AI Could Reshape Entry-Level Tech Jobs for Indian Graduates, NASSCOM Warns
Published
The head of NASSCOM, India's main body for the software and services industry, has warned that artificial intelligence (AI) could affect entry-level technology jobs in the country. Rajesh Nambiar made the comments at a time when many young graduates are looking for their first jobs in the tech sector.
According to the warning, automation is a particular concern for routine work in coding and software testing. These are tasks that many new engineers usually do when they start their careers. AI tools are now able to write basic code and check software for errors, so companies may need fewer people to do these tasks. This could make it harder for fresh graduates to find their first positions.
However, the warning does not mean that all tech jobs will disappear. Experts often say that AI changes the type of work people do rather than removing it completely. Workers may need to learn new skills, such as working with AI tools, understanding data, or handling more complex problems. Universities and companies may therefore need to adjust their training programmes to prepare students for these changes.
India's technology sector is one of the largest employers of graduates in the country, so any change in entry-level hiring is important for millions of young people and their families. The situation will be closely watched in the coming years as companies decide how to use AI in their daily operations.
