In a dynamic job market where technological advancements drive industry growth, B.Tech graduates are discovering that their high-end degrees alone may not suffice requiring additional skills.

Campus recruiters now seek candidates with that “extra topping”—additional skills in emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and the Internet of Things (IoT). 

These graduates, armed with specialized knowledge, are not only more employable but also command significantly higher salaries compared to their peers with traditional B.Tech degrees.

Skills in Emerging Technologies & The Impact on Salaries

Campus placements have taken a new turn. Recruiters actively seek candidates who have gone beyond the standard curriculum. What constitutes this extra topping?

B.Tech graduates who have proactively upskilled in AI, ML, and IoT these cutting-edge fields are in high demand. Their ability to apply AI algorithms, analyze data using ML models, and understand IoT ecosystems sets them apart.

Candidates who have interned or apprenticed at firms gain practical exposure. Real-world projects in data sciences, additive manufacturing, CAD/CAM, and business analytics enhance their employability.

The pay packets tell the story. While plain B.Tech graduates have seen stagnant salaries over the past few years, those with AI, ML, or IoT skills have experienced a remarkable rise.
