Technology & Software
India produces 1.5 million engineering graduates per year. Less than 20% are job-ready for software roles.
Technology and Software is the largest employer of engineering graduates in India. It spans software development, testing, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and DevOps. While the volume of roles is enormous, the competition is equally high — companies consistently report that most applicants cannot code a simple function, write a test case, or explain a cloud architecture. Proof of practical skill is what separates hired candidates from rejected ones.
