It’s July 2025, and every time you open LinkedIn, a new shockwave hits:
“TCS to Lay Off 12,000 – Cites ‘Skill Mismatch’, Not AI Automation”
“Google, Infosys Rush to Hire AI, Data Science Grads – Old-School Coders Left Behind”
“Freshers With Data Skills Bag ₹18 Lakh Offers, Traditional Engineers Get the Pink Slip”
Tech isn’t just in the news—it is the news. If you’re about to pick a career, you can’t afford to miss what’s really happening behind those headlines.
What is B.Tech in Computer Science Engineering (CSE), and Why Does it Matter Now More than Ever?
Today, B.Tech in CSE means learning to build the tech that runs the world like AI chatbots, fintech apps, health-tech tools, even self-driving cars. You’ll study everything from Python and Java to how Google Search and Netflix algorithms work.
Latest Example:
Did you know that the CEO of TCS recently blamed 12,000 layoffs not on AI, but on employees’ skills becoming “quietly outdated”? In a world moving this fast, CSE is your passport to never becoming obsolete.
Why is CSE Still the Most Demanded Branch?
The jobs of yesterday are vanishing. New-age CSE grads are stepping into roles with titles that didn’t exist 5 years ago:
- AI Product Manager
- Data Science Analyst
- Cloud Security Engineer
- Blockchain Developer
Recent stat:
According to NASSCOM’s July 2025 report, India added 2.2 lakh new jobs in AI, Data Science, and Cybersecurity this year alone. Who’s filling them? CSE grads who upskilled in the right direction.
Meanwhile, “traditional” IT support and basic coding jobs are shrinking or being automated away. The message from every recruiter: specialize, or be left behind.
GHRSTU Nagpur’s industry partnerships and curriculum updates mean students here are among the first to learn the technologies recruiters want today, not just yesterday’s syllabus.
Myth-Buster: Is CSE Just For Coders and Geniuses?
It’s easy to think CSE is only for “math toppers.”
But in 2025, tech giants are hiring graduates for their creativity, critical thinking, and how quickly they can learn new tech—not just textbook scores.
Stories to learn from:
Ritika started CSE with average grades but a passion for gaming. By third year, she’d interned at a startup building AI-powered game characters—now, she’s got a job offer from a Bengaluru gaming studio.
The secret? CSE opens doors for every kind of problem-solver, not just code-crunchers.
