Is IT still the hottest career path in India?

The wave of IT jobs started sometime around the end of the last century and has lasted for a long time. IT jobs became a rage in India and engineers from all the different disciplines ( civil, electrical, mechanical, chemical, mining etc.) started getting jobs in IT companies.

I wish to ask CEans about their opinion whether IT is still the hottest career path in India. Or have the mainstreem 'core engineering' jobs are becoming more popular day by day? What's your take?

    Not exactly We are able to see a dip in the number of intakes from colleges into top IT companies

    And also a craze of higher studies is the talk of the hour where we find most of our seniors preferring to finish their higher studies than to work in IT sector

    Finally my class mates are all in the mind of working in a Core company to an IT firm in India

    Its the core that is heating up now. IT is slowly becoming un-attractive for enginners from other trade. Most of my classmates and college mates are interested with core engineering jobs rather than IT. The tide is subsiding i guess.

    Most of the times, IT jobs are adopted not by choice but due to fear of staying jobless. That's all... Who wants to sit in front of computer with a BA graduate side-by, when they spent 4 years between the motors and circuits having genuine passion for core fields.
