New Delhi [India], June 2 : The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Tuesday said its Class 12 re-evaluation portal remained operational despite multiple cyberattack attempts, including a denial-of-service (DoS) attack that generated 1.5 million hits within two minutes and more than one lakh attempts at unauthorised file access. According to the board, the portal continued to function smoothly during the attacks and successfully handled a high volume of student traffic. As of 3 pm on Tuesday, more than 16,000 students had completed their re-evaluation submissions, while the portal was supporting over 8,000 concurrent users. In a post on X, the official account of CBSE shared, Update from our Cybersecurity Teams: The CBSE revaluation portal is currently supporting over 8,000 concurrent users. As of 3:00 PM today, more than 16,000 students have successfully completed their submissions. While thousands of students accessed the CBSE re-evaluation portal today, malicious actors attempted to disrupt services through a barrage of cyberattacks. Most recent being a denial of service attack attempt, causing 1.5 million hits on the portal within a matter of 2 minutes and more than 1 lakh attempts of unauthorised file access. Based on student feedback, we have further refined the platform, including extending session time limits to make the process more convenient and seamless. Our teams remain vigilant and responsive to ensure our dearest students are facilitated in all ways possible, the post read. The development comes amid continued scrutiny of CBSEs digital infrastructure following reports of technical glitches in its post-result services and concerns raised by students regarding discrepancies in answer-sheet evaluation under the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system.

India calls for dialogue, diplomacy amid Israeli offensive in Lebanon, Iran-US talks suspension
New Delhi [India], June 2 : India on Monday reiterated its call for dialogue and diplomacy to restore peace and stability in West Asia amid escalating tensions in Lebanon due to increased Israeli military operations and Irans call for suspension of peace talks with the US due to such actions. Responding to a question during the weekly media briefing on the ongoing Israeli military offensive in Lebanon and its wider regional implications, MEA Official Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India has been closely monitoring developments in the region. We have been closely following the developments in the West Asia region and our point right from the very beginning has been that dialogue and diplomacy are the way forward for achieving an early return of peace and stability, Jaiswal said. He added that India continues to convey this position consistently in its engagements with all concerned parties. This comes in the wake of the worsening security situation in Lebanon, where Israeli military operations have resulted in significant casualties and damage, as well as making territorial gains on the southern side of Lebanon. On Sunday, Netanyahu said Israeli forces have captured Beaufort Castle in southern Lebanon despite the ongoing ceasefire between the two sides and instructed the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) to further expand the incursion in Lebanon. Last night, our heroic fighters captured the Beaufort castle. They proudly raised the flag of the State of Israel and the flag of the Golani Brigade there, Netanyahu said in a televised statement. I remind you that 44 years ago, this place was a symbol of a heroic battle by our fighters, but it was also a symbol of deep division among us. Today, we returned to Beaufort differently. We returned united, determined, and stronger than ever, he added. Netanyahu further stated that the capture marks a significant turn in Israels military campaign, reflecting unity and determination among Israeli forces. On Monday, Netanyahu and Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz had instructed the countrys defence forces to conduct strikes against terror targets in Beirut in response to what it has called Hezbollahs repeated violations of the ceasefire in Lebanon. Following such actions, Iranian Parliament Speaker MB Ghalibaf, who is also the head of the Iranian negotiation team, has warned that if Israels attacks continue, Iran will not only halt the dialogue process with the US but will also stand firmly against them. US President Donald Trump also lashed out at Netanyahu during a heated telephone conversation on Monday, holding the Israeli leader responsible for generating global animosity towards his nation, Axios reported. The confrontation was triggered after Iran issued a warning threatening to halt diplomatic engagements. This prompted an aggressive intervention from the US President, who at one point yelled at Netanyahu, What the f*** are you doing? According to a US official cited by Axios, Trump expressed immense frustration over what he perceived as a disproportionate military response to Hezbollahs strikes on Israel. (ANI)

RISE Institute Records Over 15 IIT Selections; Six Girls from J&K Crack IIT in a Historic First
Four girls from Kashmir and two from Kargil, Ladakh qualify for IIT a feat celebrated across theregion as a defining moment for girls education Srinagar, June 2026 RISE Institute, Srinagars leading coaching centre for JEE and NEET preparation, has announced 15+ IIT selections in JEE Advanced 2026, adding another milestone to its unbroken legacy as the only institute in Kashmir to have sent students to the IITs every single year since its founding in 2012. The standout story of this years result is the selection of six girls from Jammu & Kashmir Soliha, Hyfa, Nuha, and Ayesha from Kashmir, and Isma and Parveen from Kargil, Ladakh. Last year, three girls qualifying for IIT from Kashmir was an achievement so rare it made national headlines, drew a congratulatory tweet from the Chief Minister of Jammu & Kashmir, and was covered by The Hindu and The Indian Express. This year, RISE has doubled that number. Particularly noteworthy are the two selections from Kargil Isma and Parveen from a region that has historically had limited access to structured IIT coaching. For Kargil, which sits at the edge of Ladakh and has long been underserved in terms of competitive exam preparation, these selections represent more than individual achievement. They signal that the aspiration and talent to reach Indias most prestigious engineering institutions exists far beyond the metros, and that the right guidance can unlock it. The broader significance of six girls cracking IIT from Jammu & Kashmir cannot be overstated. In a region where societal pressures, limited role models, and geographical barriers have historically made it difficult for girls to pursue competitive engineering education, this result challenges every one of those narratives. Each name on this list Soliha, Hyfa, Nuha, Ayesha, Isma, Parveen becomes a reference point for the next girl in Kashmir or Kargil who dares to imagine an IIT. RISE is the only institute in Kashmir to have maintained an unbroken streak of IIT selections year after year. With over 1,000 cumulative IIT and NIT selections since its inception, the institute has quietly built a track record that few coaching centres anywhere in the country can match on a per-student basis. Its students have gone on to study at IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Roorkee, AIIMS, and even internationally at Princeton University and the University of Pennsylvania. RISE was co-founded by Mubeen Masudi, an alumnus of IIT Bombay, and Salman Shahid and Imbesat Ahmad, both alumni of IIT Kharagpur. The three founders left behind careers elsewhere to invest in the educational future of Kashmir a decision that has since transformed the academic trajectories of hundreds of students from the Valley and beyond. Co-founder Salman Shahid, who hails from Delhi, was honoured with the prestigious Young Alumni Achiever Award by IIT Kharagpur in recognition of his contribution to education in Kashmir through RISE. The work of RISE has not gone unnoticed.
