Cambridge IGCSE and O Level exam results are released today, following the release of Cambridge International AS & A Level results on 16 August. These results mark the end of an important phase of their lives and ready them for their next step in the world, whether in work or continuing their studies.

Cambridge International, a not-for-profit organisation, part of the world-renowned University of Cambridge and the world’s largest provider of international education programmes and qualifications for 3 to 19 year olds, has released the results of its June 2023 exam series to over half a million students worldwide, including nearly 9000 in India.
This year saw Cambridge International’s largest exam series to date, with 1.7 million entries for Cambridge exams across 5,600 schools in 147 countries. An increase of 11% on June 2022. Despite the challenges of the pandemic over the past few years, students in India have been able to gain the qualifications they need to take their next step, which is proof of their hard work and the continued support of their schools, teachers, families, and communities.
In total, there were almost 32,000 entries for Cambridge IGCSE, O Level and International AS & A Level exams in the June 2023 series in India, a rise of 4% since June 2022. More than 4300 students in India took Cambridge IGCSE and O Level exams, with English, Physics, and Mathematics being the most popular subjects. Over 4500 students in India took Cambridge International AS & A Level exams, with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics being the most popular subjects.

On the June 2023 exam series, Rod Smith, Group Managing Director, International Education at Cambridge, said: “I congratulate Cambridge students for their hard work in achieving these results. They have shown great resilience over the past few years and have kept on moving forward with their education. With these qualifications our students can feel confident that they have developed the skills they need for the future, so they can embrace whatever opportunities lie ahead.
“I also want to thank Cambridge schools and teachers, who once again have displayed tremendous commitment and passion for education that has been core to their students’ success.”
Mahesh Srivastava, Regional Director, South Asia, Cambridge International said: “Through the dedication of students, the unwavering commitment of educators, and the enduring support of families and communities, the journey of Cambridge students in India continues to inspire and we congratulate all students on their remarkable results. As we celebrate their achievements in the June 2023 exam series, we recognise that these results not only reflect academic excellence but also the resilience that empowers them for the future. Together, we pave the way for students to shape their destinies with confidence and seize the boundless opportunities that lie ahead.”
Like other exam boards, Cambridge International has been moving the standard of Cambridge qualifications back to the pre-pandemic standard of 2019 in gradual steps. This year’s standard has returned to the standard of 2019, and the impact of the pandemic has been taken into account when setting the grade boundaries. This means a student who would have achieved a grade A before the pandemic will be just as likely to get a grade A in 2023.
More than 600 schools across India offer Cambridge programmes and qualifications to their students. The Cambridge Pathway curriculum offers flexibility and choice to students and schools, with over 70 subjects available at Cambridge IGCSE and over 55 subjects offered at Cambridge International AS & A Level.

Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

Company aims to envisage various insurance awareness strategies through transit advertisement, radio shows and wall graffiti within the state

Bengaluru, 18th August 2023: In a significant effort to enhance insurance awareness and improve insurance penetration in India, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has appointed Canara HSBC Life Insurance, as the lead life insurer for Karnataka and Delhi under its State Insurance Awareness Plan. To further discuss this agenda, meeting for Karnataka was organized by Canara HSBC Life Insurance in the presence of IRDAI officials and representative from Government of Karnataka along with the participation from the lead general insurance and health insurance partners in Bengaluru.

Focusing on the regulator’s vision of “Insurance For All by 2047,” the meeting brought together officials from IRDAI, government authorities, Canara HSBC Life Insurance and representatives from other insurance companies to brainstorm over the challenges and opportunities related to insurance outreach and how insurance uptake can be increased within the state with deployment of various marketing and educational initiatives.
The State Level Insurance Committee was formed under the Chairmanship of Deputy Secretary Fiscal reforms – Mr. Mohammed Ikramulla Shariff. The district leads for the District Level Insurance Committee was also appointed during the meeting.

Additionally, collaborative efforts will be made with IRDAI and the State Government to raise awareness about existing government schemes and improve insurance availability at the district and state levels. The focus will be on enhancing insurance reach and accessibility throughout the states.
The company’s focus on Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY) and their efforts to work closely with the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) and the State Government will play a vital role in strengthening insurance uptake, particularly in tier 2 and 3 cities.

