Mangaluru, Jun 25: Along with the top 3 ranks, 45% students trained at Centre For Advanced Learning (CFAL), Mangaluru have achieved distinguished ranks in JEE- Main 2016. All these students will qualify for seats in the prestigious National Institute of Technology (NIT's). CFAL is the institute with highest percentage student selections in highly competitive engineering and medical exams such as JEE main, JEE Advanced, KVPY, NMTC and Olympiads.

CFAL's topper Dhanush is a NIOS ( National Institute of Open Schooling) student. The NIOS board gives students the time and flexibility needed to cater their learning based on their stregths. Students who have more time to prepare are obviously able to score better in competitive exams. Also, since the JEE main ranking system gives 40% weightage to the board marks, the NIOS students are able to get good placements at NIT's.

CFAL asks the students in their Centre to think big, and to aim to get into the top colleges in our country. Despite being 40000 seats in top institutes like IIT's, IISC, IICER, BIT's, NIT's, very few students from Mangalore get into these colleges. Since there is general opinion that getting into top colleges is extremely difficult if not impossible, many students in the Mangalore region do not look beyond CET. CFAL was started with the aim of changing this paradigm and the results speak for themselves. CFAL promotes self-directed learning and the NIOS board is a wonderful platform for this.

This establishes the truth that we have very intelligent students in this region, and our students requires a lot of guidance. The fact is that if someone is merely good in PU or has cracked CET, this may not be sufficient to top IIT-JEE. We still need more awareness. For example, if you look at Kota or Hyderabad, the number of students taking IIT may be more than those in Karnataka. The lack of awareness may be another reason. Karnataka students are very bright and capable, which is demonstrated once they enter IIT. Students from Karnataka are toppers in most departments in IITs. However, for JEE, students typically study for two years along with their 11th and 12th studies. Students from other states prepare for JEE from class eighth onwards or they study entirely for 2 years for these exams. This difference in preparation time, mentoring and lack of desire, is why our students are not in the top 10.

More than 11 lakh students appeared for JEE-MAIN 2016 across the country which was held on April 2016. These students compete to be eligible for seats available in 30 National Institutes of Technology [NITs], Indian Institutes of Information Technology [IIITs] and a few other technical Institutes funded by Central or a State government [Other-GFTIs] for which admission is on the basis of JEE (Main) 2016 All India Rank list. The Class XII board marks carried 40% weightage and JEE scores 60% weightage for admissions. The special attraction for the Karnataka students is that at NITK Surathkal, 50% of the seats are reserved for students from the state.

Students of CFAL also excel in other competitive exams

In JEE-Advanced 2016, the students of CFAL achieved outstanding results with 12 of their students being selected. This is the highest selection from any institution in Mangalore and Udupi. 10 students from CFAL have been selected for Kishore Vaigyani fellowship in 2016.

IIT, BITS, NIT's, IISC, IISER as well as other reputed institutions at national level are hubs of academic excellence attracting the brightest students from all over India. Students have access to world class facilities and are up to date with emerging trends and streams of thought and prepare to serve both the society and industry with innovative solutions for current problems. They are exposed to the best minds in the country through expert talks, workshops etc, which make them a dream destination for students. These graduates are highly sought after by prestigious companies and institutions with lucrative offers. In addition, the recognized faculty in these universities do noteworthy research, and mentor the students to continue education in international university, enabling them work with the best students from around the world.

Bengaluru: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday launched simultaneous raids in multiple places, including Bengaluru and Shivamogga.

Reports suggested that the ongoing raids are in connection with the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) blast in Bengaluru’s Rameshwaram Cafe on March 1. The blast had injured at least ten people as per the police report.

The Central Crime Branch (CCB) had launched an investigation alongside the NIA, and the trail of the suspect led them to Tumakuru first and subsequently to Ballari. Investigators believe that the bomb was planted by Mussavir Hussain Shazib, a handler of the Islamic State’s Shivamogga module who was aided by another IS handler called Ahmed Taahaa.

Sources in the know said that Shazib and Taahaa had stayed in Chennai for about a month between January and February using fake credentials. The names of the suspects were identified after they traced the cap worn by Shazib to a shop in a mall in Chennai. The cap, which was abandoned by the bomber in Bengaluru after the blast, was reportedly bought by Taahaa, around January-end.

As per the NIA, Shazib hails from Masjid Road in Thirthahalli, Shivamogga district, and Taahaa from Fish Market Road, Soppu Gude, Thirthahalli Rural. Both "wanted" suspects have been termed "absconders" by the NIA.

The NIA has questioned seven jailed terror suspects so far in connection with the blast. The investigation agency had also obtained seven-day custody of a jailed terror suspect named Maaz Muneer Ahmed.

Mangaluru, Mar 14: “Hindutva is my commitment and development is my priority,” said Indian army veteran and entrepreneur Captain Brijesh Chowta after the BJP high command announced a ticket to him from Dakshina Kannada Lok Sabha constituency.

Known as a BJP stronghold, Nalin Kumar Kateel has served as the MP of this constituency for the past 15 years.

Soon after the announcement was made, 42-year-old Chowta, who is also the BJP state secretary from Dakshina Kannada constituency, sought the blessings of his parents and went to Shree Sharavu Mahaganapathi Temple and visited the war memorial to offer tributes.

A BSc graduate from St Aloysius College, he completed his executive business Management program from the Indian Institute of Management, Indore.

He was commissioned into the 7th battalion of the 8 Gorkha Rifles and served in counter-insurgency operations in Assam and Manipur and was part of Elite Ghatak team. He also served as the adjutant to the battalion. He has been associated with the BJP since 2013. He is the president of Mangaluru Kambala and organiser of Mangaluru Lit Fest.

“Humbled and grateful to our party seniors led by our commander-in-chief PM Narendra Modi for giving me this opportunity to be our party’s candidate and representative of his work and vision in Dakshina Kannada. I pledge to continue to work with even greater rigour for the welfare of our region and people driven by the mantra of ‘Nation First’. I humbly bow down to all our karyakartas & everyone who stood by me & toiled with me to make this happen. Our task has just begun, as we work towards making Dakshina Kannada the number one in the state,” Captain Chowta said on X.

Kateel welcomes change 

Meanwhile, sitting Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel has welcomed the party’s decision to field Capt Brijesh Chowta as the BJP candidate for Dakshina Kannada Lok Sabha constituency.

He said the change aligns with the party’s strategy of fostering new talent to broaden its base and activities. He hoped that he will win by a margin of more than 3 lakh votes.

Soon after the list was announced on Wednesday, the three-time MP told reporters that he has brought projects worth about Rs 1 lakh crore during the last 10 years, under the Modi government.

He thanked the party for giving him a big responsibility of leading the party in the state. “I have worked honestly,” he said.
