In loving memory of Dr. Priya Ranjan: A mentor who treated me like family

JAMMU, (INDIA): PhysicsWallah Institute of Innovation (PW IOI), a 4 year UG program in Computer Science and 3 Year UG program in Management, has announced a scholarship worth Rs 5 Crores, which will be disbursed to meritorious students through the PW Common Entrance Exam (CEE). The scholarship is divided into three categories, including a specific allocation for students from economically weaker sections and female students. The first round of the PW CEE is scheduled to take place from February 21, 2025, to March 31, 2025, marking the beginning of a multi-phase examination process that will continue in subsequent stages through July.

Students can register online at any time through the website. Those who clear the first phase of CEE this February will have the opportunity to qualify for an additional early bird scholarship of up to 20%, subject to further assessment and criteria. The examination will be conducted entirely online in a proctored format, ensuring a secure and fair assessment process. Candidates will have the flexibility to select their preferred exam slots from multiple available options.

Following the examination rounds, the first batch for the academic year 2025 will commence in the second week of August 2025. In 2024, over 100 students received scholarships through the CEE and enrolled at the institute. PW IOI, based in Bengaluru, is expanding with upcoming centers in Noida, Patna, Lucknow, Indore, and Pune.

The admission is for both School Of Technology (SOT) and School Of Management (SOM).The courses in SOT focus on coding languages, data structures, operating systems and artificial intelligence, while courses in SOM focus on an overview of technological skills and managerial skills. The CEE is specifically designed for students who have completed Class 12th education. Applicants who have achieved outstanding results in exams such as JEE, NEET, CUET and IPMAT are eligible for direct admissions, bypassing the CEE. 

PW IOI combines technical expertise with industry-relevant skills to prepare students for the evolving technology and business landscape.

A Profound Loss: JK Monitor Mourns the Passing of Founding Chairman Dr. Priya Ranjan

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
