You do not need an engineering degree to start in IT. Students from B.Com, BCA, B.Sc, BA and other degrees, and people returning after a career gap, get into tech every year. The key is choosing a course that starts from the basics and gives you real projects.
Courses to consider
- Data Analytics: Excel, SQL, Power BI and Tableau. Good if you like numbers and do not want heavy coding.
- Digital Marketing: SEO, ads, social media and content. No coding needed.
- Python Full Stack: build web applications. Starts from zero coding.
- Java Full Stack: a widely used stack for large company projects. Starts from the basics.
- Cloud Computing (AWS and DevOps): Linux, AWS and DevOps tools. Good if you like systems and infrastructure.

How to choose
- Pick the kind of work you enjoy: numbers, building, systems or marketing.
- Check the syllabus starts from the basics.
- Make sure the course includes real projects.

If you have a career gap
