In an utter surprise, the admissions process of Delhi University has been postponed this year irrespective of the fact that the results of state and central board exams have been declared much earlier, than the previous year.
Notably, the High Court had directed the boards to schedule the examination and results in such a manner that it will allow sufficient time to students to appear for admission in central universities, especially the University of Delhi.
Earlier, there were reports that the admission will begin by April-end, and then it was postponed for May 21. However, on May 24, the Delhi University is yet to decide on the date to kick-start the application process.
The foremost reason behind the delay, as explained by a varsity official, is that the Delhi University is trying to incorporate new tech-based initiatives for making the varsity’s admissions process smoother for students.
One of these initiatives is the ‘online calculator’, which will be added on DU admissions portal and mobile-applications. It will calculate and inform students about their best score for the subjects they are applying for, thereby eliminating the confusion among students about selecting the best of four.
On the other hand, DU has asked the National Testing Agency (NTA) to conduct the online entrance exams for admission to Delhi University. The NTA has given its nod to the proposal and the DU academic council is expected to set the guidelines for the entrance exam now. However, there are internal rifts in the university that might delay the process further.
Besides, there are some new admission rules which are to be implemented from this year onwards. One of the major changes is that University is planning to give extra benefits to students belonging to rural areas, in term of relaxation in pass percentage. Though, the final verdict is yet to come.
All these reasons combined are responsible for the evident delay in the Delhi University admission process. Last year, the admissions began from May 15 but now in the third week of May, the dates are not even decided.
“India was somehow not a leader in the previous three Industrial revolutions. Our honourable Prime Minister keeps telling us on various platforms – India is going to be the torchbearer for Industrial Revolution 4.0. It is a very huge transformative trend that we are seeing around,” said Navin Mittal, Commissioner, Collegiate and Technical Education Department, Government of Telangana
He was speaking at the 10th Higher Education and HR Conclave 2019, Chandigarh, orgainised by Elets Technomedia and powered by digitalLEARNING. Mittal was one of the key speakers at the event and inaugurated the summit along with other key dignitaries at the event.
Elaborating his thoughts on the fourth Industrial Revolution, Mittal said, “There are three significant trends which we are seeing all over the world. The first one is industry 4.0, which is a big shift from industry 3.0. It was about basic use of Information & Technology, basic development of Information & Technology in last five to six decades”.
“But now we are in the threshold, and I would say at a transformative time on industry 4.0, which is all about blend of humans and machines. It is significantly the gap between humans and machines. And we are finding this whole transformation which is happening in front of our eyes. In terms of artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, nano technology. We can see this amazing-amazing transformation which is happening,” he explained.
Mittal, in his address, also congratulated Elets Technomedia on completing 16 successful years of operations.
He said, “I am happy to know that Elets has completed 16 years on March 12 , 2019. I must say Elets is doing wonderful work in various sectors. Whether it is in the sector of governance, especially smart cities or whether it is digitalLEARNING in the sector of education. Also in the sector of health, banking, finance in startup space.”
“I have been associated with some of these sectors in terms of participation and also co-organising some of the conferences with the help of Elets Technomedia. The level of participation and the way conferences are organised, I must say it has been a wonderful experience. Some great learnings have taken place through these conferences. I personally attended them and also co-organised few conferences. It’s been a wonderful learning experience,” he added.
Further, expressing contentment on being a part of 10th HEHR Summit, Chandigarh, Mittal said, “I am happy being part of the 10th Higher Education and Human Resource Conclave Chandigarh. There’s been a wide participation not from academia but also from industry and Government. So, this is one platform which brings the three together – academia, industry and Government. Some very good deliberations have taken place in this conclave which will help to bridge this gap between the three and ensure that the outcome and output of our higher education sector is useful for the other two. This will bridge the gap between the two and bring polished initiatives and supportive structures, which will help to connect both higher education as well as the human resource sector”.
Notably, Navin Mittal has been associated with Elets Technomedia from a very long time. He was also among the key speakers at the 9th Higher Education and Human Resource Conclave, Hyderabad, which took place on 4-5 February 2019.
