Dibrugarh: Dipti Deb, a research scholar from Chabua in Dibrugarh, is garnering international acclaim for her groundbreaking work in the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for early breast cancer detection.
Currently pursuing her PhD in the department of computer science and engineering at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Rourkela, she is under the mentorship of Prof. Ratnakar Dash and Durga Prasad Mohapatra.
Dipti recently showcased her innovative research at the 47th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society held in Copenhagen, Denmark. Her paper, titled "BreastHistoNet: An Efficient Breast Cancer Histopathological Image Classification Using Multi-Scale Features and Channel Recalibration", presents a cutting-edge computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system.
This system integrates mammogram, ultrasound, and histopathology images, providing a more accurate and timely detection of breast cancer.
The promising results from her tests indicate that the AI-driven approach could significantly enhance diagnostic capabilities in the healthcare sector, capturing the attention of attendees and experts alike.
The innovation has already garnered multiple accolades, including the Best Poster Award at the 13th International Conference on Soft Computing for Problem Solving (SocProS 2025) held at IIT Roorkee.

NIT-Calicut sustains placement streak amid hiring slump
Kozhikode: Despite the challenges posed by reduced hiring in IT and many other sectors, National Institute of Technology-Calicut (NIT-C) has been able to secure placements for 930 students — 72% of the registered students. Notably, 103 students have received offers with packages exceeding Rs 25 lakh per annum (LPA). The highest package for the 2024–2025 placement season is Rs 43.2 LPA while the overall average salary offered stands at Rs 12.8 LPA, Rs 13.3 LPA for BTech and Rs 11.5 LPA for MTech NIT-C authorities said that the figure around the same time last year was 937, eventually reaching 1,080 with 77% of registered students. "With placements still ongoing for 2025 graduating batch, it is expected to cross last year's percentage," they said. "With many companies still requesting dates to visit the campus, we are hopeful of crossing the 1,000 mark again this year. That would make it four years in a row," says Vinay V Panicker, chairperson of Centre for Career Development (CCD). NITC authorities said that the achievement has come at a time when the Indian job market is exhibiting mixed trends. "While some sectors are growing, others are slowing down. The IT industry, in particular, is witnessing reduced hiring, and even layoffs, driven by global economic uncertainty and rising automation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top 15 Most Beautiful Women in the World Undo In contrast, the manufacturing and core engineering sectors are experiencing growth in hiring," NIT-C authorities said. Circuit branches continue to lead the way in placements, with 81.2% of students placed and an average salary of Rs 18.6 LPA. Core engineering branches have also seen a jump in average salary, from Rs 8.71 LPA last year to Rs 11.8 LPA this year. Interestingly, the basic science courses also saw a boost in this year's placements, with an average salary of Rs 10 LPA and the highest salary at Rs 27.1 LPA.

Foundation laid for aerospace, defence testing lab in Trichy
Trichy: The foundation for Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation's (TIDCO) advance mechanical and material defence testing lab was laid at the Thuvakudi Sidco industrial estate near NIT Trichy campus on Monday. The lab proposed at 50 crore under the public-private collaboration involves BEML and HAL. Under the Defence Testing Infrastructure Scheme (DTIS), the lab, System Testing and Research in Advanced Material (STREAM), will have infrastructure comprising 40 testing machinery spread over 13,000sqft floor area. The state govt has a built-up space of 3,000sqft at the industrial estate which will be utilised as an office space. Separate facility will be constructed for the common testing centre to accommodate high-end machines to provide quality certification and validation services. "Construction work for the lab will be completed in nine months," said Angayasamy Subbiah, managing partner, Vaidheswaran Industries, a partner of the proposed lab.
