CBSE has announced major curriculum changes under NEP, including the three-language formula from Class 6 and a two-level system for mathematics and science from Class 9 starting in the 2026–27 academic session. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has introduced a refreshed curriculum, marking the beginning of major academic changes from the 2026–27 session. As part of this update, a phased rollout of the three-language formula will begin from Class 6, officials confirmed on Friday. Under the framework of the National Education Policy (NEP), the three-language system will officially come into effect for Class 6 students starting in 2026. Alongside this, CBSE will also bring in a two-level structure for Class 9, offering students the option to choose between standard and advanced courses in subjects like mathematics and science. This move aims to provide greater flexibility and allow students to learn at a pace and depth that suits their academic needs. The economic logic of sin taxes: Why they are a form of fiscal morality Languages will now be taught through a structured three-language framework divided into stages—R1, R2, and R3. As per the recommendations of the new National Curriculum Framework (NCF), at least two of these three languages must be Indian. Continuing its phased approach toward multilingual education, the board has decided to make a third language compulsory from Class 6 starting in the 2026–27 academic session. This move aims to ensure that every student learns a minimum of two Indian languages, a senior board official stated. While the board prefers students to follow the same language scheme, some flexibility has been allowed in special cases. For instance, students returning from foreign schools—where the third language studied till Class 8 or 9 may not be available in India—can be given an exemption as per approved guidelines. However, they will still need to study the required number of subjects under the overall scheme, a senior official clarified. At the same time, mathematics and science are set to undergo a significant change with the introduction of a two-level system from the 2026–27 academic session. Under this system, all students will study the standard curriculum and appear for a common 80-mark exam of three hours. Those who wish to go a step further can opt for an additional ‘advanced’ level in either or both subjects. This advanced level will have a separate one-hour paper of 25 marks, aimed at testing deeper understanding and higher-order thinking skills. Taking the standard exam will be mandatory for all students, while the advanced paper will remain optional. Importantly, marks from the advanced paper will not be included in the overall aggregate. Instead, students who score 50% or above in it will have their advanced-level achievement mentioned separately on their mark sheet. The two-level system for mathematics and science will begin with Class 9 students in the 2026–27 session, and the first batch to appear for Class 10 board exams under this new structure will do so in 2028.

MBA Programs Are Struggling to Prepare Leaders for the AI Era, Survey Finds Business schools nationwide are still preparing future leaders for a world that is rapidly changing. The MBA (Master of Business Administration) has long been considered the gold standard for aspiring entrepreneurs, project managers, mid-level directors, and C-suite executives. These programs aim to equip professionals to lead in the future of work. However, recent data paints a different picture. Even though nine out of ten employers are already implementing AI, and many expect their leaders to be AI-ready, most MBA students report that AI is treated as an afterthought rather than a core part of their postgraduate education, according to a new study by Arkansas State University. Key insights from the survey of about 150 MBA students and graduates include: The findings suggest that while MBA programs remain prestigious, they may need to evolve quickly to prepare graduates for an AI-driven workplace. The AI Skills Gap in MBA Programs: What’s Missing What’s even more concerning is that Arkansas State University highlighted a clear mismatch between the skills MBA programs focus on and the ones the modern workplace actually demands. The study included a table comparing the top skills developed through MBA coursework with those that are underrepresented in these programs. Top AI Skills That MBAs Often OverlookWhile MBA programs do emphasize important skills like leading teams, stakeholder alignment, cross-functional collaboration, and applied data literacy, there is a noticeable gap in teaching the skills that define the future of work. Employers consistently identify these missing skills as critical for the next generation of leaders.

