The job market, once a landscape of boundless opportunities, is now characterized by uncertainty. The IT sector, traditionally a stronghold of employment for engineering graduates, is undergoing a seismic shift, with the sector witnessing its lowest intake of fresh engineers in over two decades. The placement blues are here to stay.

📉 Dwindling Opportunities in the job market

According to a recent article in Economic Times, Indian software companies will hire a mere 70,000 to 80,000 fresh engineers this fiscal year, marking a stark decline from the record 600,000 freshers hired at the peak of the technology services boom in fiscal 2022. The decline is attributed to factors such as reduced demand for digitization post-Covid-19, geopolitical conflicts, and the changing nature of work in the wake of the AI boom, leading to a downsizing of fresher hiring to about 250,000 in fiscal 2023.

💼 The Challenging Road Ahead

Staffing companies estimate that less than 10% of the expected 1.5 million engineering graduates will secure job placements, signaling a challenging environment for young professionals entering the workforce. Key IT players like Infosys and Wipro are expected to skip campus placements for a second consecutive year, while Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) plans to hire fewer freshers and recalibrate lateral hiring.
