Parents praise arrangements as NIT Srinagar UG admissions continue
Srinagar, Aug 14: For many parents, accompanying their children to the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Srinagar for undergraduate admissions was an occasion marked by pride, anticipation and a sense of achievement, as their wards embarked on a new phase of academic life. On the second day of undergraduate admissions at the Institute on Friday, parents accompanying students seeking admission to various programmes appreciated the arrangements, describing the process as orderly, efficient and convenient. For families who had travelled from different parts of the country, the admission day also brought relief after months of preparation and uncertainty. Parents said clear guidance from staff and the availability of essential services on campus helped them complete the formalities without much difficulty. Rajesh Kumar, a parent from Punjab, said seeing his son secure admission to NIT Srinagar was a proud moment for the family. We had been waiting for this day for a long time. There was naturally some nervousness when we arrived, but the way the staff guided us made everything much easier. From document verification to the final formalities, everyone was very cooperative, he said. Ram Prasad Meena, a parent from Rajasthan whose son secured admission to Mechanical Engineering, said the arrangements had made the transition easier for both students and families. For us, this is a very important moment. Our son is beginning a new chapter of his life, and as parents we wanted everything to go smoothly. The staff guided us properly, while having different facilities available at one place made the process much easier, he said. Shradda Kumari from Patna, Bihar, whose ward was admitted to the Institute, said her family was impressed by the way the rush of students and parents was managed. We were expecting a long and tiring process, but things moved smoothly. The staff was patient and cooperative. It was reassuring to see that the Institute had made arrangements to assist parents at every stage, she said. Shradda said parents often carry concerns when their children leave home for higher education, adding that the arrangements at the campus helped ease some of those apprehensions. As parents, we always worry when our children take such a big step. Seeing the arrangements here and the way officials are helping students gives us confidence, she said. She added that the atmosphere on campus was encouraging, with students appearing excited about beginning their journey at one of the countrys premier technical institutions. Dean Academic Affairs, Prof. B.A. Mir, said the admission process was progressing smoothly, with teams working continuously to facilitate students and their parents. Today, we have completed the admission process for around 80 candidates, taking the overall number of admissions to 169 so far. The response has been encouraging, and our teams are working to ensure that every student and parent gets proper assistance throughout the process, Prof. Mir said. He said the Institute had streamlined the admission procedure by bringing different facilities and services together at the campus, allowing students to complete their formalities in a coordinated manner. Our teams are working tirelessly from 8:30 AM to 6:30 PM to ensure a hassle-free experience for students and parents. We have tried to make the process as convenient as possible, with the required facilities available under one roof, he said.

Star Cast: Emraan Hashmi, Disha Patani, Shabana Azmi Director: Nitin Kakkar Awarapan 2 Movie Review Synopsis: AWARAPAN 2 is the story of a man on a mission. Nineteen years have passed since the events of the first part. Shivam Pandit (Emraan Hashmi) has survived and continues to mourn the untimely demise of Aaliyah Hamid (Shriya Saran). He forms a bond with an abandoned child, whom he names Aaliyah (Myrah Shivan). When the girl finds herself in trouble, Shivam brings back his old, brave and fearless avatar. He travels to Bangkok and takes on members of a dangerous gang to save Aaliyah. Amid the chaos, he finds solace in Zara (Disha Patani). What happens next forms the rest of the film. Awarapan 2 Movie Story Review: Vishesh Bhatt's story carries the essence of the first part. Bilal Siddiqi and Vishesh Bhatt's screenplay is engaging and peppered with engaging and emotional moments. However, the writing could have been tighter and less predictable. Bilal Siddiqi and Vishesh Bhatt's dialogues (additional dialogues by Sanjay Masoom) are in sync with the zone of the film. Nitin Kakkar's direction is mass appealing. He nicely plays on the nostalgia factor and moreover, presents the protagonist in an extremely likeable avatar. Hence, one roots for Shivam from start to finish. The antagonist's track and his equation with his siblings is another riveting track that will be lapped up by the audience. There's abundance of action which will find patronage from the mass audience and single screen patrons. Certain scenes will lead to lots of claps and whistles. On the flipside, despite the best efforts, the film falls short of the greatness of AWARAPAN [2007], which has become a cult classic. The romantic track between Shivam and Zara doesn't work as intended. A few twists are predictable and one can guess from a mile away. A few scenes are silly like the villain allowing the protagonist to survive and not killing. It makes no sense considering that he's shown to be quite ruthless. Lastly, the final scene will leave the audience divided. Awarapan 2 Movie Review Performances: Emraan Hashmi is presented in a mass appealing avatar and will be loved. There's been a huge demand to see him in such a character but he had not done a role of this kind in a long time. Hence, masses and his fans will be in for a treat. Disha Patani looks stunning and gives a first-rate performance. Shabana Azmi (Nafisa Nawaz) is lovely and one wishes she had more screen time. Puran Gabbi (Zorawar) is a great find and is a big surprise. Aniruddh Rawal (Sikandar) is another actor that will be appreciated. Suvinder Vicky (Jaideep), Vijayant Kohli (Mehmood) and Atul Kumar (Samarth) lend able support. Myrah Shivan delivers a confident performance. Shriya Saran and Shaad Randhawa's cameos are fair. Awarapan 2 movie music and other technical aspects: The music is decent and again, no match to the soundtrack of the original. 'Tera Mera Rishta Continues' and 'Toh Phir Aao' are the best of the lot followed by 'Yeh Awarapan' and 'Ve Junoon'. 'Tumhare Liye', 'Piya Ghar Aaya' and 'Laado' fail to entice. Raju Singh's background score is much better. Vishnu Rao's cinematography is stunning. The locales of Rajasthan and Bangkok are spectacularly shot. Aejaz Gulab and Kawee Sirikhanaerut's action is a bit gory. Shiraz Siddique and Maxima Basu's costumes are stylish while Sunayana Sabherwal and Tarpan Shrivastavaa's production design is classy. Devendra Murdeshwar's editing is sharp and could have been better in beginning of the second half. Awarapan 2 Movie Review Conclusion: On the whole, AWARAPAN 2 works as a mass-appealing action entertainer powered by Emraan Hashmis likeable performance, nostalgia, emotion and whistle-worthy moments. At the box office, the film is all set for a smashing opening and a strong weekend, and this will prove to be one of the biggest hits of the year.