Considering that agriculture only contributes a total of 15.87% in the country’s service sector Gross Value Added (GVA), it’s important that the agriculture and allied sectors develop enough to contribute a larger share, writes Dr Amol Gawande, Assistant Director-Placement, Global Business School and Research Centre, Dr D Y Patil University, for Elets News Network (ENN)
Venkaiah Naidu, the Vice President of India, once said that agriculture is the backbone of the Indian Economy and should, therefore, be a priority for the Government. The Vice President also mentioned that there is a huge need to bridge the gap between urban and rural India so that the country can progress towards being the third largest economy in the world. The first place to focus on, therefore, is Rural India since it has become a hub for economic activities with agriculture playing an important role.
Dr Amol Gawande, Assistant Director-Placement, Global Business School and Research Centre, Dr D Y Patil University
However, the bigger question is how does a country with a large youth population focus on developing its rural sectors. The solution to this problem comes in the form of agribusiness and competent agribusiness professionals.
What is agribusiness?
In simple terms, it’s the business of agricultural production. Various public and private sector organizations are in the business of carrying out these activities. It encompasses all the activities related to agriculture. It includes agrichemicals, breeding, soil management, weather forecasting, crop production, distribution, farm machinery, processing, seed supply, plant protection, crop nutrient management, harvesting, marketing of produce, storage, supply chain operations, financing, food processing, retailing etc.
For those aspiring to be an agribusiness professional, an MBA in Agribusiness is the fastest route to success. An MBA in Agribusiness is a two-year full-time course offered by various business schools. These business schools have curriculums designed to ensure that they shape the youth of today into competent management professionals prepared to succeed in the agriculture and food industry.
The next question is why should you opt for an MBA in agribusiness? Let’s take a look at some statistics that can answer this question.
According to the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), the Indian agricultural services and machinery sector has attracted an inflow of foreign direct investment (FDI) of USD 2,278.3 million from April 2000 to March 2016
According to IBEF, The GDP of agriculture and allied sectors in India stood at USD 244.74 billion in the financial year 2016
According to IBEF, India is the largest producer, consumer, and exporter of spices and spice products. India is the second largest fruit producer in the world and the third largest in terms of farm and agriculture outputs
Agricultural export accounts for 10% of the country’s exports and is the fourth largest commodity to be exported.
The Government has also spearheaded various initiatives to ensure that India’s agricultural and rural sector witness massive growth in the coming years.
According to IBEF, the Union Budget 2018-19 announced the start of an Agri-Market Infrastructure Fund to develop and upgrade the infrastructure in 22,000 Grameen Agricultural Markets (GrAMs) and 585 APMCs. 42 mega food parks were also sanctioned in 2017 out of which eight had been made operational by July 2018.
Over the past few years, studies have identified various trends that can directly affect a nation’s economic growth with the help of agriculture and its allied sectors. Here is a look at two of these trends:
Economic development and pro-poor growth
In low-income countries, the engine that propels economic growth consists of tradables such as agriculture, IT, Tourism, and manufacturing. Agricultural trade plays a significant role in this growth. Therefore, governments must increase the income that filters through rural India with the help of policies like extension services, land redistribution, and better access to credit which will ultimately help agricultural trade to flourish.
Linkages between agricultural and non-agricultural sector
“The rural non-farm sector is a poorly understood component of the rural economy of developing countries and we know relatively little about its role in the broader development process,” as stated in “The Rural Non-Farm Sector: Issues and Evidence from Developing Countries” by Lanjouw.
Increased rural income from crop production can affect various regions where income is re-spent on local goods and services. These effects are called “agricultural growth linkages,” and are an important element in improving the rural industry. In recent years, discussion about inter-sectoral linkages in agriculture has increased and has led to the identification of five types of linkages:
Providing food for domestic consumption,
Releasing labour for industrial employment,
Enlarging the market for domestic industrial output,
Increasing the supply of domestic savings,
Earning foreign exchange
Therefore, it’s easy to understand that pursuing a career in agribusiness will put you on a path to success. Let’s take a look at what your career will look like after you graduate with an MBA in Agribusiness. You can choose to work in:
Sales
Marketing
Supply Chain Operations
Research and Consulting
Strategy and planning
Academic position
Entrepreneurship
You can occupy the following job roles:
Agribusiness Managers
Research Analysts
Marketing Managers
Human Resource Managers

Retail Industries such as Big Basket, Reliance, Ninja Kart, Futures Group etc.
