Beyond The Cut
Times of India's Edit Page team comprises senior journalists with wide-ranging interests who debate and opine on the news and issues of the day. RBI can't do anything about sluggish incomes RBI's generous 50bps rate cut cheered markets on Friday, and should ease pressure of EMIs on borrowers soon. But a bigger test lies ahead – will it spur demand, and growth? Although Q4 data for fiscal 2025 was encouraging, its 7.4% growth was mostly powered by govt-led construction. Manufacturing growth remained sluggish, which is a dampener for the central bank's 'growth aspiration' of 7-8%. RBI has already set its growth expectation for the current fiscal at a modest 6.5%. For India to grow in the target range, private consumption – which accounts for close to 60% of GDP – must shift gears, and the three rate cuts this year – altogether 100bps – will make borrowing significantly cheaper. RBI and govt will hope this stimulates demand for housing and automobiles, key industries that employ millions and have significant multiplier effects. While inflation has finally cooled to a comfortable level, creating room for rate cuts, some experts have diagnosed sluggish demand and slowing price rise as a sign of weak incomes. Post-Covid, the housing and automobile markets became premiumised. Small hatchbacks, once the base of the car market, are now a tiny segment. Likewise, smaller apartments fell off builders' plans. Essentially, mid-income earners got priced out. Cheaper credit could change that, and if private demand booms, so will private capex. That's the hope. But if these rate cuts don't translate into growth, govt will seriously need to look at the problem of income stagnation. RBI has already changed its policy stance from accommodative to neutral, signalling a reluctance to make more cuts this year.

Mission Admission 2025: How engineering curriculum adapts to Artificial Intelligence, industry needs
Bengaluru: Artificial Intelligence won't take your job, someone who knows AI will. When the panel at Mission Admission summarised the changing scenario of engineering, hundreds of students listened ardently to the evolving curriculum in colleges. The session was moderated by Atul Batra, ex-chairperson, Nasscom Product Council. KN Subramanya, principal of RV College of Engineering, said the knowledge students acquire in the first year becomes outdated by the time they graduate. Therefore, engineering education now focuses on both knowledge and skills, ensuring students can adapt to future changes. Today's curriculum is flexible, allowing students from one branch to take minors or honours in emerging fields such as cloud computing or cybersecurity. Udaya Kumar Reddy KR, dean of school of engineering, Dayananda School of Engineering, said while AI tools like ChatGPT can help, they should augment, not replace, foundational knowledge. He emphasised the importance of asking smart questions and understanding where to draw the line to avoid over-reliance on AI and preserve critical thinking skills. The panel also discussed how teaching methods in engineering are changing — traditional lectures are being replaced by more interactive and experiential learning. This includes group projects, hackathons, internships and industry collaborations from early years. Students are encouraged to solve real-world problems and develop innovative solutions. Seshachalam D, vice-principal, BMS College of Engineering, explained: "If industry and academia jointly tackle Bengaluru's traffic or waste management, research becomes impactful." However, challenges remain, the panelists observed. Institutions need to invest in modern infrastructure and ensure faculty are trained in new technologies. Collaboration with industry is essential, not just for short-term projects but for building centres of excellence focused on research and innovation. — Raksha Hosur Pradeep & Prathikaa V Shastry Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Eid wishes , messages , and quotes !
