5 min readMar 2, 2026 02:29 PM IST With his knock of 50-ball knock of 97 runs against West Indies in what was a virtual quarter-final at Eden Gardens on Sunday night, Sanju Samson ensured that India made its highest successful run chase in T20 World Cup history.

India’s biotechnology sector has witnessed significant growth over the past decade. According to the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), the Indian bioeconomy has expanded from approximately USD 10 billion in 2014 to over USD 80 billion in recent years, driven by pharmaceuticals, vaccines, diagnostics, agri-biotech and bio-industrial innovation. Government initiatives such as Startup India and production-linked incentives in pharma manufacturing have further strengthened this ecosystem. This growth has increased demand for engineers who understand biological systems and are not just pure biologists. That is where Biological Engineering and Bioengineering enter the picture. If you’re a high school student who enjoys biology but also loves solving problems, the world of engineering right now can feel both exciting and a little overwhelming. As you flip through course brochures or scroll through university websites, you’ll probably keep seeing two very similar-sounding degrees: BTech in Biological Engineering and BTech in Bioengineering.

IIT placement rates slide, pays shrink as vaunted colleges reconcile with AI, changing job market

Published by Parlour News

The overall placement rates at the 23 Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) fell from over 90% to just around 80% between 2021-22 and 2023-24, with the weighted average annual salaries reducing marginally from ₹23.45 lakh to ₹22.7 lakh, a HT analysis shows, with IIT administrators and faculty attributing the trend to an uncertain job market and high student expectations, although they insist that the overall placement scenario in the IITs is stable. Across IITs, officials and faculty members agree that the placement slowdown is driven more by changing market dynamics than by student capability. (FILE) The IITs are yet to release a consolidated report of their 2024-25 placement season.

Pluto begins it’s next 20 year-cycle today: Here’s how it will bring relief to every Capricorn chart placement

Published by Parlour News

Nov 19, 2024 01:16 PM IST A brand new era for Capricorns has finally begun. Pluto moves out of the zodiac today, making its way on to Aquarius. If you can’t tell, it’s a big deal 16 years. That’s how long Pluto had stationed itself in the zodiac sign of Capricorn. Having entered the cardinal sign back in 2008, the planet of death, destruction and transformation, Pluto’s dance with Capricorn has been brutally eye opening. Though in hindsight everything that Pluto sets into motion does serve a greater purpose of redefining and strengthening oneself, going through the whole hog can be, as it has been on several instances for the past decade and a half — soul crushing. But 16 years worth of lessons must count for something, and today, November 19, marks the commencement of a brand new era for Capricorns. In the same breath, today also kickstarts Pluto’s next big cosmic trot — that through the zodiac sign of Aquarius. Now while the primary focus of this transit will be the water sign, …
