In this context, the following points are noteworthy.  \n• India’s test-preparation market is estimated at $14.8 billion in FY26 and projected to reach $23–26 billion by FY30, with around 2 lakh coaching centres.  \n• This large market reflects high demand, with around 27% of students taking private coaching, covering nearly 17–20 million students in Classes 9–12.  \n• Given this scale, AI can help provide free and personalised tutoring, particularly for students who cannot afford expensive coaching.  \n• To achieve this, the government need not replace private coaching; instead, it can create digital public infrastructure, while private firms, teachers and tutors provide content and mentoring.  \n• The model can initially focus on JEE and NEET, using standardised content, mock tests, doubt-solving and personalised learning through an open network.  \n• Such a network should ensure interoperability and studentowned learning data, allowing students to move across providers without losing their progress.  \n• Ultimately, the government should focus on standards, protocols, accreditation and equitable access, while AI and private providers drive tutoring, content and personalisation.  \nAn article titled “What the young want, and why creating good jobs is no longer optional” by Farzana Afridi in Indian Express examines the gap between youth aspirations and India’s labour-market realities. In this context, the following points are noteworthy:  \n• Less than 50% of India’s urban workforce is in salaried jobs, while among 24-year-olds, only one in three holds a salaried job.  \n• This limited formal employment base is reflected in the fact that only about 10% are in government jobs and 15% in the formal private sector, while around 40% are self-employed, mostly in small subsistence businesses.  \n• With such limited opportunities, there is a clear gap between youth aspirations and labour-market realities, particularly in securing preferred salaried jobs or becoming successful entrepreneurs.  \n• This gap is also visible in salary expectations, with job seekers expecting up to 40% more than actual earnings, and young men showing a larger mismatch than women.  \n• However, providing accurate information about job opportunities and salaries helped correct these expectations, particularly among men, though it also reduced their job-search intensity.  \n• Despite this adjustment in expectations, career aspirations remained largely unchanged, with young people continuing to seek formal-sector jobs and entrepreneurship.  \n• This highlights the need for structural transformation and formal job creation, offering regular wages, benefits and genuine career paths to realise the aspirations of India’s young workforce.  \nAn article titled “Why elephants need long corridors, and why SChas stepped in for them” by Nikhil Ghanekar in the Indian Express explains the ecological importance of elephant corridors and the Supreme Court’s intervention to protect them from fragmentation. In this context, the following points are noteworthy.  \n• Elephant corridors are movement pathways connecting natural habitats, enabling elephants to access food and water, disperse and maintain genetic diversity.  \n• These movements depend on seasonal food and water availability, habitat conditions, climate change and human disturbance, making corridor c","cbCaietxGWbj1qzD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaietxGWbj1qzD","pdf",207352,"English","# Key Headlines\n# Key Perspectives for Exam\n# Key Statistic for Exam\n# Good Phrases for Exam\n# Suggested Articles for Exam","[{\"question\":\"What does the AI tutor idea focus on for Indian students?\",\"answer\":\"It focuses on using AI-enabled digital public infrastructure to make quality test preparation more accessible and equitable, including free and personalised tutoring for students who cannot afford expensive coaching.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the youth jobs gap described in the labour-market analysis?\",\"answer\":\"Less than half of India’s urban workforce is in salaried jobs, and among 24-year-olds only one in three has a salaried job, contributing to a mismatch between youth aspirations and actual employment realities.\"},{\"question\":\"Why are elephant corridors important, and what intervention is mentioned?\",\"answer\":\"Elephant corridors connect natural habitats so elephants can access food and water, disperse, and maintain genetic diversity.
