Motion Education Celebrates Outstanding NEET 2025 Results with 7 Students in Top 100 and 18 in Top 500

Mumbai, 16th June, 2025:
Motion Education, a leading coaching institute for NEET and IIT JEE (Main + Advanced), has delivered exceptional results in NEET-UG 2025, with 7 students securing positions in the Top 100 All India Rankings and 18 making it to the Top 500. These outstanding achievements in India’s most competitive medical entrance examination reflect Motion’s continued excellence in preparing students for success.

 A celebration was held on Saturday evening at Motion’s Daksh Campus to honor the NEET 2025 achievers. Chairman Surendra Vijay, Director Sushila Vijay, Dr. Swati Vijay, Deputy Director & NEET Division Head Amit Verma, and senior faculty congratulated the toppers and selected students.

 Nitin Viijay (NV Sir), Founder and CEO of Motion Education, stated that due to NTA server issues, there has been a delay in compiling the complete result data. However, as of Saturday evening, Keshav Mittal from Motion secured an impressive All India Rank (AIR) 7. Other high achievers include MD Yusuf with AIR 18, Darshan Mule with AIR 19, Prateek Singh with AIR 50, Raghav Goyal with AIR 62, Anushka Shukrawal with AIR 72, and Jatin Kumar with AIR 85. Additionally, 18 students from Motion ranked within the Top 500.

 During the celebration with the toppers they expressed many benefits to their preparation program, from the experienced Motion faculty staff, and academic system, to Kota’s environment. They elaborated on the full syllabus test series that helped discover and temporarily solve weaknesses at that moment of time. They talked about success being based on consistency, discipline and focused study, and assigned importance to the Brahmastra Test Series that provided exam level practice that was equally important to their upper tier performances.

 Counseling is soon to be upon us, and as CEO Nitin Viijay (NV Sir) says – students will need equally good strategy in addition to good marks. The availability of seats is subjective to many factors annually – from newly approved colleges and recognition updates to the number of seats there are available to students to choose from. Students will need to evaluate the availability of seats, with respect to their category and quota – as well as the variations in domicile rules for state counselling. Knowledge about exact counselling dates and upgrade choices will equate to removal of ambiguity.

 In NEET UG 2025, a total of 22.7 lakh candidates registered, and around 20.9 lakh appeared. There are almost 2.4 lakh admissions available in MBBS, dental and AYUSH programs. There are approximately 1.18 lakh MBBS seats available, although last year, there were a total of 1,15,250 MBBS seats filled! NEET 2025 is one of the toughest exams so far and has produced the lowest numbers in qualifying cut-offs you will find across all categories! In stark contrast to last year’s easy paper, that resulted in 67 perfect scorers – the highest score in NEET 2025 was 686 out of 720! The cut-off for General and EWS categories is 144, and for OBC, SC and ST categories it is 113. This has resulted in downwards, qualifying cutoffs of 18 points for the General and EWS category. The OBC, SC and ST categories have a downwards qualifying cut-off of 14 marks than in 2024.

Inaugural IGF Archer Amish Award to Spotlight Contemporary Indian Stories on Global Stage

16 June 2025, London: India Global Forum is set to announce the winner of the inaugural IGF Archer Amish Award for Storytellers next week. Launched at IGF London 2024, in partnership with internationally acclaimed authors Jeffrey Archer and Amish Tripathi, and sponsored by the House of Abhinandan Lodha, this distinguished literary prize, honours contemporary Indian fiction that reflects the diversity, aspirations, and vibrant energy of modern India, strengthening cultural bridges and fostering richer global dialogue.

With a generous prize of $25,000, one of the biggest for fiction globally and alongside the ranks of some of the world’s top literary prizes, the IGF Archer Amish Award positions Indian literature prominently on the world map, celebrating exceptional Indian authors whose works vividly capture the complexity and dynamism of modern India.

Rt Hon Lisa Nandy MP, Secretary of State for Culture, Media, and Sport, UK Government, will present the award along IGF Chairman Manoj Ladwa and authors Archer and Amish. Her presence highlights the UK’s evolving cultural policy and funding vision, particularly the increased significance of India as a pivotal creative partner post-FTA.

