If sources are to be believed, Delhi University is expected to release the results for over 10,000 undergraduate aspirants who appeared for Delhi University's (DU) Common Aptitude Test for English (CATE) this year, however there is no official confirmation from the university. The various test centres across the university conducted the exam this year where good attendance was observed of eager students and anxious parents.
This year 21 colleges conducted admission tests for English (Honours) through CATE, with over 10,000 students appearing for the exam. The joint entrance test for Bachelor of Business Science (BBS), Bachelor of Business Economics (BBE) and Bachelor of Financial and Investment Analysis (BFIA) were also conducted on the same day.
Six more colleges, including Lady Shri Ram College and Shaheed Bhagat Singh College, have joined the list this year. The joint entrance test, for which 15,500 students had applied, was conducted from 10 am to 12 noon across New Delhi, Kolkata, Chandigarh and Lucknow.
The two - hour long paper had 120 multiple-choice questions on subjects such as maths, English, general knowledge and business application. Every correct answer fetches three marks, while one negative mark is given for every incorrect answer. The examination was tough but achievable, felt Anushree Kalia, a student. “ The maths section was hard enough to keep you sweating through the exam,” she added.
The CATE, conducted between 2 pm and 3.30 pm at 25 centres across the city, went off without a hitch. “ We received no complaints from any of our centres. The question paper too had no problems,” Sumanyu Satpathy, head of DUs English department, said. The CATE 2011 results can be checked on the official website of DU on http://www.du.ac.in, once published.

No more free colour televisions in Tamil Nadu, says Jaya
Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa on scrapped yet another pet project of the previous DMK government, the free colour TV scheme. Only days after scrapping the Kalaignar Kappeetu Thittam (Kalaignar Insurance Scheme), Jaya alleged largescale corruption behind the free colour TV distribution and decided to scrap the scheme.
The free colour TV scheme was one of the most populist schemes in the DMK election manifesto in 2006 and DMK top brass strongly believed that the scheme had played a major role in their victory in the Assembly elections held that year. The party had assured to continue the scheme if they win back power in Tamil Nadu.
Jayalalithaa alleged that DMK introduced these populist schemes not for the welfare of the people but for the welfare of Karunanidhi's family. She said when the government handed over a Rs 2,265 worth colour TV to each household under the scheme, the people were shelling out Rs 4,000 crore per year for cable connections which was monopolised by Maran brothers.
After assuming power, Jayalalithaa has been cancelling all the pet projects of the former government.
Last week, she decided to do away with the housing and insurance scheme named after DMK head and former chief minister M Karunanidhi. She then decided not to form the Legislative Council, which was announced by DMK and also postponed the decision of the previous government to have uniform system of education in the state.

Karunanidhi advise to Maran : Fight for your own cause
Tainted Union Telecom Minister Dayanidhi Maran will have to fight it alone against the recent allegations of corruption as his party is still reluctant to come out in his support. Former Chief Minister and DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi, has made clear this much and quashed the hopes left among Maran supporters by saying that the Minister will fight the allegations legally and refused to spell out the support from DMK in this battle.
Fielding questions from mediapersons at his Gopalapuram residence here in Chennai, Karunanidhi said, "Maran had already made his stance clear on the issue and he would face it legally." Ironically, the top leaders from DMK, who had strongly defended former telecom minister A Raja on 2G Spectrum allegations, have not come out in defence of Dayanidhi Maran so far. Inside sources in the party reveal that a large section of the DMK cadres are 'happy' with the current fate of Maran and do not want the leadership to rally behind him.
Even after a week of intense anti- Maran campaign launched by the BJP and other Opposition parties, neither Karunanidhi nor DMK general secretary K Anbazhagan has issued a statement in support of him. Karunanidhi, who had been bombarded with questions regarding the party's support for former telecom minister by the media, seems to have consciously decided to isolate him in his fight to prove innocence.
Maran had been desperately trying to gather the party support in his do- ordie battle. However, the DMK leadership has not taken Maran taint as an insult to the party, already reeling under the charges levelled against its leaders in 2G spectrum.
Party insiders say the '' cease- fire agreement'' between the Maran brothers and Karunanidhi family, after a brief period of '' intense war'', was just a political decision and the embers of hatred are still smouldering inside both families. Moreover, the party leadership also suspect the hands of Maran in 2G spectrum exposure against A Raja, who was hailed as the Dalit face of the party by none other than Karunanidhi.
It is also said that the party leadership is now gathering their resources to bring out M P Kanimozhi, daughter of Karunanidhi, who along with Sarath Kumar was arrested by the CBI. And Maran cannot expect the DMK chief picking up cudgels for him in his battle for survival.
So it is time for Dayanidhi Maran to use all his political wisdom to ward off the charges that are propping up one after the other all alone without the support from the cadres or leaders of his party.
