M.Ed students at Central University of Kashmir demand I-Cards
Srinagar, Apr 25, KNT: The students enrolled in the Master of Education (M.Ed) degree course at the Central University of Kashmir (CUK) have appealed to the varsity authorities to issue them Identity Cards.
As per the aggrieved students of M.Ed 3rd Semester, the university has denied them I-Cards since they took admission and their session commenced in April 2021.
A student, who wished not to be named, told news agency Kashmir News Trust (KNT), “The university authorities gave us a paper on which our details were mentioned along with our photograph in the 2nd Semester, but after that, we didn’t receive any official I-Card.”
“It is an irony to realize that our degree is likely to be completed in December this year and we have been consistently denied the university I-Cards. Earlier, they blamed the pandemic for the delay in issuance of the same but now, it is also an invalid reason as the situation has improved drastically,” another student said, who also wished for anonymity.
When asked whether the students were facing any issues due to the non-issuance of the I-Cards, the students said that they usually reach their homes late in the evening and sometimes have to pass through checkpoints, where they fail to prove their identity of being the students of the varsity.
It is in place to mention here that when KNT reached out to the university’s public relations officer (PRO) Mr Arshad Meraj, he noted the complaint of the students and assured us that he’ll get the issue sorted out as soon as possible.
He said, “the university had given orders for the I-Cards through Government e-Marketplace (Gem Portal) long back but there were quality issues. Now, we have given fresh guidelines to the Gem Portal vendor company, which is from Rajasthan. Hopefully, the I-Cards of these students will reach us soon.” (KNT)

No jobs or higher education if you go to study in Pakistan, UGC & AICTE tell Indian students
New Delhi: India’s higher education regulators – University Grants Commission (UGC) and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) – issued a joint advisory Friday urging Indian students not to enrol in any college or educational institution in Pakistan, failing which they won’t be eligible to find a job or pursue higher education in the country.
After warning students against studying in China, this is the second such advisory the two bodies have released since last month. While the warning against China came in the backdrop of the country not issuing visas to students already enrolled in Chinese universities, there seems to be no immediate trigger for the advisory against Pakistan, except for the already strained ties between the two neighbours.
Experts believe the exit of Imran Khan and Shehbaz Sharif taking over as Pakistan’s prime minister is not likely to change things.
Friday’s joint advisory, issued by AICTE Member Secretary and UGC Secretary, read, “All concerned are advised not to travel to Pakistan for pursuing Higher Education.”
“Any Indian national/Overseas Citizen of India who intends to take admission in any degree college/educational institution of Pakistan shall not be eligible for seeking employment or higher studies in India on the basis of such educational qualifications (in any subject) acquired in Pakistan,” the advisory read.
It further said that “migrants and their children who have acquired higher education degrees in Pakistan and have been awarded citizenship by India would be eligible for seeking employment in India after obtaining Security Clearance from MHA.”
In 2019, UGC issued an advisory against studying in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) institutes. While the number of Indian students studying in Pakistan is already miniscule, the latest advisory is likely to act as a further deterrent.
According to a media report in 2020, nearly 200 Indian students, majority of them from Jammu and Kashmir, were enrolled in Pakistani universities at that time. No latest data on the number of students is currently available.(The Print)

Srinagar youth develops Valley's first Ramadan App.Working on other projects to benefit people: Haider Ali Punjabi
Srinagar, Apr 20 : A youth from Srinagar has developed the Valley's first offline Ramadan app with multiple features.
Haider Ali Punjabi (22), a resident of Srinagar pursuing PG from Computer Applications from Cluster University Srinagar developed the app titled "Iftarkar" used on all devices.
Talking with—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), he said that Iftarkar is a Ramzan Companion App made for the people of Jammu and Kashmir. It features Iftar/Sehri timings for Ramadan along with an intuitive countdown for the same.
"It's available as a website (iftarkar.com) and can be used on all devices (mobiles, computers, etc). It is also available as an Android App from Google Play Store,” he said.
"People normally look for Ramdan timings in newspapers etc but after the outbreak of Covid, they weren't available. To help people, we constructed this website,” he said.
"Since it received very good response, the app continued to be updated every year.
Iftarkar has been uniquely developed in a manner so that it can be accessed on slow internet speed, and doesn't need internet after the first time," he added.
"Unlike other timing apps, Iftarkar uses timings from reputed local sources like Darul Uloom Raheemiya Bandipora, Educational Trust Kashmir, Madrasa Arabia Islamia Taleem Ul Quran, Jammu, etc,” he said.
According to him, he is working on more projects for the benefit of people. They include Accher, a Kashmiri Wordle and Kashmiri stickers for WhatsApp and Tweet2Pic, an android app for converting tweets to images.
Apart from Iftarkar, Haider Ali Punjabi worked with two friends Mudasir Ali and Vikas Bukhari on CovidKashmir.org , a website dedicated to track Covid-19 in J&K, along with providing other Covid related information—

Cisco has released a security advisory to warn about a critical vulnerability (CVSS v3 score:
Cisco has released a security advisory to warn about a critical vulnerability (CVSS v3 score: 10.0), tracked as CVE-2022-20695, impacting the Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) software.
The security flaw allows remote attackers to log in to target devices through the management interface without using a valid password.
The bug involves the improper implementation of the password validation algorithm, making it possible to bypass the standard authentication procedure on non-default device configurations.
If this prerequisite is present, the attacker may use crafted credentials to gain varying levels of privilege, potentially going all the way up to an administrative user.
Impact and remediation
According to Cisco's advisory, the products affected by this flaw are those that run Cisco WLC Software 8.10.151.0 or Release 8.10.162.0 and have "macfilter radius compatibility" configured as "Other."
The affected products are:
3504 Wireless Controller
5520 Wireless Controller
8540 Wireless Controller
Mobility Express
Virtual Wireless Controller (vWLC)
In addition to the above, some customers using the following builds not available through the Software Center should also consider themselves vulnerable: 8.10.151.4 to 8.10.151.10 and 8.10.162.1 to 8.10.162.14.
Finally, Cisco has confirmed the following as not vulnerable to CVE-2022-20695:
Catalyst 9800 Embedded Wireless Controller for Catalyst 9300, 9400, and 9500 Series Switches
Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers
Catalyst 9800 Wireless Controller for Cloud
Embedded Wireless Controller on Catalyst Access Points
Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) AireOS products not listed in the Vulnerable Products section
To determine if your configuration is vulnerable, issue the "show macfilter summary" command. If the RADIUS compatibility mode returns "Other," you're vulnerable to attacks.
Command to determine configuration vulnerability
Command to determine configuration vulnerability
(Cisco)
Applying the latest available security updates (8.10.171.0 or later) released by Cisco addresses this vulnerability no matter what configuration you're using.
Possible workarounds
Cisco has provided two possible workarounds for those who can't update the Wireless LAN Controller.
The first option is to reset the "macfilter radius compatibility" mode to the default value by issuing the following command: "config macfilter radius-compat cisco".
The second option would be to change the configuration to other safe modes, such as "free", using this command: "config macfilter radius-compat free".
At the time of writing this, Cisco is not aware of the vulnerability being under active exploitation, and Bleeping Computer has seen no reports about scanning attempts either.
