According to CBSE Examination Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj, class 12 students will be allowed to improve their performance in one subject in the supplementary examination and class 10 students will be allowed to improve their performance in two subjects in the supplementary examination. "Three categories of students will be eligible to appear in the supplementary examinations -- class 10 students who were unable to pass two subjects and class 12 students who were unable to pass one subject and were placed in compartment category; students who were declared pass by replacing sixth or seventh subject; and class 10 and 12 students who were declared pass but wish to improve their performance in two and one subject respectively," Bhardwaj said.

<keyword id="22782965" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ashima-Gulati" source="keywords">Ashima Gulati</keyword> is a lawyer turned <keyword id="22782966" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="policy-consultant" source="keywords">policy consultant</keyword> with over 7 years of experience in India's public policy arena. Starting off with a B.A.LL.B. (Hons.) from the National Law Institute University in Bhopal, Ashima kicked off her career as a securities and capital markets lawyer in Mumbai. Craving a deeper understanding of India's socio-economic landscape, she made a switch to the development and policy sector. Since her stint in Mumbai, Ashima's had quite the journey, including a two-year fellowship where she taught 70 students from a low-income community and co-founding a non-profit to improve healthcare access for marginalised communities. More recently, while Ashima was working as an independent consultant, collaborating with government, non-profit, and private organisations to build climate resilience and adaptation strategies for these groups, she went on something of a spree and applied to 10 master’s programs that combined general policy insights with climate change and sustainable development. But here’s the kicker: she got into ALL of them and bagged over USD 200,000 in <keyword id="19897091" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="scholarships" source="keywords">scholarships</keyword>! The impressive list of colleges and universities she got accepted into include Oxford, Columbia, <keyword id="191548" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="cornell" source="Orion">Cornell</keyword>, <keyword id="142498" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="university-of-chicago" source="Orion">University of Chicago</keyword>'s Harris School of Public Policy, The Fletcher School at Tufts University and Geneva Graduate Institute, to name a few. As Ashima prepares to leave for Oxford, where she will pursue Master of Public Policy, we got in touch with her to ask her how she managed to achieve this monumental feat. While she works towards her ever-evolving passion for public policy and sustainable development, other aspirants can probably take a page or two out of her book! Ashima attributes her success in applying to international universities to the a few unique aspects. Here are five such major factors that helped her application stand out from the crowd in her own words: Demonstrate the uniqueness of candidature through evidence “I believe it is of utmost importance to be able to substantiate the claims that one makes in their applications with respect to their profile, work experiences, leadership qualities, and most importantly, the impact that one has created in the society. Since my college days, I have maintained a detailed record of all initiatives and opportunities I have engaged in, documenting my involvement thoroughly. For my master’s applications, I included such documentation through publications, data evidence, and other relevant sources. Additionally, I encouraged my recommenders to provide evidence supporting the qualities they intended to highlight in their letters. This approach fosters transparency and credibility in the application, avoiding the use of superlatives and ensuring grounded presentation of one’s profile.” Showcase alignment with the specific program and the university “It is essential to thoroughly research and understand the focus and advantages of the specific program before drafting application essays. This ensures that you can effectively align your profile and professional experiences with the program and the university. The application should clearly demonstrate how the program’s unique features will enhance your knowledge, skills, and career goals. In my view, the applications should be highly tailored to the specific program and university to which one is applying to.” Be honest with one’s limitations and gaps in current knowledge and skill set “In my view, there has to be a demonstrated need for upskilling and applying to the program. One should be able to discuss the obstacles and hindrances one has experienced in their