IITMPTF and SWAYAM Plus join hands for a great course
IITMPTF is partnering with the SWAYAM Plus initiative of the Union Education Ministry to launch a training program in the Semiconductor Industry for Students and graduates.
This skill-based training program is intended for engineering and science students and graduates from Electronics/Electrical/ Mechanical/Manufacturing/Production disciplines.
This short-term training program will be taught in physical mode at IIT Madras and will focus on the semiconductor Industry, say sources from IITMPTF.
The program offers placement assistance for high-performing students and will make them industry-ready by skilling them with hands-on training.
Aim
This program aims to inspire students and industry partners to pursue careers in electronics and tackle challenging scientific problems relevant to societal needs and sustainable growth.
It is proposed to provide hands-on training accompanied by background theory on the subject delivered by experts from IIT Madras, say sources from IITMPTF.
Joint initiative
SWAYAM Plus is a joint initiative by the Ministry of Education, Government of India and IIT Madras, launched in line with National Education Policy’s focus on promoting and encouraging employability-focused, skilling courses, say sources from IITMPTF.
It aims to build employable skills among graduates across sectors critical to India’s growth. The aim is also to align industry skills with academic courses, thereby bridging the gap.
Importance
Prof. R. Sarathi, Dean (Planning), IIT Madras highlighted the importance of this initiative.
Skills development is a National movement to provide Indians with opportunities to fully develop potential throughout their life, regardless of their prior experience, he said.
Through this movement, the skills, passion and contributions of every individual will drive India’s next phase of development towards an advanced economy and inclusive society, he said.
Prof Sarathi further said these training program aims to bridge the gap between idealized concepts learnt from the foundational courses in engineering and the real world.
Our experience indicates that there is a need to strengthen the skills needed in general engineering and to build an intuition in relation to that, he said.
The contents of the training program for engineering students are identified through the skill gap between engineering curriculum and practicing engineer, he said.
Accommodation will be offered at IIT Madras campus at a basic cost of Rs 650 per day per student, which includes food and stay, say sources from IITMPTF.
Request for accommodation can be made 4 days ahead the start of the respective training slots.

Understanding Symbols on Your CBSE MarksheetThis is one of the most confusing parts for students. Here’s a clear breakdown of every symbol and abbreviation you’ll see on your CBSE Class 12 marksheet:
Grade Breakdown (CBSE Grading System)
Note: CBSE uses a 10-point grading scale for the final marksheet, but universities often ask for percentage equivalents during admissions. The standard CBSE formula is: Percentage = (CGPA × 9.5). Pass Eligibility & Minimum Marks RequiredTo pass the CBSE Class 12 board exam 2026, students must meet the following criteria:
This criterion remains unchanged in 2026. How Many Subjects Are Considered for the Pass Certificate?CBSE considers 5 main subjects for passing. If a student has taken an additional sixth subject, it may replace the lowest-scoring compulsory subject — which can actually boost your percentage if you performed well in it. Ask your school about this option. CBSE 2026 Pass Percentage & Key StatisticsHere are the major highlights of CBSE Class 12 Result 2026:
Girls have consistently outperformed boys in CBSE Class 12 exams, and 2026 continues that trend with a notable 6.73% gap in pass percentage. What is On-Screen Marking (OSM)?A major change in evaluation this year was the expanded use of On-Screen Marking (OSM) — a system where answer sheets are scanned and checked digitally by examiners on computer screens rather than physically. Benefits of OSM:
CBSE has been gradually rolling out OSM since 2024 and significantly expanded it in 2026. While it slightly affected the result timeline during moderation, it marks a positive step toward transparent and accurate evaluation. Re-evaluation & Verification of MarksNot satisfied with your score? CBSE offers two options: Option 1: Verification of Marks
Option 2: Photocopy of Answer Sheet

Whether the result brought joy, relief, or disappointment — what matters most is what you do next. If you passed, congratulations! Begin your college research early and keep your DigiLocker marksheet ready for applications. If you’re placed in compartment, remember it’s a second chance that thousands of students have used successfully to move forward. And if things didn’t go as planned, CBSE’s re-evaluation process exists for a reason — use it if you genuinely feel your paper was not assessed correctly. Stay calm, act fast, and make your next move count.
