    Motion Education, a leading coaching institute for NEET and IIT JEE (Main + Advanced), has delivered exceptional results in NEET-UG 2025, with 7 students securing positions in the Top 100 All India Rankings and 18 making it to the Top 500. These outstanding achievements in India’s most competitive medical entrance examination reflect Motion’s continued excellence in preparing students for success. A celebration was held on Saturday evening at Motion’s Daksh Campus to honor the NEET 2025 achievers. Chairman Surendra Vijay, Director Sushila Vijay, Dr. Swati Vijay, Deputy Director & NEET Division Head Amit Verma, and senior faculty congratulated the toppers and selected students. Nitin Viijay (NV Sir), Founder and CEO of Motion Education, stated that due to NTA server issues, there has been a delay in compiling the complete result data. However, as of Saturday evening, Keshav Mittal from Motion secured an impressive All India Rank (AIR) 7. Other high achievers include MD Yusuf with AIR 18, Darshan Mule with AIR 19, Prateek Singh with AIR 50, Raghav Goyal with AIR 62, Anushka Shukrawal with AIR 72, and Jatin Kumar with AIR 85. Additionally, 18 students from Motion ranked within the Top 500. During the celebration with the toppers they expressed many benefits to their preparation program, from the experienced Motion faculty staff, and academic system, to Kota's environment. They elaborated on the full syllabus test series that helped discover and temporarily solve weaknesses at that moment of time. They talked about success being based on consistency, discipline and focused study, and assigned importance to the Brahmastra Test Series that provided exam level practice that was equally important to their upper tier performances. Counseling is soon to be upon us, and as CEO Nitin Viijay (NV Sir) says - students will need equally good strategy in addition to good marks. The availability of seats is subjective to many factors annually - from newly approved colleges and recognition updates to the number of seats there are available to students to choose from. Students will need to evaluate the availability of seats, with respect to their category and quota - as well as the variations in domicile rules for state counselling. Knowledge about exact counselling dates and upgrade choices will equate to removal of ambiguity. In NEET UG 2025, a total of 22.7 lakh candidates registered, and around 20.9 lakh appeared. There are almost 2.4 lakh admissions available in MBBS, dental and AYUSH programs. There are approximately 1.18 lakh MBBS seats available, although last year, there were a total of 1,15,250 MBBS seats filled! NEET 2025 is one of the toughest exams so far and has produced the lowest numbers in qualifying cut-offs you will find across all categories! In stark contrast to last year’s easy paper, that resulted in 67 perfect scorers - the highest score in NEET 2025 was 686 out of 720! The cut-off for General and EWS categories is 144, and for OBC, SC and ST categories it is 113. This has resulted in downwards, qualifying cutoffs of 18 points for the General and EWS category. The OBC, SC and ST categories have a downwards qualifying cut-off of 14 marks than in 2024.

    Haryana Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that preparations are underway to make the upcoming 11th International Yoga Day, to be celebrated on June 21, a historic event. On this day, yoga programmes will be organized simultaneously across all 22 districts and 121 blocks of the state, with participation of over 11 lakh people. This year’s state-level programme will be held at the sacred Brahma Sarovar in Kurukshetra, the very site from where Lord Krishna delivered the message of karma to the world. Renowned yoga guru Swami Ramdev will personally lead the yoga session at this iconic venue, he said. The Chief Minister further shared that the aim is to ensure participation of over one lakh people, not only to popularize yoga but also to set a new world record. The Chief Minister was addressing a Yoga Protocol Training Camp organized jointly by the AYUSH Department, Haryana Yog Aayog, and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) at the ITBP BTC, Bhanu, in Panchkula on Friday. During the event, the Chief Minister, along with other dignitaries and ITBP personnel, observed two minutes of silence to pay homage to those who lost their lives in the Ahmedabad plane crash and prayed for their souls’ peace. Paying tribute to the incredible contribution of ITBP personnel, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that this institution is a living embodiment of discipline, service, dedication, and patriotism. He said that ITBP soldiers guard our northeastern borders in harsh conditions day and night. Be it disaster relief, internal security, or international sports, ITBP has always taken a lead role. Praising the Haryana Yog Aayog, he said that the Aayog is promoting yoga to ensure the well-being of our central security forces. Today’s Yoga Protocol Training Camp holds special significance as it is being held just a week before the 11th International Yoga Day in 2025. The Chief Minister said that the camp is especially important because it is dedicated to those protecting our borders. Yoga not only promotes health but also instills team spirit, cooperation, and discipline – making it deeply connected with our armed forces, he said. Over 15.60 lakh People have Participated in Yoga Programmes Across Haryana The Chief