current profile, and a genuine need to upskill to overcome such challenges. Additionally, the application should also discuss how the program/university will help the applicant in addressing such challenges, and in helping one grow in their professional journey.” Connect with alumni and articulate well-considered future goals “Applicants should clearly outline their professional goals, both short-term and long-term, within their applications. It is important to demonstrate that you have engaged with alumni to gain insights into the opportunities provided by the program and the university. Additionally, the application should detail how the program and the university will support you in achieving these advanced goals. This approach reflects thorough research and preparation, showcasing the uniqueness of the program and university as your commitment to leveraging these opportunities effectively.” Discuss your contribution to the growth of the program/university “Many applicants overlook this aspect in their applications. It is crucial to articulate how you will contribute to the program and university both as a current student and as an alumnus. This demonstrates a strong commitment to the institution. You should describe how you plan to leverage your skills and knowledge in specific areas, such as conferences or journals, to contribute meaningfully to the institution. This reflects your genuine interest and dedication to the institute, and a mutual relationship that you wish to nurture with the institute.” While the pointers Ashima shares are undoubtedly helpful, she stresses on how its the candidate profile that matters most. You can check out her profile <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashima-gulati/?originalSubdomain=in" data-type="tilCustomLink">here</a>. Furthermore, as dedicated as Ashima is towards her cause and her <keyword id="19907717" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="education" source="keywords">education</keyword> at the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford, she acknowledges that letting go of the financial stability that her career in law afforded her was not an easy choice to make. However, these acceptances served as affirmations that traditional notions of what a career must look like are evolving, she asserted. She now knows that taking risks in one’s career can be rewarding if done right! Going forward, Ashima is committed to using her education to advance her career in the public policy sector with the goal of contributing to the well-being and uplifting of marginalised communities, mostly by addressing the intersections of education, healthcare and climate change. And we wish her all the very best! <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="112316410" title="I moved from the US to Germany for college.

Leading conservatives have <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/06/us/tim-walz-george-floyd-criticism.html">criticized Walz</a> for his handling of the state's protests after the murder of George Floyd. Walz has shot back at leading Republicans and has led the Democratic trend calling former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, "<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/08/06/vice-president-pick-tim-walz-gop-weird/74685719007/">weird</a>."Here are some of <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tim-walz-kamala-harris-israel-gaza-pro-palestinian-protests-2024-8">Walz</a>'s economic policies from his time as governor.<h2 id="a81358c6-f7a0-441b-8831-107af470cfef">Universal free school meals</h2>In March 2023, Walz, a former teacher, signed into law a universal free school lunch bill giving students a free breakfast and lunch each day, regardless of income. The bill filled the gap in funding from the National School Lunch Program, which didn't cover the full cost of meals.In addition, the program axed additional paperwork that parents and administrators needed to sign to secure free or reduced-priced meals for students. The program, which costs Minnesota <a target="_blank" href="https://minnesotareformer.com/2024/01/10/walz-celebrates-first-months-of-universal-free-school-meals/">nearly $300 million</a> annually, increased the number of breakfasts served by 30% and lunches by 11% between September 2022 and September 2023.<h2 id="e5a5747c-31c6-4194-bba9-169ee7dee02b">Job creation</h2>Walz enacted the <a target="_blank" href="https://mn.gov/governor/assets/FINAL%20Local%20Jobs%20and%20Projects_fact%20sheet%20(002)_tcm1055-516777.pdf">Local Jobs and Projects Plan</a>, which gave $1.9 billion to support construction and renovation projects. Over a third of the funds went toward asset preservation, such as repairing university buildings and improving roads and bridges. More than $450 million of the money went toward affordable housing projects.Walz's administration also created the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://mn.gov/deed/economicexpansion/">Governor's Council on Economic Expansion</a>, pulling in 15 business leaders across the state to help grow the state's economy.