Harvard University has seen a remarkable surge in donations, totalling $1.14 million within two days after University President Alan Garber’s strong response to President Trump’s proposed $2.2 billion funding cut. Over 4,000 gifts flooded in, with 77% coming from smaller donors. This outpouring of support highlights alumni backing amidst financial pressure, including threats to the university’s tax-exempt status and ability to enrol international students, as reported by The Harvard Crimson.

SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST) has started the SRM Joint Engineering Entrance Examination (SRMJEEE) 2025 slot booking for phase 1. Candidates can select their preferred exam dates, timings, and centres by April 19, 2025. The exams will be held from April 22 to 27, 2025, in three sessions daily. Admit cards are also available for download once the slot booking process is completed. Candidates must carry the printed admit card to the exam centre.

The Harvard School of Public Health is facing a major budget crisis after the Trump administration withdrew over $2 billion in US federal funding. The school has begun layoffs, ended leases on key buildings, and suspended numerous research grants. With nearly half its revenue previously coming from federal sources, the cuts have jeopardized critical research and international student enrollment. HSPH is now working to protect its core mission amid escalating financial and political pressure.

India faces a declining graduate employability rate, with only 42.6% considered job-ready in 2025. To bridge the skills gap, undergraduates can now enroll in concurrent tech skilling programs. Four notable options—IBM SkillsBuild, gNIIT, AICTE Virtual Internships, and TCS iON Career Edge—offer industry-relevant training in AI, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and soft skills. These programs provide certifications, internships, and real-world experience, enabling students to graduate with both academic credentials and job-ready capabilities.

Over 1,000 international students across 130+ US institutions have had their visas or immigration status revoked in a sweeping and largely unexplained crackdown by the Trump administration. Affected schools in 40 states report receiving little to no information from federal authorities. With alleged reasons ranging from old misdemeanors to vague criminal charges, a federal lawsuit has been filed to challenge the move. Universities and students alike remain in confusion, as reported by CNN.

While most students want good mentors, faculty often don’t know how to deliver on those expectations. A new book from a faculty coach at Duke University offers some guidance.