The distinguished finalists vying for this prestigious accolade include Nitya Neelakanthan, author of Navapashanam – The Quest for the Nine Magical Poisons; Yogesh Pandey, author of The Kill Switch; and Dr. Shalini Mullick, author of The Way Home.

Commenting on the vision behind this pioneering initiative, Manoj Ladwa, Founder and Chairman of India Global Forum, says “The IGF Archer Amish Award embodies our commitment to amplifying Indian voices globally, championing narratives that spark cultural conversations and deepen mutual understanding at a critical juncture in UK-India relations.”

“Awards are very important because they give recognition, and they allow someone who had slaved night and day to achieve something to realise they’re not on their own, stuck in a box,” says Lord Archer, the prolific British author of bestsellers such as ‘Kane and Abel’ and ‘The Clifton Chronicles.’

Renowned author Amish Tripathi, who co-conceived the award and leads the judging panel, adds ” This is an award that aims to encourage the gift of storytelling itself, and that is one of the key drivers. It is also around Indians talking about themselves, their own stories. The way Westerners see India, in a lot of ways through the Western lens, it is one narrative, one lens, which is very different from how Indians see India.”

The award ceremony is scheduled to take place at the prestigious Queen Elizabeth II Centre in London on 18 June, as part of IGF London 2025, marking a significant moment in the ongoing cultural dialogue between the UK and India.

Ravin Group Wins ‘Outstanding Component Supplier for Railway Infrastructure’ at ET Infra Rail Show Awards 2025

Mumbai, June 16, 2025: Ravin Group, India’s pioneering cable manufacturing and EPC solutions company, has been honoured with the ‘Outstanding Component Supplier for Railway Infrastructure’ award at the prestigious ET Infra Rail Show Awards 2025. This recognition highlights Ravin Group’s critical contribution to India’s most complex railway project — the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) — and affirms its position as a leader in engineering innovation for infrastructure.

 Ravin Group was recognised for supplying 790 km of custom-engineered, fire-safe cables, including its proprietary IGNAMO fire-survival cables, specifically developed to withstand the harsh and demanding conditions of the Himalayan region. The standout among these was Tunnel T13, a 9.3 km-long segment in the Katra-Dharam section — one of the longest and most treacherous tunnels in the project. This zone experiences sub-zero temperatures, seismic activity, steep gradients, and high humidity — conditions far beyond the scope of traditional urban cabling solutions.

 To meet these unique demands, Ravin Group developed halogen-free, low-smoke, fire-safe cables that could operate efficiently under extreme thermal stress. Select cable sizes weighed up to 12 tonnes per 500-meter drum, requiring significant logistical planning to transport massive drums across rocky, narrow mountain paths with limited or no road access. These engineering feats were complemented by thermal-resistant sheathing, and extended fire integrity performance exceeding 120 minutes, ensuring circuit continuity in case of fire in the enclosed tunnel environments.

 “This project was not just about sending cables up a mountain — it was about engineering trust under pressure,” said Mr. Vijay Karia, Chairman & Managing Director, Ravin Group. “We are proud to have innovated solutions that not only met the technical demands of the USBRL project but also stood strong against the forces of nature. This award affirms the strength of Indian engineering when backed by vision and resolve.”

 Despite the rugged terrain, unpredictable weather, landslides, and security challenges, Ravin ensured timely deliveries by adopting a batch-wise modular manufacturing strategy and deploying technical teams at critical locations for real-time troubleshooting and support. The company also overcame severe constraints in power supply and transportation, proving its mettle in executing projects of national importance in the most testing environments.

 Ravin’s journey from powering metros and urban projects to enabling connectivity across the Himalayas reflects its commitment to building a futuristic, unified India. As a 75-year-old Indian multinational, Ravin proudly upholds the “Make in India” mission, designing and producing these cables entirely within India, connecting the nation both physically and symbolically.