Post-harvest companies like NBHC, NCML, Cargill, ADM, Bunge, LDC etc.
Several emerging industries such as e-commerce players are also potential employers.
A nation’s socio-economic development is directly linked to its agriculture sector. With the help of Agribusiness, you can play a major role in developing your nation and ensuring that it reaches newer heights.
“By 2022, Telangana Social Welfare and Tribal Welfare Residential Education Institutions Society (TSWREIS) will be able to impact about 10 lakh students in Telangana by having at least 1,500 institutions,” said Dr R S Praveen Kumar, Secretary, Telangana Social Welfare and Tribal Welfare Residential Education Institutions, Government of Telangana
Dr Kumar was sharing his thoughts during the 9th Higher Education and Human Resource Conclave held in February this year in Hyderabad. He described about the initiatives taken under TSWREIS. He stated, “As of now, we have 877 institutions. We target most marginalised sections of the society. Our Government is taking initiatives to bridge the societal gap and provide marginalised section the best possible facilities.”
Describing about the practices and efforts made at TSWREIS to impart quality education to marginalised children of society, Dr Kumar said, “As of now we have around four lakh students studying in the residential school under TSWREIS free of cost. Telangana Government spends around Rs 62,000 on every student other than providing infrastructure. All schools are English medium schools. We have facilities at par to that of in country’s private or government schools. Recently we have started building the infrastructure for our institutes.”
He also revealed the methods followed by TSWREIS to recruit good teacher so that the focusremains on student-centric learning. Dr Kumar further said, “Earlier, we used to recruit teachers from Telangana Public Service Commission but now we have our recruitment board. The minimum qualification for our teachers is a postgraduation degree. TSWREIS is more women centric in terms of providing education. We have two girls school on every boy’s school.”
TSWREIS is also working to improve the condition of girl education. Describing about few such initiatives, the senior bureaucrat said, “In 2016, we have started an audacious experiment to provide education to girls. As among the poor families of Telangana girls got married at early age due to lack of education. Such girls suffer a lot and to improve girls’ education in, Telangana Government has provided us 53 degree colleges. It helped us to save 20,000 girls from getting married at very young age. These girls are doing amazingly well and some of them have even postponed their marriages for sake of education.”
“The colleges under TSWREIS are performing better than the universities and colleges in Telangana. It can be understood by the fact that in universities, average pass percentage is 30-40 percent whereas in residential institutes of TSWREIS, the pass percentage is around 80-85 percent,” Dr Kumar added.
He also stressed on the need to modify the curriculum as per the industry needs and also described the initiative of TSWREIS in this regard. According to him, “It is important to drive innovation in the curriculum of our schools and colleges. Students must be taught the subjects which are relevant as per the industry requirement. In the institutions under TSWREIS, we try to offer curriculum which is relevant as per the latest trends and industry requirement.”
“We are presently at the threshold of Industrial Revolution 4.0 wherein the new tools like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, Internet of Things (IoT), and Robotics will be implemented jointly to improve the outcomes. These technologies will be embedded with already existing equipments/technologies to transform our working methodologies,” said Navin Mittal, Commissioner, Department of Collegiate & Technical Education, Government of Telangana.
While addressing the 13 th World Education Summit Mumbai last year, he highlighted and discussed various topics relevant and important for improvement in education sector.
During his speech, Mittal discussed how industrial revolutions were started and how it impacted the human life. In this regard he started with very first industrial revolution and said, “Industrial Revolution 1.0 happened in 18 th century in the Europe when the steam engine was invented. The use of steam has helped the industries to boost their product outcomes multifold. The use of steam has helped the industries to boost their product outcomes multifold.”
“Second industrial revolution happened in Europe and the US in the later years of 19th century when electricity, communication, magnetism and combustion engines were invented. The combination of all these technologies has helped in transforming the line of production across the world,” Mittal further said.
He also shared the details of the countries that drove the various industrial revolutions across the world. In the context of Industrual Revolution 3.0, Mittal said, “Third Industrial Revolution happened in the US and Japan but it is expected that the Industrial Revolution 4.0 will happen in India and China. These two countries will drive the next Industrial Revolution and that’s why we have a tremendous opportunity.”
