Is BTech losing its value?

In the past five years, there has been a steady decline in enrollment for B.Tech and B.E courses due to a reduction in job opportunities in core streams. Fresher hiring by IT companies has notably decreased, dropping from 26% of overall passouts in FY22 to 15% and 10% in FY23 and FY24, respectively. However, there is still hope in specialised areas such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity, which continue to experience niche demand. During 2022-23, there was a 9% decrease in fresher hiring compared to the previous year. It is anticipated that this trend will persist into FY24, with a further 5% decline expected.
