In today’s time, if the youth are asked which degree is considered best for a good job, then most of the people immediately answer MBA. For years it has been believed that after doing MBA, career paths open up faster, salary is good and job prospects are also more. But this year’s India Skills Report 2026 has surprised everyone.
This report made it clear that the picture of job giving degrees in India is now changing. The MBA which remained at the top for many years has now slipped back. Now a different field has taken its place. This field is computer science and IT. This report has been jointly released by big organizations like ETS (Educational Testing Service), CII, AICTE, Association of Indian Universities and Taggd. In such a situation, the credibility of the report increases even more.
Fast growing new employment opportunities in India
The report states that job opportunities for youth in India are continuously increasing, especially in sectors that are directly related to technology and digital skills. Today, huge investments are being made in areas like AI, cloud computing, cyber security, data analytics and digital technology. Companies want to have employees who understand new technology and can keep themselves updated with the changing times.
Why has the demand for computer science and IT graduates increased?
According to the report, youth with computer science and IT background are getting maximum jobs. The reason for this is the rapidly increasing use of AI and automation in companies, expansion of digital platforms, increasing need for data, emphasis on strengthening cyber security. Companies want such youth who are good not only in coding but also in engineering and data handling, that is, in today’s world, those who have technical and analytical skills are in highest demand.
In which sector are most jobs available?
IT sector is providing maximum jobs. According to the report, 35 percent freshers are getting jobs in the IT sector. This data shows that technology-related careers in India will remain strong for many years to come.
This report has given the biggest blow to MBA graduates. While last year the employment percentage of MBA people was 78 percent, this year it has come down to 72.76 percent, that is, the demand for MBA has reduced, and the first choice of companies is now not just management, but technology and analytical skills.
Big opportunity for commerce graduates also
It has also been told in the report that commerce has now become not just an ordinary degree but a strong job option. The demand for youth related to business analytics, finance and operation management in companies is continuously increasing. A very interesting trend was seen in the report. The employment rate of ITI graduates is 45.95 percent.
The employment of those with Polytechnic Diploma is 32.92 percent, which means that now many job opportunities are opening up not only for the youth with big degree but also for the youth with skill based education.
