Report Highlights Mismatch Between Entry-Level Engineers and Job Opportunities in India
India's engineering job market shows a significant mismatch between candidate supply and demand, especially at the entry level. Professionals with zero to three years of experience constitute about 45% of active candidates but only 28% of job openings. Conversely, engineers with four to ten years of experience represent 42% of candidates but account for 54% of jobs. The overall ratio stands at nearly six candidates per job, varying widely across engineering disciplines, with electronics and instrumentation facing the highest competition.