“Industrial Revolution 3.0 was just around 50 years back when Information Technology (IT) came in. The use of miniaturised electronic circuits has felicitated the IT revolution across the world. It transformed the large computers into very small machines and also changed the way world works,” he added.
Explaining about how Industrial Revolution 4.0 will facilitate the better connect between human and techonology, the senior bureaucrat said, “Now the likely Industrial Revolution 4.0 through the cyber physical connect is also likely to transform what we do completely in the coming years.”
Referring the Gurukul system which used to be followed in India, Navin Mittal highlighted some key aspects of it. He said, “The Gurukul system was not just about learning a subject or two, it was about the holistic development of students. At a very young age, students used to start living with their Gurus so that they can learn the skills needed to be successful in every sphere of life.”
Along with technology, Mittal also highlighted the importance of extracurricular activities. According to him, “While on one hand extracurricular activities help students to develop holistically, on the other, it is important for the present education system to collaborate with edu-tech industry for bringing innovation in teaching-learning processes.”
The motive of early childhood education is to develop life skills in a child. The major brain development happens from 0-8 years. So, it becomes very crucial the kind of daycare set up your child is going, writesJyoti Sharma, Assistant Centre Manager, Little Big World, for Elets News Network (ENN).
As the term, daycare in early childhood education signifies it is all about taking care of very young group of people. In this context, a question pops out that how should be my class setup. We are dealing with very sensitive humans so the class should be in a way that boost and help their overall development. In the classroom, everything should be at the reach of the child. As we have to work on their overall skills the class environment need to be safe and child friendly.
First and most important thing in a class set up is that it should be educational, hygienic and engaging for the children. Have you ever entered a daycare and observed how pleasing a classroom looks to you. Is the class enough attractive and mind stimulator that child will be happy while you are away for so long time. Here, I am sharing some important tips, with you how to make classroom set up child friendly.
In order to teach them different life concepts divide classroom into different corners. The benefits of dividing different corners in a class are to build discipline in them and motivate them to be more organized, and self-dependent in their life.
THE STUDY CORNER: The study corner should be designed in a way that grabs attention of a child. It should look interesting and should ooze a positive vibe for the child. At this tender age, we cannot force children to sit and study and we need to do it in a playful way. We need to ensure we are rich in our resources and everything is easily approachable to them. All the materials in the class should be at the children level. The corner should have sufficient study material in the form of books, pencils, colors etc. In order to encourage a child for their independent behavior child should be given freedom to use the resources. Although they need to understand concepts, so we just need to guide and supervise them.
READING CORNER: This corner should be a comfortable place for children where they can relax and read books. This corner is the peaceful place of the class with the main motive of increasing vocabulary and life skills with the help of books. The selection of the books should be age appropriate, as infants need more of picture books while grown up need books with rich source of vocabulary. The teacher can do picture talk and can ask open-ended questions to the children. As infants and toddlers are in their sensorimotor stage, so it is important to keep touch and feel books in the class. This corner can be used to keep stuffed animals to give them a cozy feel.
BLOCKS OR MATH’S CORNER: This corner can involve toys and other resources that are helpful to boost their mathematical concepts for example they can use blocks to learn counting and concept of tall/short etc. The duplo blocks, stacking rings, knob puzzles, toy cars etc. all are powerful learning tools for children. They help to build spatial reasoning, enhance their fine motor and engineering skills. This corner needs to be stuffed with manipulative and open-ended toys to help children boost their creativity and imagination.
ART CORNER: The art corner should have all the stuff related to artwork. The aim of this corner is to develop their artistic skill. This corner should be full of artistic things like crayons, colors, pencils, papers etc. We need to give them freedom with their art as they try to represent their emotions and experiences through art. They are naturally curious people and their bucket is always full of questions.
They can use their self-directed unstructured art as a language to depict their experiences. This corner serves as an important tool to enhance their pincer grip and overall cognitive development.
DRAMATIC CORNER: The children love to do role-play. They follow the actions of adult and try to imitate it. This corner can involve dresses related to different professions, animals, dolls, mask, telephone, kitchen corner etc. Children learn a lot from dramatic play and that help them understand their world better. It is an important part of class to increase their social-emotional skills. The children generally start pretend to play from 18 months and we need to encourage it.
