Here are five programming languages that you should consider learning this year to improve job opportunities.

IIT Roorkee professor develops software to detect COVID19 in 5 second..

A professor at IIT-Roorkee has developed a software, which he claimed, can detect COVID-19 within five seconds. Kamal Jain IIT Roorkee’s Civil Engineering Department claimed that he took 40 days to develop the software, which will not only reduce time, but also testing costs drastically. At present, it takes about 24 to 48 hours to get COVID19 test results, and costs around Rs 4,500. The IIT professor also claimed that the new software will also reduce the risk of exposure to healthcare professionals. However, there has been no verification of his claim by any medical institution, including the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR). But, Kamal Jain is confident about his software, and has already filed a patent for the technique, and has also approached the ICMR for a endorsement. He claimed to have developed an AI-based database, which can analyze more than 60,000 X-ray scans, including those of COVID19, pneumonia and TB patients in about five seconds. In the pro...