Mr. Sunil Kurtkoti, Advisor (Financial Inclusion), Finance Department, Government of Karnataka present at the event stated “The State Level Insurance Committee certainly brings in several ideas for implementation of better insurance prospects within the state. The committee should ideally formulate a short term and medium term plan so that a more dedicated and synergized approach is followed within state for insurance awareness. PMJJBY is a measurable product and IRDAI can support the initiative by providing data on quarterly basis for Karnataka’s PMJJBY spread, this will eventually help the insurance companies to map their insurance penetration year on year. Motor insurance, crop insurance and property insurance are some of the crucial sectors which can also give insurance sector the much required boost. The regulator can promote a common portal similar to State Level Banking Committee where the information on progress of every district can be uploaded and measured on timely basis.”

INDIAN ARMY QUIZ 2023 – ‘BATTLE OF MINDS’ LAUNCHED TO COMMEMORATE 25th YEAR OF KARGIL VICTORY

Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

Bangalore , 17th August 2023: In a momentous stride towards fostering knowledge and empowering the youth, the Indian Army proudly unveiled ‘Battle of Minds’ – Indian Army Quiz 2023 along with its captivating logo, at the Manekshaw Centre in Delhi Cantonment. To announce the commencement of 25th year of Kargil Vijay Divas celebrations, the quiz competition celebrates the victory of the Indian Armed Forces in the Kargil War rendering a heartfelt tribute to the bravery and courage of those who made that victory possible. This landmark initiative, symbolized by the newly revealed logo, underscores Army’s commitment to nurturing intellectual growth and inspiring young minds across the Nation. The event celebrates the past and aims to ignite a spirit of curiosity and learning among the youth, shaping the leaders of tomorrow.

The event was attended by Lieutenant General MV Suchindra Kumar, Vice Chief of the Army Staff. The logo for the quiz competition was unveiled by Mrs Archana Pande, President AWWA. Param Vir Chakra Awardees Subedar Major (Honorary Captain) Yogendra Singh Yadav (Retired) and Subedar Major Sanjay Kumar were also present along with Principals from schools across 36 states and Union Territories of India.

The initiative reaches out to approximately 1.5 lakh schools across the country with representation from all districts of India. It aims at registration by approximately 15000 schools. Thus, the competition is expected to engage approximately 1.5 crore students across the nation. Schools will participate with teams of three students plus one reserve. Teams from co-educational schools will have at least one female student. Participants will be in the age group 10 to 16 years (that is broadly standard six to ten). The contest will be conducted in a hybrid i.e. online and offline mode. Beginning at the regional Command level, the competition will then progress to the Inter-Command and finally culminate at the national level.

The competition will unfold in two stages, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of the participants. The first stage will commence with an online elimination round, where students will demonstrate their aptitude by tackling a series of intellectually stimulating questions. Successful contenders from the online round will then progress to the second stage, i.e. a regional Command-level offline competition culminating in the Grand Finale. This format guarantees an equitable and demanding assessment of the participants’ knowledge and capabilities, culminating in the discovery of the most deserving winners.

Conduct modality of the quiz competition focuses on five key elements, namely,

Inclusivity – open to all schools where the English language is primary or secondary medium of instruction;

Equity – ensuring a female participant from each co-ed school to promote balance;

Fair Play – uphold meritocracy, aided by accessible tutorials;

Free Registration; and

Attractive Prizes – notably, rewards for schools, students, and accompanying teachers, with prizes exceeding 4 crore rupees, including buses for the top 12 schools and over 360 laptops for students and teachers are on offer.

A robust student outreach programme through Teach India with an emphasis on pedagogy-based learning will propagate the broad message of the quiz. It will also highlight the role of the Indian Army in nation-building, the Kargil Victory and the ongoing transformations in the Indian Army in its aftermath.

This quiz goes beyond the concept of just testing the general awareness of students. It is a forum which provides a vibrant platform to the youth at the grassroot level to test their knowledge base of culture, science & technology and innovation. The quiz will also generate awareness among the students of the future role they have to play in nation-building.

The logo, name, and tagline of this initiative converge to encapsulate profound significance, resonating with the esteemed legacy of the Indian Army. The formation sign shape of the logo evokes an abiding sense of unity and discipline, while the base maroon colour with the metallic bronze colour border reflects strength and resilience.

The name “Battle of Minds” symbolizes intellectual vigour with the tagline emphasising victory, bravery and heroism. The crossed swords and Ashoka pillar signify readiness, duty, and honour which embody the indomitable spirit and dedication of the Indian Army.

In an evocative blend of homage and innovation, “Battle of Minds” emerges as a powerful catalyst, propelling the nation’s youth towards enlightenment and empowerment. As symbolized by its poignant logo, this visionary stride honours the spirit of the Kargil War and cements the Indian Army’s commitment to a future where unity, knowledge, and curiosity converge – fostering leaders for shaping the destiny of our nation.
