Delhi High Court Questions Telegram Ban Ahead of NEET UG Re-Exam

The Delhi High Court has questioned the decision to put a temporary ban on the messaging app Telegram for the NEET UG re-exam till June 22. The court has asked the Center how the rights of the messaging app's 150 million users can be limited just because some users are taking the exam. On Thursday (June 18, 2026), the High Court heard the petition filed by Telegram. The exam was cancelled on May 3 after the NEET UG paper leak case and now the re-exam is to be held on June 21. In such a situation, the government has temporarily banned the use of the app in India till June 22 in view of the danger of misusing Telegram before the exam. The Central Government strongly argued in the High Court on Thursday that Telegram can be misused by wrong elements. Senior advocate Dhruv Mehta represented the Center while Attorney General R. Venkatramani and General Tushar Mehta represented the Center.

Odisha Government Decides Against Printing New Textbooks Amid Errors

BHUBANESWAR: Even as Odisha government has formed a three-member panel to probe large-scale errors in the new textbooks prescribed for classes I to VIII, the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) on Thursday made it clear that no fresh books would be issued. Instead, teachers will have to use a corrigendum to teach students from the same textbooks during the current academic year. The responsibility of rectifying the errors and ensuring proper learning will rest with teachers at the school level, the council said. While errors in textbooks for primary classes will be corrected by teachers, students of higher classes will make the corrections in their books under their teachers’ guidance. SCERT director Madhusmita Sahoo, who acknowledged the errors, said the books printed under the new syllabus had already been distributed. “The same books will continue to be used with necessary corrections. However, the council will take all measures to ensure that such lapses do not recur from the 2027-28 academic session onwards,” Sahoo told mediapersons. She said the errors brought to SCERT’s notice had been corrected and communicated to teachers through a corrigendum. Teachers will now rectify the mistakes and teach students accordingly, she added. Sources said around 2.8 crore textbooks had been printed, of which more than 85 per cent have already been distributed. Meanwhile, acting on the instructions of Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, the government has constituted a three-member committee headed by Development Commissioner D K Singh to investigate the errors. The committee has been tasked with identifying the stages at which the mistakes occurred and fixing responsibility on the officials or agencies concerned.

Odisha Eyes Curriculum Framework Restructuring to Ensure Uniformity in School Education

BHUBANESWAR: Currently in the middle of a storm over the large-scale errors in textbooks prescribed for elementary students, the Directorate of Teacher Education and SCERT may soon be entrusted with the responsibility to develop curriculum, textbooks and training materials for all classes from Shishu Vatika to Class XII. The recommendation forms part of the Odisha Curriculum Framework for School Education 2025, launched in September last year, which proposes a major restructuring of curriculum and textbook development in the state. At present, curriculum design, textbook preparation and teacher training for classes I to VIII are being handled by SCERT, while the Board of Secondary Education (BSE) oversees these functions for classes IX and X. Similarly for classes XI and XII, the Council of Higher Secondary Education (CHSE) is responsible for curriculum and training, while textbooks are developed by the Textbook Bureau under the Higher Education department. The framework recommends consolidating these functions under a strengthened SCERT, aligned with the structure of the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), to ensure uniformity and continuity in school education. It also proposes strengthening the Directorate of Textbook Production and Marketing (TBPM) to undertake printing of textbooks and learning materials for all classes from Shishu Vatika to Class XII.

Leader of the Opposition Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday asked the UDF leadership to explain its change in stance on the PM SHRI scheme and asserted that Kerala’s education system would not collapse if the state did not receive funds under the centrally sponsored programme. Addressing a press conference, Pinarayi said the previous LDF government had informed the Centre on November 12 of its decision to discontinue the scheme and had not taken any further steps towards its implementation. Rejecting Chief Minister V D Satheesan’s contention that the present government was bound to implement the scheme because the previous government had signed an MoU, Pinarayi said signing an MoU did not automatically require its implementation.

The Vijay government, through the governor’s address, conveyed its strong opposition to the National Education Policy 2020, particularly the three-language formula, while promising to introduce structural reforms aimed at providing world-class education to students.

Bihar Education Department Faces Profile Update Crisis Ahead of Teacher Transfer Process

While the Bihar education department is busy preparing for the bumper transfer and posting of teachers, on the other hand, a major negligence has come to the fore. The profile update work of teachers in 12 districts of East Bihar, Kosi and Seemanchal is going on at a very slow pace, which can become a big hurdle in the transfer process in the coming days. According to the departmental report, out of a total of more than 1.47 lakh teachers in these 12 districts, only 52 percent of the teachers have updated their profiles so far. That is, about 48 percent of the teachers are still out of this mandatory process. The education department has given a clear ultimatum that the benefit of the teacher transfer process will be only those whose profiles will be updated on the e-Shiksha Kosh portal. Amarendra Pandey, the DPO of Bhagalpur, has warned in a stern tone that the salary of teachers who do not update their profiles can also be stopped.

NEET Re-Exam Preparations Shift to Telegram Channels in Kota

It was my second day in Kota. There were still a few days to go before a temporary ban on Telegram was announced, but the platform was already at the centre of discussions among students preparing for the June 21 NEET re-exam. As students came out of coaching institutes, preparations for the re-test had reached its final stages. The crowds in classrooms had started thinning. Most students were attending only selective revision sessions, and were spending the rest of their time in libraries, hostels, cafes, and rented rooms, where studies had become the second name of life. But behind this routine, something had changed. The conversations that should have been about biology diagrams, mock tests, and possible cut-offs were getting repeated on Telegram channels. Passing through one of Kota's busiest student hubs was not like entering a city, but like keeping notes in a huge academic township. Students were also looking at physics and mathematics in the middle of each revision.

The educational federation has also appealed to the Jammu and Kashmir government to work out a solution with the Centre in this matter, advocating legal protection and relief for serving teachers. The federation has also sent memorandums to the Prime Minister and the Union Education Minister through district deputy commissioners.
