IT jobs slip away from core engineering students as companies offer Rs. 10-12 LPA to CSE graduates: Here's how to win the placement race

Core engineering students face declining job opportunities as IT firms now prefer candidates with coding and database skills, per a TNN report. Previously open to all engineers, high-paying IT roles (₹10-12 LPA) now favor computer science graduates. With fewer core companies hiring, many shift to non-tech or ed-tech roles, raising concerns about their career prospects.
