Good morning,
Monday’s here, and so are the big scoops by ETtech’s most wired reporters. Today’s edition is packed with exclusives you won’t find anywhere else!
Last week we reported that PhonePe was in talks to acquire Indus OS, a homegrown content and app discovery platform with its own Android app store, for $60 million. But then, a minority investor objected to the terms of the deal and the matter is now before the Supreme Court of Singapore.
The National Talent Search Examination (NTSE), which is conducted to select Class X students for scholarship till they complete higher studies, has been postponed in view of the Covid-19 outbreak.
The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has issued a notice to postpone stage-II of the test, which was supposed to be held on June 13. Stage-I of the exam is conducted at the state level while stage-II is held at the national level.
The NCERT has a state-wise quota system while allowing the stage-I qualified students. The stage-I exam has already been held.
Students qualifying in stage-II get Rs 1,250 per month in Classes XI and XII and Rs 2,000 at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
