As India’s tech job market enters FY27, a cautious trend has emerged, particularly impacting entry-level roles designed for candidates with up to two years of experience. According to a recent report, entry-level openings have remained stagnant at 15,000 for the second consecutive month, with a concerning 11% year-on-year decline observed.

This shift in demand dynamics underscores a challenging scenario for newcomers entering the tech workforce in India. Roles tailored for freshers now constitute a mere 14% of the total job market, while mid-senior professionals continue to dominate, occupying a substantial 54% share of the job opportunities.

The decline in entry-level positions and the competitive environment favoring experienced professionals are creating heightened pressure for freshers seeking job placements in the tech industry.