The class should be well organized and clean with all the necessary things in it. As infants and toddlers love to explore world through their mouth due to their sensorimotor developmental stage. It is important to keep only non-chokable items in the class. The children need safe place to crawl, jump and hide so they need room to push, pull, ride and run. By keeping, plenty of toys will give them opportunity to enhance their gross motor skills. It is important to keep in mind do not over stuff your classroom set up as child will not be focused due to so many options available. All the stuff needs to be labeled with name and pictures on the label so that it will be easy for children to understand during clean up time. The children should be given freedom and opportunity to use their skills instead of showing them end
product of everything.
Delhi Government has reportedly granted permission to 59 private schools to increase their fees by 5-10 per cent. These schools are operating on the DDA land in the national capital.
According to the rules, the schools operating on the DDA land need to take permission from Directorate of Education before considering any fees hike.
Notably, there are 301 schools in the city which fall under this category. Out of these 267 had approached the DoE regarding the increase in fees.
Speaking on the latest development, a senior DoE official said, “After detailed audit of the schools, 59 of them which were in deep shortage of funds have been allowed to hike the fees by 5-10 per cent. The fee hike will be limited to tuition fees only”.
Interestingly, last year AAP government withdrew the DoE’s order – which allowed the schools for “interim fee hike” up to 15 per cent in accordance with the recommendations of seventh pay commission. However, the DoE had put the condition to schools to get their financial accounts audited by the government in a fixed period of time.
The Delhi government, opposing the decision, had said that the schools would have to obtain prior permission from it before increasing their fees and any hike would be permitted only after an audit of the schools’ accounts.
Thereafter, the Delhi schools moved the High Court on the matter. They were able to secure a stay on the order by a single bench. On the other hand, Delhi government had approached a double bench, which ruled in its favour on the issue.
“Technology based education is becoming more and more prevalent. So how do we adopt that, especially, from the quality assurance perspective? How do you teach the students of tomorrow with the teachers of yesterday? How do we equip the teachers to move to the future? So these are the challenges that we all face,” said Chocko Valliappa, Founder & CEO, Hiremee, while speaking at the 11 th Higher Education & Human Resource Conclave Pune 2019.
Valliappa was speaking during the conclave in a panel discussion on – Changing Dynamics of Higher Education in a Globalised Context: Envisioning Strategies for Future.
Talking about the need of changing education system with change in nature of jobs, Valliapa said, “The world is heading towards Industry 4.0 and the amount of metamorphosis the world is going to see is enormous. One million jobs are going to be displaced; one million people are going to be displaced. New jobs are going to come. It is considered the around 600 different types of jobs will be introduced. So, how our education system will be in sync with that changed world? No one knows the kind of jobs likely to be available in the future”.
Elaborating his opinion, Valliappa said, “Today, we are talking about Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) but how these technologies are going to change the manufacturing scenario. If manufacturing industry changes, what manufacturing engineers will be doing? They may need to be into robotics. Similarly, how electrical engineers will work in smart grid environment?”
Referring the Bill Gates, Principal Founder, Microsoft, who talked about nuclear gas cylinder in one’s backyard that will power the complete household energy needs for next 20 years, Valliappa raised various issues relevant for energy usage and management. He said, “How energy resources and energy management are going to change? We are now talking about electrical cars, so, how is that going to make things different? We are talking about smart mobility, so how’s that going to happen.”
He also talked about future needs of Civil Engineering jobs, saying, “There are talks about Mumbai and Pune being linked with Hyperloop. If that happens what is going to be the Civil Engineering requirement because it is going to change in that. If talking about textile engineering, how’s smart textile engineering is going to happen and how it is going to support the world for its betterment.”
Citing the example of his own company, Vallipa explained how people rejected HireMee when it was introduced two years ago. HireMee is a mobile-based online assessment platform providing fresher’s jobs linking corporates, students and colleges.
“Recruitment is changing. So when we came with Hiremee model two years ago, we said that every student must be accessed through mobile phones sitting in the comfort of th eir home. People said unless companies come to campus it will not succeed.
“Today large IT companies have allowed the applications anywhere like TCS, Cognizant. If you pass the Cognizant exam you will get employment. That’s how it is changing,” he stated.
