Bengaluru: Just a day after the announcement of the II PU results, the Department of Pre-University Education (DPUE) received over 7,000 applications for requests for scanned copies of their answer scripts and re-evaluation.

This is the first time that the department has made the payment of fee for these applications online and students who want to submit offline applications can visit the nearest BengaluruOne centre.

Although Tuesday was a holiday, parents headed to the department to seek clarifications. Several private colleges also kept their offices open to answer queries of parents and students. Many private colleges have stopped accepting physical copies of the application and the entire process has gone online.

New Delhi: Election Commission of India’s official results website ‘results.eci.gov.in’ has reportedly experienced a technical outage on Saturday morning, at a time when India closely watches the high-stakes Maharashtra and Jharkhand assembly poll battle.

Visitors visiting the site were met with non-functional links and a generic “counting in progress” message, leaving them without updated election data. The ECI has not issued an official explanation for the disruption.

Vote counting, which began at 8 a.m. with postal ballots, is underway for 288 assembly seats in Maharashtra and 81 in Jharkhand. Early trends suggest a lead for the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra, currently ahead in 141 seats, while the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) is leading in 96. In Jharkhand, the BJP-led NDA is ahead in 43 seats, while the ruling JMM-led alliance is trailing with leads in 33 constituencies.

Additionally, counting is underway for 48 assembly bypolls across 13 states and two parliamentary seats, Nanded in Maharashtra and Wayanad in Kerala.
