Happy Engineer's Day 2021

Every year India celebrated Engineer’s Day on September 15. The day marks the birthday of Bharat Ratna Mokshagundam Visvesvarya who did a major contribution in the field of engineering and education. It was 1968 when the nation had first observed this day.

This year marks the 160th birth anniversary of M Visvesvaraya. Born on September 15, 1861, the noted engineer completed his school education in the Muddenahalli village of Karnataka. He then went on to pursue a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Madras. After graduation, he changed his career path and studied civil engineering at the College of Science in Pune.

It was in 1903 when Visvesvaraya designed automatic barrier water floodgates. It had automated doors that close in the event of water overflow. The design is also called Block System and was first installed at the Khadakvasla reservoir in Pune.

Candidates can now access their scorecards by logging in with their registration number and password on the official website iimcat.ac.in.

The provisional answer key was released on December 3, with candidates given until December 5 to raise objections. However, no changes were made to the provisional keys.

Experts have described CAT 2024 as relatively easier compared to the past two years, leading to expectations of higher cut-offs for admission.

Out of the total 2.93 lakh candidates who appeared for the test:

  • 1.86 lakh were male candidates,
  • 1.07 lakh were female candidates, and
  • 5 candidates identified as transgender.

This diverse group of test-takers reflects the growing interest in management education across all demographics.

Candidates with valid CAT 2024 scores can now register for admission to postgraduate programmes at IIMs and other participating institutes.

At least 10 schools in Kanpur received threatening emails on Wednesday which triggered panic in the city. This comes after a number of such emails threatening schools and hospitals with bomb blasts in many cities across India, including Delhi were received. The emails have come through servers which are based in Russia.

According to reports, the emails threatened to blow up the schools. The district administration has rushed the bomb disposal squad to the schools in order to sanitise the premises. Joint Commissioner of Police Law and Order, Harish Chander said the police’s cyber cell is investigating the matter.

Speaking to the media, Chander said the Kanpur Police received information about a bomb threat to various schools. The cyber cell is investigating the matter. All officials have been instructed to monitor CCTV footage thoroughly to establish a link between this threat and previous bomb threats which were received by multiple schools, airports and hospitals.

He also urged parents not to a panic. On Tuesday, 8 schools in Bengaluru received emails threatening bomb blasts. Last week, the city’s popular hospital chain, St Philomena, received a bomb threat email. All these bomb threat emails later turned out to be hoaxes.

 Bhavan Bangalore School, Bengaluru Scottish School, Deeksha High School, Jain Heritage School, Chitrakoota School, Edify Schools, Giridhanva School and Gangothri International Public School were among those that received the threat email from the same domain, Beeble.com.

Delhi’s GTB Hospital, Deep Chand Bandhu Hospital, Hedgewar Hospital and Dada Dev Hospital also received bomb threats via email. The city’s administration scrambled bomb detection team, the bomb disposal squad, fire department and the local police to conduct searches. Over the last one month, Indira Gandhi International Airport, over 20 hospitals and more than 100 schools across Delhi-NCR region have received such threats, but all of them turned out to be hoaxes. On Monday, over 50 schools in Jaipur received similar bomb threat emails.