Rajasthan HC PwD Relief: राज्य सरकार का बैंक गारंटी नियम रद्द, डॉक्टरों को मिली राहत जयपुर: राजस्थान उच्च न्यायालय की जयपुर बेंच ने तीन पोस्टग्रेजुएट डॉक्टरों को राहत दी है, जिन्होंने उस राज्य आदेश को चुनौती दी थी जिसमें सुपर-स्पेशलिटी कोर्सेज में दाखिले के लिए 25 लाख रुपये की बैंक गारंटी की शर्त लगाई गई थी। न्यायालय ने माना कि राज्य सरकार नियमों को प्रक्रिया के बीच में नहीं बदल सकती। ये डॉक्टर अपने पद पर सेवा दे रहे हैं या सेवा देने के लिए बाध्य हैं और उन्होंने पोस्टग्रेजुएट या सुपर-स्पेशलिटी कोर्सेज (DM/MCh) में दाखिला लिया था। राज्य सरकार ने यह शर्त इस उद्देश्य से लगाई थी कि डॉक्टर अपने कोर्स पूरा करने के बाद सरकारी अस्पतालों में सेवा दें। इससे पहले, 2025 में NEET-SS के जरिए सुपर-स्पेशलिटी कोर्सेज में दाखिले लेने वाले डॉक्टरों को 25 लाख रुपये की बैंक गारंटी जमा करनी पड़ती थी। डॉक्टरों ने सरकार की इस शर्त का विरोध किया, क्योंकि यह वित्तीय बोझ पैदा करती है और योग्य उम्मीदवारों के लिए रुकावट बन सकती है। वर्तमान याचिका में डॉक्टरों ने तर्क दिया कि यह शर्त मनमाना, अवैध और उनके मौलिक अधिकारों का उल्लंघन है। उन्होंने कहा कि पहले उन्हें सिर्फ दो साल की सेवा का वचन देना होता था और किसी बैंक गारंटी की आवश्यकता नहीं थी। लेकिन 28 जनवरी, 2026 को जारी आदेश में यह नियम अचानक बदल दिया गया। पूर्व में, एक समान मामले में, डॉ. इशांत कुमार साहू व अन्य बनाम राज्य सरकार (SBCWP No. 4504/2026) में न्यायालय ने निर्णय दिया था कि NEET-SS 2025 के परिणाम घोषित होने के बाद नए आदेश को लागू नहीं किया जा सकता। न्यायालय ने कहा था कि उम्मीदवार पुराने आदेश के अनुसार ही दाखिला ले सकते हैं। न्यायालय ने यह भी निर्देश दिया कि मेडिकल कॉलेजों को उम्मीदवारों के मूल दस्तावेज़ तुरंत ईमेल के जरिए आवंटित सुपर-स्पेशलिटी कॉलेजों को भेजने चाहिए, ताकि दाखिले में देरी न हो। उम्मीदवारों को केवल यह शपथ देनी होगी कि वे कोर्स पूरा करने के बाद अपनी सेवा शर्त पूरी करेंगे; यदि नहीं करेंगे, तो बॉन्ड राशि का भुगतान करना होगा। इसके बाद, मेडिकल काउंसलिंग कमेटी (MCC) ने राजस्थान में उम्मीदवारों को मूल दस्तावेज़ की स्कैन कॉपी भेजकर सुपर-स्पेशलिटी कोर्सेज में प्रोविजनल एडमिशन लेने की अनुमति दे दी। न्यायाधीश नुपुर भाटी ने कहा, “किसी भी महंगी बैंक गारंटी की शर्त को NEET-SS परिणाम घोषित होने के बाद लागू करना नियमों को बीच में बदलने जैसा है और इसे पूर्वव्यापी नहीं बनाया जा सकता।” इस तरह, उच्च न्यायालय ने वर्तमान याचिका को डॉ. इशांत कुमार साहू मामले के आदेश के अनुरूप खारिज कर दिया, डॉक्टरों को राहत प्रदान की और नियमों को बीच में बदलने से रोका।

