September 2025 – Your Quick Look at the Latest Education News

Hey there! If you stopped by Timeless Education Hub this month, you probably saw two big stories that matter to a lot of students and educators. One is about the Bihar ITI CAT 2025 registration deadline getting a fresh push, and the other breaks down the NIRF Rankings 2025 results. Let’s unpack what these updates mean for you, and why they’re worth a few minutes of attention.

Bihar ITI CAT 2025 – Deadline Extension

The Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) just announced that the registration deadline for the ITI CAT 2025 exam is now May 17. If you missed the original cut‑off, you’ve got a little breathing room. Even the fee payment window stays open until May 18, so you can sort out the paperwork without rushing.

What’s new after registration? There’s a short correction window on May 19‑20 where you can fix any mistakes in your application. Admit cards will be released on June 5, giving you enough time to plan your study schedule before the actual test on June 15.

Eligibility basics: You need to be at least 14 years old (17+ for MMV/tractor trades), have passed Class 10 with Maths and Science, and meet the Bihar residency requirements. The exam itself covers Maths, General Science, and General Knowledge – basically the same mix you’d expect for an ITI entrance test.

Why does this matter? Extending the deadline opens doors for many hopeful candidates who were juggling school, work, or family duties. It also shows BCECEB’s flexibility in response to on‑ground challenges, which is a good sign for anyone planning to apply next year.

NIRF Rankings 2025 – Who’s on Top?

Switching gears, the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) just released its 2025 list, and the results are pretty interesting. IIT Madras clinched the overall top spot for the seventh straight year and led the engineering category for a decade now. That’s a solid track record that keeps attracting top talent.

In the university category, IISc Bangalore held firm at No. 1, reinforcing its reputation as the premier research institute in the country. Over in the college space, Delhi University’s Hindu College and Miranda House grabbed the first two spots, while Hansraj College and Kirori Mal College jumped into third and fourth. This surge from DU colleges shows a growing confidence in their academic standards.

Professional categories also saw familiar faces: IIM Ahmedabad topped management, AIIMS Delhi led medical education, and NLSIU kept its lead in law. What’s cool is that IIT Madras also earned new badges in Innovation and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), highlighting its push beyond traditional engineering.

For students choosing a campus, these rankings give a quick snapshot of where institutions excel. Whether you’re after cutting‑edge research, a strong campus life, or a specific professional program, the NIRF list helps narrow down options without digging through endless brochures.

Bottom line: September’s two posts cover both immediate action items (like the new ITI CAT dates) and longer‑term decisions (like picking a college based on the latest rankings). Keep an eye on our archive for similar updates – we’ll keep pulling out the practical bits you need to move forward.
