Computers & IT (Non-Engg)

Avi,
I am not sure how good you are with Maths and programming. If you are, then you must pick up a language whether PHP/ HTML5 (web dev), .Net (for software development), Java/ Android (for apps) or C#/ Unity (for games).
However, like I mentioned, you must be good with programming to move ahead in this area since you have to compete with other MCAs and B.Tech (CS) applicants. So, choose your internship/ industrial training very carefully. Do not just go for the cheapest to save money. See the IT Company's credentials on the net. For example, if someone provides LIVE PROJECTS, are they there near the TOP on PORTALS like JustDial? Or, if the company is registered with STPI (Software Technology Parks of India) - all good IT companies are registered with STPI. If a company spends money to market themselves to customers, only then they are able to get LIVE PROJECTS.
Also, if you are an average programmer, and if you you're better with creative work, you can head for web design or even VFX/ Animation since there is a huge requirement coming up in that domain. Games Design and Games Programming/ Development.
Wish you the best for your career. Remember, your Career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion and expression ability. If you like this answer, you may select it as the best answer or press like.

Hi Rohit,
As a programmer, you will be expected to be proficient in at least one language like Java or C+. However, you can always switch to other language that excites you intellectually keeping in mind that PHP, Python and Ruby are also very much exciting and useful in some situations of software development. The skills required as:
1. Problem solving.
2. Good command of data structures and algorithmic techniques (not necessarily know sophisticated stuff, but know how to use basic structures and techniques to most efficiently solve a huge array of problems).
3. Thorough coding abilities - translate your approach to code quickly. Debug and get it working for all possible corner cases. And yes, no pseudocode. Syntactic & semantic correctness is required. Comfort with a popular programming language (typically C/Java/Python) is most essential.
4. In case of a reasonably experienced candidate, system design skills (or) solving large scale data problems also become very relevant. If applying for a very specific team (such as mobile development or networking, for instance), of course, knowledge of that domain will be tested.
