2026 — A practical path to your first software engineering job in India, whether you’re a fresher or a non-IT switcher.

1. Pick a track

Full-stack, cloud/DevOps, or AI/ML. All start from the same base: one language + problem solving.

2. Core skills

One language (Python or Java), data structures & algorithms, SQL, Git, and the basics of the web or cloud.

3. Build projects

Two or three deployed projects with a live URL/GitHub — the single biggest hiring signal for freshers.

4. Interview prep

DSA practice, project deep-dives, and scenario questions. Add AI/GenAI awareness — it’s increasingly expected.

5. Apply + get placed

Strong ATS resume + LinkedIn, referrals, and consistent applications. See our Python, AI and non-IT to software paths, and live roles on the jobs board.