Minister said that the celebrations of the 11th International Yoga Day in Haryana had already commenced on May 27, with yoga programmes being organized across the state. So far, over 15.60 lakh people have participated in these programmes. He shared that more than 61,000 medicinal plants have been planted during these events. A Yoga Awareness campaign is also being carried out, which will reach 5,000 villages in the state by June 19. Institutions like Patanjali Yogpeeth, Bharatiya Yog Sansthan, Brahma Kumaris, and Art of Living are holding yoga camps at 2,500 locations across the state. The Chief Minister said that under the Harit Yoga Campaign, 10 lakh medicinal plants will be distributed till June 21. Additionally, a dedicated government portal has received 7,65,500 registrations for participation in the International Yoga Day event on June 21, he said. He further said that yoga is a gift from our sages, but over time this ancient tradition faded, impacting humanity. Thanks to the efforts of Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi, the United Nations declared June 21 as International Yoga Day. Today, countries around the world have adopted yoga. Yoga is now a way of life not just in India but globally, said Sh. Nayab Singh Saini. He said that to promote yoga, the state government has constructed 714 vyayamshalas and appointed 877 AYUSH Yoga Sahayak. These vyayamshalas will also host programs on June 21. The Chief Minister emphasized that the Prime Minister envisions India becoming a developed nation by 2047, and each of us has a vital role in achieving that goal. He urged everyone to embrace the knowledge of yoga and spread its benefits to others. On this occasion, the Chief Minister also administered a pledge for a Yog yukt-Nasha mukt Haryana. He planted a sapling on the premises of the ITBP BTC under the “Ek Ped Maa ke Naam" campaign. Yoga is not Just Exercise but a Symbol of Balance and Holistic Health – Arti Singh Rao AYUSH and Health Minister Kumari Arti Singh Rao said that the theme for the 11th International Yoga Day is “Yoga for One Earth, One Health”, reminding us that human health is deeply connected to the health of the environment and all living beings. She said that Yoga is not just a physical activity but a global message of balance, holistic development, and wellness. Under the visionary leadership of the Chief Minister, the Haryana Government has transformed yoga from an individual practice into a mass movement. Over 10 lakh citizens are participating in yoga-related activities across the state. At the district level, yoga marathons, awareness drives, and group yoga sessions are being conducted. Research activities are also being carried out at all government medical colleges, she said. The Minister further shared that under the Harit Yoga initiative, 10 lakh medicinal plants are being planted. Plantation drives and cleanliness campaigns are being organized at all yoga venues, integrating yoga with environmental responsibility. From police lines to the Vidhan Sabha, and from border security forces to schools, every corner of Haryana is resonating with the energy of yoga, she said. Yoga is not just Exercise, but an Art of Living – Dr. Jaideep Arya Chairman, Haryana Yog Aayog, Dr. Jaideep Arya, emphasized that yoga is not merely an exercise but a way of life that inspires individuals to maintain balance in every situation. Quoting the Bhagavad Gita, he said, "Yogasthaḥ kuru karmāṇi" – perform every action established in yoga. He said that for soldiers posted in extreme climates like Siachen at -40°C, yoga becomes a crucial source of physical and mental strength. Troops stationed at the borders have incorporated yoga and asanas into their daily routines, setting inspiring examples, shared Dr. Jaideep Arya. He further noted that organizing the state-level Yoga Day celebration at Kurukshetra, the sacred land of the Gita, is of immense significance. On this occasion, Brigadier J.S. Goraya, Commandant Sh. Sunil, Additional Chief Secretary, Health and AYUSH Department, Sh. Sudhir Rajpal, ITBP personnel, and other senior officials were present. No.IPRDH/2025 Junior Engineer suspended for not replacing faulty transformer Action comes after villagers submitted complaint to Energy Minister Anil Vij Chandigarh, June 13 – Haryana’s Energy, Transport and Labour Minister Sh. Anil Vij suspended Sanjay Kumar, Junior Engineer (JE) of the Ambala Industrial Area Sub-Division, for failing to replace a faulty transformer in Chandpura village of Ambala Cantonment even after 15 days. Villagers from Chandpura had submitted a complaint to the Energy Minister regarding the issue, upon which he took swift action and directed the suspension of the JE. The villagers alleged that the power transformer in Chandpura had been non-functional for several days, and they had lodged a complaint about it with JE Sanjay Kumar of Industrial Area, Ambala Cantonment, nearly 15 days ago. However, neither the transformer was repaired nor replaced during this time. Taking serious note of the matter, Sh. Anil Vij issued directions for the suspension of the JE, which was implemented with immediate effect. It is noteworthy that the Energy Minister had previously instructed Discom officials to repair or replace faulty transformers within one hour in urban areas and within two hours in rural areas to ensure uninterrupted power supply. The faulty transformer has now been replaced by the Discom following the villagers’ complaint.