Talking about hiring packages in the industry, Valliapa said, “Today students who have no soft skills means only education and no employability, the package is one lakh, with employability it comes to 3 lakhs and with technical skills it comes to 4 lakhs. If they know programming it comes to 6 lakhs but if they know algorithm it comes to 14 lakhs.
He concluded saying that there is an urgent need to bridge the gap between education and employability and that’s what industry is asking the educational institutes to do. Further, he highlighted how educational needs a lot more liberalisation in the country and with International Universities coming to India the competition will increase.
“Now this has to be understood, at the school level as well that we need to care, we need to worry about underprivileged (that’s our definition of underprivileged) and perhaps take some of the lessons from our earlier ways of imparting education – not only in India but all over the world. There is no need to become critical that this culture is great or that,” said Prof Kripa Shankar, Former Deputy Director of IIT, Kanpur and Ex Vice Chancellor of AKTU, Lucknow.
Talking about his experience as the vice-chancellor, Prof Shankar said, “When I became the vice chancellor – Uttar Pradesh, the State with 75 districts and 22 crore population, had 750 technical institutes but only one technical university. Moreover, these 75 districts collectively contribute to the growth of the nation through the university – Uttar Pradesh Technical Universoty (UPTU) much more than the premier technical institutes of India.”
“It’s a fact that the in terms of people involved with different organisations in the country, UPTU has contributed more than any IITs in the country. But for the reasons very obvious, we do take pride in being associated with any of the IITs,” he added.
Further elaborating about the present education system and what needs to be changed, he said, “This elitism is one issue in our society, be it IIT or anything else. Since education, unlike any other community does not belong to a particular class but it belongs to all – poor, rich. Therefore, one of the issues that remain for the education – school as well as higher education – is that we are talking about something for the masses.”
“The point is we need to create something not for the consumption of tomorrow or day after. We need to create, at the school level, the citizens of the society for the years ahead. So the life cycle of a school’s output is not to be measured in line with an electronic appliance or a building,” he added.
Talking about the Government’s concern about employability and the possible solutions for it, Prof Shankar said, “At present, we hear from the Government about people being able to have the employment or jobs. In other words, they should be able to earn the breads. The one way to do this is to transform the resources into products and services, which will be accepted by the society. If the appropriate transformation of resources happens in India, the employment ratio will increase.”
Thereafter, Prof Shankar drew the attention of the audience at the event towards the un-proportionate transformation of resources, “I would like to draw your attention that somehow transformation of resources in the country is not proportionate. It’s not up to the mark. That’s why the instrument that we use 24 hours/day is not created here. Who’s responsible for this?”
“In my opinion, IITs are responsible for this. But remember the string doesn’t begin at IIT neither ends at IIT. The string goes even to the school level. The creativity in a human being cannot be and should not be taught at IIT level at the age of 17 years. The creativity in person needs to be cultivated at the level when a child is born,” he asserted.
Concluding his speech, Prof Shankar highlighted the utmost significance to understand the school education system and said, “So, a synergy between the parents, school and higher education appears to be our main agenda. However, irrespective of the education, we all go through the same process of coaching – then some are selected some are not – suicides happen. We need to stop all this.”
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has requested the Delhi University (DU) to align the admission process as per the schedule fixed by the CBSE. The CBSE has written a letter to Registrar of Delhi University in this regard.
The CBSE revaluation process, as per the dates announced, will start on May 24. On the other hand, Delhi University is all set to start the admission process. This has caused tension among students of CBSE appeared in class 12 this year and are looking to apply for revaluation process.
It has happened after confusion erupted regarding CBSE revaluation schedule and its possible effects on Delhi University undergraduate admission, which are expected to begin soon.
Notably, CBSE, in a first, had announced the Class 12 results on May 2, much ahead of the schedule following a High Court directive which asked the board to complete the revaluation process before the DU admissions begin.
When the results were announced, a CBSE released a statement clearing board’s stance on High Court directive, “CBSE will be completing its re-evaluation process also at the earliest. Now, Delhi University has to fix the last date of submission of application form for admission in Delhi University in such a manner that the work of re-evaluation is over prior to the last date of Delhi University admission process”.
The board had also kick started the exams 15 days earlier this year, as compared to its traditional dates.
On the other hand, other major boards like, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar have announced the Class 12 results in last one month.
