Hello Kowshik,
Here are two ideas:
1 ) Get inspired by job posts: hop on LinkedIn and find three job listings that spark your interest. Look for the skills, certifications or education they list. A quick way to spot what’s in demand and start planning your next steps.
2) Learn from alumni: find grads from your uni in roles that seem interesting to you. Study their profiles to see what skills or experiences helped them get there. You can also reach out and ask for advice!

Hi Kowshik,
With your tech degree, you're ready to explore some exciting areas to grow. Start by honing your problem-solving skills—learn how to tackle and fix technical issues effectively. Practice explaining these solutions in simple terms so anyone can understand. Stay open to change and keep up with new technologies; this shows your adaptability. Teamwork is key, so have a great story ready about working well with others. Networking is perhaps the most crucial skill. Many jobs aren't advertised, so reach out on LinkedIn to connect with people at companies you're interested in. This can open doors and help you decide if a company is the right fit for you. Keep pushing forward, and great opportunities will come your way!

Hi Kowshik!
Why do not find some of the IT field-companies and see what positions they have and what require.
I am actually from different industry but once I am watching IT field job hunters most of them require developers and swift language of programming but that’s a little answer to your question sadly, but that is what I know.
Hope it helps,
Regards,
Narina

Hello Kowshik,
While addressing your question, it is important to understand in which domain you have completed your education. Colleague education comes into play primarily to have a basic understanding of the Tech you might hold an interest in or your potential calibre in any skill set.
IT industry is a vast spectrum that doesn't necessarily require an education background only in engineering. You can start by exploring the domain that is aligned with your highest education; then you can start exploring Jobs for various streams of IT from the Technical front like Database administrator or Database developer, Product analyst, Customer Support, DevOps,UI developer, etc.
While exploring a Job on a portal like LinkedIn, Naukari, or any other mode, it's always good to pay attention to the desired skillset and its day-to-day operation.
At the entry-level, you can start working on some of the basic skill sets like Linux and Operating systems, Database and SQL queries, Networking, and related concepts; these will give you a beginner's understanding of the IT skill set needed to enter the industry. Later, based on your interest, you can continue to explore and learn another skill set in the IT industry. There are ample tutorials on YouTube to start learning suggested skills.
I hope the answer might help you in starting your journey. All the best!

Hi Kowshik! It’s totally okay to feel unsure after college, what matters now is taking action. To break into the IT field, start with the most in-demand and beginner-friendly skills. Learn basic networking and computer systems through something like the CompTIA A+ certification. Then move on to learning technical skills like SQL for databases, basic scripting with Python or PowerShell, and understanding operating systems (Windows and Linux). If you’re interested in support roles, cloud basics like AWS or Microsoft Azure can also be helpful. Hands-on practice, even in home labs or free online courses, will boost your confidence. Pick one area to start, build consistently, and you’ll open doors sooner than you think. Good luck!