Dean Academic Affairs, Prof. B.A. Mir, said the Institute has put in place comprehensive arrangements to ensure a smooth and hassle-free admission process for students and their parents.

The process has been streamlined so that all necessary facilities and services are available under one roof, he said. Prof. Mir further said that Director NIT Srinagar, Prof. Binod Kumar Kanaujia, is in constant touch with him and closely monitoring the admission process.

Prof. Mir also appreciated the efforts of the Associate Dean Examination, Associate Dean PG, Associate Dean Academic Affairs, Associate Dean ERP and Assistant Registrar Academics Affairs, ERP officials, staff members and other teams involved in the admission process for ensuring efficient coordination and timely completion of formalities. He also acknowledged the support extended by the Dean Students Welfare, administration and essential service units, including the Health Centre, sanitation and security teams, which collectively facilitated the smooth conduct of the admissions. Meanwhile, Registrar Prof Atikur Rehman and In-charge Director Prof. Roohie Naaz also personally inspected the admission arrangements and interacted with the teams and students during the process, providing further encouragement to the officials engaged in the admissions. Earlier this week, the Institute also completed the postgraduate admission process, with 194 candidates selected for admission under various PG programmes. Several parents appreciated the arrangements made by the Institute for the students on the campus. Rajesh Kumar from Punjab, whose son secured admission to NIT Srinagar, said the process was systematic and convenient. From verification of documents to the final admission formalities, everything was handled efficiently. The staff members were helpful and guided us at every stage, he said. Gomti Aggarwal, a parent from Hyderabad, whose son was admitted to Civil Engineering, also appreciated the arrangements. We were guided properly throughout the process. Having different facilities available at one place made the admission process much easier for students and parents, she said. Another parent, Ram Seni from Rajasthan, said the Institute had made adequate arrangements to manage the rush of students and parents. The arrangements were very good, and the staff was cooperative. We completed the formalities without any unnecessary delay, he said.

Highlights Awarapan 2 has generated around 270,000 in gross advance bookings Batwara 1947 has recorded around 67,500 in day-one pre-sales Emraan Hashmis sequel has sold more than 100,000 tickets ahead of the Independence Day clash Emraan Hashmis Awarapan 2 is pulling away from Sunny Deols Batwara 1947 before the two films face off at the box office, with the sequel currently holding a fourfold lead in advance bookings. The latest figures show Awarapan 2 at around 270,000 in gross pre-sales, compared with approximately 67,500 for Batwara 1947 . The numbers give the sequel a strong early advantage ahead of the Independence Day weekend. More than 100,000 tickets already sold Awarapan 2 has sold approximately 102,470 tickets across 5,934 shows, with its potential gross rising to around 450,000 when blocked seats are included. Maharashtra is currently its biggest market, contributing roughly 94,000 to the gross bookings. Delhi follows at about 92,000, while Uttar Pradesh has recorded around 51,000. Gujarat stands at approximately 37,000 and West Bengal at 30,000. The early numbers suggest that the 2007 original's long-running popularity is translating into interest for the sequel. Awarapan developed a strong following over the years, giving the new film a built-in nostalgia factor ahead of its release. Directed by Nitin Kakkar, Awarapan 2 stars Emraan Hashmi, Disha Patani and Shabana Azmi.

The Independence Day clash is already taking shape The gap between the two releases is significant before either film reaches cinemas. Awarapan 2 has both a substantially higher ticket count and gross advance collection, while Batwara 1947 is currently relying on its Independence Day release and the appeal of its star cast and subject. The early numbers do not determine the final box-office result, but they show where audience interest is leaning before the first shows begin. Awarapan 2 is currently winning the pre-release race, with nostalgia giving Hashmis sequel a notable advantage.

With the extended service, passengers will not have to change trains or make separate arrangements for onward travel to Katra, reducing travel time and additional expenses, they said. The commencement date of the extended service will be notified separately after finalisation. Passengers have been advised to check the IRCTC website, mobile application or station enquiry counters for reservation and the latest status of the train. The Jammu division officials said the extension would further facilitate religious tourism and provide more convenient rail connectivity to the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi shrine.
