Introduction
Generative Artificial Intelligence, an integral part of our digital landscape, encompasses AI systems capable of producing text, images, music, or code. Utilizing language model AI tools like ChatGPT, students increasingly rely on AI for tasks ranging from writing code to crafting essays, driven by a desire for instant gratification. A Forbes survey revealed that 89% of students use generative AI for academic support. Understanding AI's role is crucial for acquiring valuable skills and staying current in evolving industries.

A total of 54 participants were surveyed, with 48 respondents completing the survey. Demographically, the participants included 11 males, 30 females, five non-binary individuals, and 2 who preferred not to disclose, with ages ranging from 19 to 45 years old. The research questions were evaluated within two standard deviations from the means to identify outliers. The study shows positive views on AI integration in education but reveals diverse opinions on ChatGPT's impact. Future research will delve deeper, considering factors like grade levels, gender, and academic standing for a comprehensive understanding of ChatGPT's influence on college students' learning experiences.
Comparing the Risk and Return Trade Off in India Using Different Market Capitalization Indices
-
Introduction
Our research examines the traditional risk-return relationship in the stock market, particularly among small-cap, mid-cap, and large-cap stocks. While historically, larger companies were considered lower risk with lower returns compared to smaller, more volatile counterparts, recent market trends challenge this notion. We explore whether the perceived risk-return profile still holds in today's market, focusing on indices like NIFTY Smallcap 100 and NIFTY LargeMidcap 250. By comparing their performance against the NIFTY50, we aim to provide insights into investment strategies suitable for different risk profiles, aiding individuals in managing their finances effectively.

Research Questions
Does small cap index have more volatility compared to mid and large cap Indices?
Does small cap index give greater returns (CAGR) than mid and large cap Indices?
Does small cap index give better returns than NIFTY 50?
Does small cap index have more volatility than NIFTY 50?
Does Traditional Risk- Return Trade-off Hold true in case of small cap, mid cap and large cap indexes?
-
Findings
The risk-return trade-off theorem suggests that higher-risk investments should yield higher returns. Small-cap stocks typically offer greater returns but with higher volatility compared to mid-cap and large-cap stocks. Analysis of indices from April 1, 2007, to March 31, 2018, confirms this trend, with small-cap stocks exhibiting the highest volatility (24%) and mid-cap stocks showing the highest compound annual growth rate (18%). This challenges the traditional risk-return trade-off, suggesting mid-cap stocks as favorable investment options offering high returns with moderate risk.
