AI Could Affect Entry-Level Tech Jobs for Indian Graduates, NASSCOM Warns
Published
Rajesh Nambiar, a senior leader at NASSCOM, the national association for India's software and services industry, has warned that artificial intelligence (AI) could affect entry-level technology jobs for Indian graduates. His comments draw attention to a question that many young people in India are now asking about their future careers.
According to his warning, automation is a particular concern for roles in coding and software testing. These tasks have long been a common starting point for fresh graduates who join the country's large IT sector. As AI tools become better at writing and checking computer code, companies may need fewer people to do this kind of basic work. This could make it harder for new graduates to find their first jobs in the industry.
The warning comes at a time when India's technology sector employs millions of people and plays a major role in the country's economy. Industry experts often say that workers will need to build new skills, such as working with AI tools, to stay competitive. Universities, training providers and companies may therefore need to change how they prepare students for the job market. The full impact of AI on employment is still unclear, and it is not yet known how quickly these changes will happen.
