CSIT/BCA padheko sabbai IT sector tira jada oversaturated bho?
Go to any college in Kathmandu, and IT departments are overflowing. So yes, entry-level jobs (like React Developer Intern or Basic Frontend) might see 200+ applications per vacancy.But here's the secret: 80% of those applicants can barely write a full stack application.
How to beat the crowd?
Your BCA or CSIT degree is basically a piece of paper. To get a high paying job, you must do what average students hate doing:
- Don't just learn MERN. Everyone knows basic MongoDB, Express, React, Node. Learn deeper engineering: AWS, Docker, CI/CD, Go / Rust, or complex database optimization.
- Build REAL projects. Not just a "ToDo" app. Build an e-commerce, clone a SaaS platform, and deploy it live. Give the repo link in your resume.
- Contribute to Open Source. Companies look at your GitHub activity graph.
