 Wipro to Acquire Harman’s Digital Transformation Solutions (DTS) Unit

Indian tech major Wipro has announced plans to acquire Harman Connected Services' DTS business—part of Samsung—for $375 million. The acquisition will integrate over 5,600 employees across 14 countries into Wipro’s global engineering team, significantly enhancing its AI-driven engineering and R&D capabilities across sectors like aerospace, healthcare, and consumer goods. The deal is expected to finalize by year-end, pending regulatory approvals.

Engineering institutions in coastal regions like Mangaluru—particularly MITE in Moodbidri and VCET in Puttur—are prioritizing soft skills development alongside technical instruction. This includes training in communication, aptitude, and interview readiness, and has led to dramatic improvements in placement rates, with VCET seeing an increase from 50% to 85%.


The Hatkeshwar flyover in Ahmedabad, deemed unsafe just five years after its 2017 inauguration, is being demolished. The ₹34 crore bridge has been closed since July 2022 and awaits dismantling over the next three months—though ongoing monsoon conditions may cause delays. IIT-Roorkee had confirmed structural flaws, and IIT-Gandhinagar will review demolition plans.

IIT Guwahati, host of GATE 2026, has published an official list of allowed two-paper subject combinations, providing candidates with more flexibility in exam planning. A brand-new subject paper has also been introduced, alongside clear guidelines for registration under the two-paper format.

AI + coding in industry adoption

Image
 “Vibe Coding” / AI-driven natural-language coding The concept of vibe coding (i.e. writing software via natural language prompts rather than detailed manual coding) is gaining traction.It’s being viewed as an extension of “software + AI agents” — letting people express intent, and letting AI fill in boilerplate, structure, and details.But there are warnings: automatically generated code can carry security risks (e.g. reintroducing known vulnerabilities) if not carefully reviewed. Agentic / AI coding tool advances  At DevDay 2025 , OpenAI introduced an Agent Kit and updates to its Codex model, to better support building AI agents.GitHub (via Copilot) is embedding agents that can autonomously fix bugs, add features, and improve documentation — operating within your repo, analyzing code context, and proposing changes.Microsoft is planning to evolve GitHub further to be more AI-native, so that coding, security, analytics, etc., are more tightly integrated.

Computer Science Among Majors With Highest Unemployment In US

Image
Computer science has been one of the most popular college majors in recent years. Many students choose it believing it offers strong job prospects and high salaries. However, recent data reveals a different story in the United States: many graduates are struggling to find jobs in the field. According to a report by Newsweek, based on data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, computer science ranks seventh among undergraduate majors with the highest unemployment rate-currently at 6.1 percent. This places it just behind other majors like physics (7.8 percent). HR consultant Bryan Driscoll told Newsweek that many students are given unrealistic expectations about what a computer science degree guarantees. He pointed out that despite working hard and choosing a "top" major, many graduates face tough competition, limited opportunities, and growing student debt. He added that in the current market, a candidate's background or university name often outweighs their actual sk...
