The annual entry-level salary at major Indian IT companies such as Tata Consultancy Services and Infosys has remained between Rs. 3 and Rs. 4 lakh for the past two decades, while education expenses and urban residence costs have increased.

The stagnant wages for entry-level positions have resulted in a significant decline in engineering graduates' purchasing power, which makes achieving financial security more challenging even with campus job offers from these companies.
Free AI content checkers show major differences in their ability to identify machine-generated text and human-written content. Free tool evaluations show testing results that show false positives when testing human-written content and testing results that fail to identify modified AI texts. The academic and editorial field needs to use tools that provide probability-based scoring systems because they offer better results. The best approach uses multiple detection systems together with human assessment instead of using a single system.
Cryptocurrency prices have resumed significant volatility because the previous policy-driven rally has ended, and market trends now show unpredictable movement patterns. The market for Bitcoin and other digital assets shows unstable trading patterns because of weak investor trust, ongoing market momentum, and market movement uncertainties.
