the rounds in the campus and catching hold of anyone who's found doing the act. They will also install CCTV cameras on campus so they can curb eve-teasing and ragging. Fine. But what about couples doing their act? Will that also be on camera?? Talking of MMS clips...

Not literally though, the students of St Xavier's College, Ranchi decided to do just the same to the stringent dress code imposed on them. No tight T-shirts, no round collared T-shirts, no wearing jeans with more than four pockets, no sleeveless, no tight tops, no leaving hair open... To top it all, no sunglasses! Students obviously, didn't abide by them and were seen sporting sunglasses and tight Ts all the same. Way to go, I say.

If there's one sensible thing that the State Board of Education has done this year, it has to be the opening of a new centre at Nair hospital to facilitate students with Learning Disability (LD), a
la Eeshan Awasthi in Taare Zameen Par. The state will now issue certificates to these students from two centres in Mumbai - Sion hospital as well as Nair hospital. Parents are much relieved and so are students who do not have to sweat it out at Sion hospital in long queues. This certificate is…

Worry not! Digital dissection is here! In fact, I thought its pretty late for something like this to show up in the field of modern Science.
