CBSE Holds National Summit on School-to-Work Transition
The Central Board of Secondary Education has organised its fourth National Summit on Facilitating School-to-Work Transition in New Delhi. The initiative focuses on the transition from school education to employment and the importance of preparing students for professional opportunities.
The discussion around school-to-work transition highlights the need to connect classroom learning with practical skills, career awareness, and workplace expectations. As employment requirements continue to evolve, students need opportunities to understand different career pathways and develop competencies that can support their future choices.
Such initiatives bring attention to the role of schools in helping learners move beyond theoretical knowledge and prepare for further education, vocational training or employment.
UP NEET PG Counselling 2026: Round 1 Merit List Released
The Directorate General of Medical Education and Training (DGME), Uttar Pradesh, has released the first-round merit list and seat matrix for NEET PG counselling 2026. The announcement, made on October 26, marks an important stage in the admission process for postgraduate medical courses.
A total of 6,084 candidates are eligible to participate in counselling for the 50% state-quota seats in Doctor of Medicine (MD) and Master of Surgery (MS) programmes.
Eligible candidates should check the published merit list and seat matrix through the official Uttar Pradesh medical counselling portal. They must also follow the prescribed choice-filling process and monitor subsequent notifications for seat allotment and admission instructions.

Students and applicants should prioritise the following steps:
Check revised examination schedules and official notifications regularly
Complete recruitment applications within the extended deadline
Review counselling merit lists, available seats and choice-filling instructions carefully
Keep the required documents ready for verification and admission