<h2 id="65708ff4-98aa-4099-8b3e-fae0b66fad6b">Tax cuts and rebates</h2>Last year, Walz enacted a state tax cut through the<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://mn.gov/governor/accomplishments/one-mn-budget.jsp"> One Minnesota Budget</a>, which also increased funding for public education. Nearly 1.4 million middle-class Minnesotans had their taxes cut, and the bill also provided tax relief for people and businesses impacted by the pandemic.The Walz Administration also provided tax rebates for the working class, colloquially called "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.kiplinger.com/taxes/irs-will-tax-walz-check-minnesota-rebates#:~:text=These%20rebates%2C%20commonly%20known%20as,to%20%241%2C750%20per%20child%20dependent.)">Walz checks</a>," which amounted to $1,300 in some cases. In 2024, the IRS started taxing the rebates.<h2 id="3d723ffb-677a-4cd4-bd1c-f9025972cbf3">Cannabis legalization</h2>In May 2023, Walz signed a bill <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://mn.gov/governor/newsroom/press-releases/?id=1055-579413">legalizing cannabis</a> use for adults across the state, creating the Office of Cannabis Management to regulate cannabis and develop regulations for the cannabis sector. Minnesota became the 23rd state to legalize cannabis use."We've known for too long that prohibiting the use of cannabis hasn't worked. By legalizing adult-use cannabis, we're expanding our economy, creating jobs, and regulating the industry to keep Minnesotans safe," <a target="_blank" href="https://mn.gov/governor/newsroom/press-releases/?id=1055-579413">Walz said</a> at the time.<h2 id="e2a1ec16-3a9c-4a7d-bd42-f68a525de723">Increased labor protections</h2>In 2023, Walz signed into effect new laws expanding worker protections. The laws state that for every 30 hours employees work, they will earn an hour of sick time. Launching in 2026, the state will implement <a target="_blank" href="https://mn.gov/deed/paidleave/">paid family and medical leave</a>. The laws further expanded the Women's Economic Security Act, giving more accommodations to pregnant employees and new parents and guaranteeing up to 12 weeks of unpaid parental leave.The laws also provided greater safety provisions for workers, including at warehouse distribution centers, meat and poultry processing facilities, nursing homes, and hospitals. The administration also banned non-compete agreements allowing workers to seek better working conditions.The United Auto Workers union was quick to support Walz on X. "Tim Walz doesn't just talk the talk, he walks the walk," the UAW wrote. "From delivering for working-class Americans to standing with the UAW on our picket line last year, we know which side he's on."<h2 id="a1d2fc7e-0e5a-4c90-b69c-2e0f1bdc32fd">Clean energy and the environment</h2>Walz <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://minnesotareformer.com/briefs/gov-walz-signs-bill-mandating-100-carbon-free-energy-by-2040/">signed legislation</a> last year requiring the state to generate 100% of its electricity from carbon-free sources such as solar power or wind by 2040. Walz also created the Governor's Biofuels Council to transition the state toward clean energy.The state passed over 40 climate initiatives last year, including improving electric vehicle charging infrastructure, building energy-efficient housing, and streamlining permits for renewable energy projects. Another initiative funds apprenticeship programs for state residents to get jobs in the clean energy sector.Minnesota became the second state to phase out nonessential <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.pca.state.mn.us/pfas-in-minnesota">PFAS</a>, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances known as "forever chemicals" because they can't be easily broken down.<h2 id="86b557e6-fc30-4a61-ab92-e4e79f9f654a">Education and support for parents</h2>Walz has devoted much of his term to improving funding and support for the state's young residents. Walz budgeted an over <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.house.mn.gov/sessiondaily/Story/18009">$2.2 billion increase</a> — or over 10% — in funding for K-12 schools.Minnesota has also <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ohe.state.mn.us/mPg.cfm?pageID=2573">championed free college tuition</a> for low-income families earning less than $80,000 a year, which the state predicts will impact between 15,000 and 20,000 students. The budget also increased eligibility for the state's student grant and provided more funding to Indigenous students and universities.Walz <a target="_blank" href="https://mn.gov/governor/newsroom/press-releases/?id=1055-639617">announced</a> last week that the state's child tax credit has helped over 215,000 families this year, amounting to about $1,244 per child.
