IT Recruitment Is Now Selective — Why Core Engineering Skills Are the Real Future

Recent headlines clearly signal a structural shift in India’s job market:
IT recruitment is no longer about mass hiring — it is about selective, niche skills.

Leading IT companies have slowed down large-scale recruitment and are hiring only for very specific, high-impact roles such as AI/ML, cybersecurity, cloud architecture, and advanced data engineering. Routine IT roles are increasingly automated, outsourced, or replaced by AI-driven systems.

This reality forces students and parents to ask an important question:

If traditional IT hiring is shrinking, where should future engineers invest their education?

The answer lies in core engineering disciplines — Mechanical, Electrical, and Electronics — integrated with Industry 4.0, AI, and real manufacturing exposure.


Why Core Engineering Is Making a Strong Comeback

While IT hiring has become selective, manufacturing, infrastructure, power, electronics, and industrial automation are seeing long-term, sustainable demand.

Unlike pure software roles:

  • Core engineering jobs cannot be fully automated
  • Physical systems still need human-led design, maintenance, and innovation
  • India’s focus on Make in India, semiconductor manufacturing, EVs, renewable energy, and smart factories is accelerating demand

Core engineers are required for:

  • Digital manufacturing & smart factories
  • Power systems & sustainable energy
  • Electronics, VLSI & semiconductor design
  • Industrial automation, robotics & CPS (Cyber-Physical Systems)

Industry-Integrated Engineering: The LTSU Advantage

At Lamrin Tech Skills University (LTSU), engineering education is reimagined for employability, not just degrees.

LTSU offers industry-integrated B.Tech programs in collaboration with L&T EduTech, ensuring students learn directly from industry leaders.

Why LTSU’s Model Is Different

  • Curriculum designed with real manufacturing & engineering needs
  • Training by L&T industry experts
  • One full year of paid On-the-Job Training (OJT/OJD)
  • Exposure to live industrial projects
  • Strong placement pathways in leading manufacturing and engineering firms
  • Half Fee – Pay After Placement model to reduce financial burden

This model bridges the biggest gap in Indian education:
the gap between classroom learning and industry readiness.
