Thousands of graduates from non-CS backgrounds B.Com, B.Sc, BA, MBA, Mechanical, Civil ask the same question: “Can I really move into IT?” The answer is yes.
In 2025, hiring managers care more about skills than degrees. With 1.4 million IT job openings across India (NASSCOM, 2025), career switchers are in high demand.

Python is beginner-friendly and designed for readability.
Why it’s perfect for non-IT learners:

  • Huge open-source community and tutorials

  • Fast results from small early projects

Python helps you think logically and build practically two traits employers value most.

You don’t need a CS degree just a plan.

  • Phase 1 (Weeks 1–4): Python basics and small CLI projects
  • Phase 2 (Weeks 5–8): HTML, CSS, JS, React, and a personal portfolio site
  • Phase 3 (Weeks 9–16): Django/Flask backend + REST APIs
  • Phase 4 (Weeks 17–20): SQL, hosting, AWS, CI/CD basics
  • Phase 5 (Weeks 21–26): Portfolio building, mock interviews, and deployment

  • Issue Tracker (React + Django REST)

Each project should include a README, screenshots, and a demo link.