CUET UG 2026: यूजी कोर्सेज में दाखिले के लिए सेंट्रल यूनिवर्सिटी एंट्रेंस टेस्ट (CUET UG) 2026 की परीक्षाएं 11 मई से शुरू हो सकती हैं। लेकिन इस बार छात्रों के लिए यूनिवर्सिटीज के विकल्प पहले की तुलना में कम होंगे। 2024 में कुल 283 यूनिवर्सिटीज ने CUET स्कोर के आधार पर ग्रेजुएशन कोर्सेज में एडमिशन दिया था, जबकि 2026 में यह संख्या घटकर 241 रह गई है। CUET UG 2026: ग्रेजुएशन कोर्सेज में दाखिले के लिए होने वाले सेंट्रल यूनिवर्सिटी एंट्रेंस टेस्ट (CUET UG) 2026 में स्टूडेंट्स को एक दिन में अधिकतम 3 पेपर तक देने होंगे। इस परीक्षा के लिए 55 प्रतिशत छात्रों ने 5 विषयों की परीक्षा देने का विकल्प चुना है। नेशनल टेस्टिंग एजेंसी ( NTA ) आवेदनों को देखते हुए सब्जेक्ट कॉम्बिनेशन और डेटशीट तैयार करने की प्रक्रिया में है। CUET UG Exam Date 2026: सीयूईटी यूजी एग्जाम कब होंगेएनटीए की ओर से जारी किए गए ऑफिशियल नोटिस के अनुसार, CUET UG 2026 की परीक्षाएं संभावित रूप से 11 मई से 19 मई 2026 तक आयोजित की जा सकती हैं। हालांकि, अभी तक एनटीए ने सब्जेक्ट वाइज डेटशीट जारी नहीं की है, लेकिन इसकी तैयारी लगभग पूरी हो चुकी है। जल्द ही आधिकारिक वेबसाइट पर CUET UG 2026 की Exam Datesheet जारी कर दी जाएगी। CUET UG Admit Card: एडमिट कार्ड से पता चलेगा एग्जाम की अवधिछात्रों को एडमिट कार्ड जारी होने के बाद ही पता चलेगा कि उनकी परीक्षा कितने दिनों तक चलेगी। जिन छात्रों ने चार या पांच विषय चुने हैं, उन्हें कम से कम दो दिन परीक्षा के लिए उपस्थित होना होगा। पिछले साल, 2025 की परीक्षा 19 दिन चली थी, जबकि CUET UG 2026 की परीक्षा संभावित रूप से 11 से 31 मई के बीच होगी, यानी कुल 21 दिन की विंडो रखी गई है। इस बार कुल 1568763 यूनीक आवेदन आए हैं, जिसमें से 869901 ने पांच विषयों की परीक्षा देने का विकल्प चुना है। कंप्यूटर बेस्ड टेस्ट मोड में होने वाली परीक्षा का हर पेपर एक घंटे का होगा और 50 सवालों के जवाब देने होंगे। सही जवाब के लिए 5 नंबर मिलेंगे और गलत जवाब देने पर एक नंबर की नेगेटिव मार्किंग होगी। करीब 35 शिफ्ट में सीयूईटी की परीक्षा करवाई जाएगी। पहले की परीक्षाओं में छात्रों को एक दिन में 4 से 5 पेपर तक भी देने पड़ते थे, जिसके कारण उन्हें काफी परेशानी होती थी। 4 विषयों का विकल्प इस बार 363071 (23 प्रतिशत) ने चार विषयों की परीक्षा देने का विकल्प चुना है। जिन छात्रों ने 4 विषय चुने हैं, उनको भी सब्जेक्ट कॉम्बिनेशन के हिसाब से एक दिन में 2 से 3 पेपर तक देने होंगे। 293639 (18.71 प्रतिशत) छात्र 3 विषयों की परीक्षा देंगे। 31011 (1.97 प्रतिशत) छात्र केवल 2 विषयों की परीक्षा देंगे। 11141 (0.71) ने एक विषय की परीक्षा देने का विकल्प चुना है। 2024 के मुकाबले कम यूनिवर्सिटीCUET UG में 2024 में सबसे ज्यादा 283 यूनिवर्सिटीज ने CUET स्कोर के आधार पर ग्रेजुएशन कोर्सेज में दाखिला दिया था। 2025 में यह संख्या घटकर 239 रह गई, जबकि 2026 में 241 यूनिवर्सिटीज ने CUET स्कोर को मान्यता देने का फैसला किया है। क्यों कम हुई CUET अपनाने वाली यूनिवर्सिटीज की संख्याविशेषज्ञों के अनुसार, 2024 के मुकाबले यूनिवर्सिटीज की संख्या में कमी का मुख्य कारण CUET रिजल्ट की टाइमिंग है। 2025 में रिजल्ट 4 जुलाई को आया था और तब तक कई छात्रों ने प्राइवेट और अन्य संस्थानों में दाखिला ले लिया था। ऐसे छात्र जिनका स्कोर अच्छा था, वे रिजल्ट आने से पहले ही किसी अन्य संस्थान में एडमिशन ले चुके थे। इस बार स्थिति बेहतर है और सभी 49 केंद्रीय विश्वविद्यालय, 30 राज्य विश्वविद्यालय, 27 डीनड यूनिवर्सिटी, 119 प्राइवेट यूनिवर्सिटी और 7 अन्य सरकारी संस्थान CUET स्कोर को मान्यता देंगे।
