I have a 2-year gap after college(B.E) since I was preparing for government exams. I still want to land a job in it, but the gap is widening, and I don't want to push it any further. Meanwhile, I have gained UI/UX skills and am preparing my portfolio. What other software skills do I acquire to enter the work force, like Cybersecurity and Data Analyst Courses? Will I still have a chance to be hired? Honestly, the gap has started to scare me(rightly so)... Any advice and suggestions will be of huge help.

Ans: Gap matters little if your knowledge is updated.Have certification course of AI and ML.Best of luck.Professor.........:)

6 years a long gap and it will be difficult for any IT company to hire you. Suggest you pursue academic stream. Do your masters and PhD and in the mean time take up teaching job in local college to begin with.

All the best

Sir I completed my 12th in 2020 joined graduation due to family crisis during covid I could only complete first year of graduation and from 2022 - 24 I had to work in a shop to support family expenses. Now I have rejoined my graduation and will complete it in 2026. My question is how do I land in a job in IT field with gaps in my education. Please give me a solution sir .

Ans: There is no gap. A gap is when you cant explain what you did in the missing time

you have a perfectly justifiable instance where you helped your family

just do internships and project works with your graduation and you will be in a good place for placements
