In recent years, the integration of AI and machine learning has revolutionized the hiring process, making it more efficient, inclusive, and accessible. Our expectations from this budget are centered on continued support for digital infrastructure and technology-driven solutions that can streamline recruitment and foster entrepreneurial growth.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on last year\u2019s budget, which laid a solid foundation for digital transformation by allocating funds for AI research and promoting startup ecosystems, we hope this year\u2019s budget will build upon those initiatives. Specifically, we are looking for increased investment in AI research and development, enhancing talent acquisition, and matching candidates with the right opportunities more accurately.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is evident that many colleges and educational institutions are still lacking in technology, infrastructure, and resources. For instance, several institutions struggle with outdated computer labs, limited access to high-speed internet, and insufficient training programs for both students and faculty. These gaps hinder the ability of institutions to adequately prepare students for a tech-driven job market. Last year\u2019s budget did not allocate sufficient funds to address these critical areas, leaving a significant portion of our educational infrastructure under-equipped for the future.<\/p>\n<p>We believe that the upcoming budget should prioritize substantial investments in educational technology and infrastructure. This includes upgrading computer labs, ensuring widespread access to high-speed internet, and providing robust training programs for digital skills. By doing so, we can better prepare our future workforce to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving job market,\u201d says Manikanth Challa, Founder &amp; CEO, Workruit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nvar _mfq = window._mfq || [];\n_mfq.push([\"setVariable\", \"toi_titan\", window.location.href]);\n!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n         function setAttributes() {\n                    var prime_user_status = window.isPrime ?
