Eligibility to apply for them

For PG courses in Arts and Management – The candidates must have a Bachelor’s degree from any recognized board or university.

For PG courses in Science – The candidates must have a bachelor’s degree in Science from any recognized board or university to be eligible.

National Level Score – The Candidates must apply through valid scores obtained in national level exams.

Appearing – The candidates who are appearing for their final exams in 2021 are also eligible for the Mumbai University PG admission schedule for 2021

However, the next steps are simple. The students will have to click on the PG admission link and fill in all the required details. If the application form is not complete then the application will lapse and will not be counted. The applications will b straight away rejected.

1. The candidates will also have to submit their valid/ working email ID & phone number. All the information will be sent by the University on these. Hence, it is mandatory to fill in the details.
2. The candidates will have to fill in their digital signature too. Along with this, passport size photographs of the candidates is required by the University.
3. The last step will be to fill the application fee. It gets done online or offline. The online modes of money transfer include credit cards, debit cards, and net banking. If anyone chooses the offline mode, they will have to send the ‘demand draft’ in the name of “Finance & account officer of the University of Mumbai”.
4. The application fee for the general category is Rs 1,000/- and for the reserved category, it is Rs 500/-.
5. The students must know that the application fee is not refundable.
6. At last, the candidates will have to take out the printout of the submitted form too.

The candidates who want to appear for the management courses in Mumbai University, have to give the Mumbai University Common Management Entrance Test (MUCMET) & MUCLAT course.

The technology was developed by Prof. Jayant Kumar Singh and his team from the Department of Chemical Engineering in IIT Kanpur.

To facilitate its widespread adoption, IIT Kanpur has signed a technology transfer MoU with ScaNxt Scientific Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

The pact was signed in the presence of Prof. Raja Angamuthu, Associate Dean of Research & Development, IIT Kanpur and Prof. Jayant Kumar Singh (Inventor).

Device

The Soil Nutrient Sensing Device is a compact, smartphone-compatible innovation that provides real-time soil nutrient analysis, addressing the critical gap in timely soil testing for Indian farmers, say sources from IIT Kanpur.

Traditionally reliant on district laboratories, farmers often face delays in receiving soil health assessments, say sources from IIT Kanpur.

Portability

Designed for portability and ease of use, the device can assess multiple soil parameters simultaneously, storing data on a cloud server, with a single charge supporting up to 250 tests, say sources from IIT Kanpur.

This pioneering device leverages Near-Infrared (NIR) Spectroscopy to deliver instant soil health insights directly to a smartphone, eliminating the need for chemical reagents and complex testing processes.

By enabling precise nutrient management, the technology has the potential to transform agriculture, enhancing crop productivity, reducing fertilizer overuse, and contributing to both improved farmer incomes and environmental sustainability, say sources from IIT Kanpur.

By providing instant, reagent-free testing with Near Infrared Spectroscopy, this technology empowers farmers to make informed decisions, optimize fertilizer use, and boost productivity, he said.

Through our collaboration with ScaNxt Scientific Technologies, we aim to transform Indian agriculture and take this pioneering innovation to global markets, supporting the vision of sustainable farming practices, he said.

I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Prof. Jayant Kumar Singh and his team for this groundbreaking development, he said.

Inventor

Prof. Jayant Kumar Singh (inventor) said their development is a culmination of years of research and hard work aimed at addressing the real challenges farmers face in soil health assessment.

It’s truly gratifying to see this innovation, which offers immediate and accuratesoil analysis, now being transferred to ScaNxt Scientific Technologies for broader adoption, said Prof Jayant Kumar of IIT Kanpur.

This device not only empowers farmers with instant insights but also supports the creation of a national soil stack, aiding in better fertilizer management and promoting sustainability, he said.

I am excited to witness the positive impact it will have, both on the ground and at the policy level, as it contributes to a more sustainable and efficient agricultural landscape, he said.

Their collaboration with IIT Kanpur through the joint MoU will allow us to advance soil testing technologies further, integrating micro and secondary nutrient analysis into our BhuParikshak device, he said.

By combining NIR Spectroscopy, IoT, and AI/ML, we aim to provide farmers with even more precise and actionable data to optimize nutrient management and drive sustainable agricultural growth, he said.

Market and collaboration

The Indian soil testing equipment market, currently valued at approximately USD 114.43 million as of 2024, is set for significant expansion.

Driven by the increasing demand for efficient agricultural productivity solutions and the need for climate resilience, this market is projected to reach USD 145.83 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.08%.

This collaboration sets the stage for a transformative shift in soil health management, equipping farmers with immediate, data-driven insights and promoting sustainable agricultural practices both in India and globally.
