Why Thousands of Tech Graduates Still Struggle to Find Jobs – The Story Behind Yutthan

13.03.26 08:40 AM - By Yutthan


Every few months, Prashish, the CEO of an IT company, used to post job openings on LinkedIn and other hiring platforms. The goal was simple — hire a few interns or professionals for the company.

But every time he posted a job opening, something shocking happened.

Within days, more than 500 applications would flood in.

At first glance, this might seem like a great thing — a huge pool of candidates. But what Prashish discovered during the interviews was deeply concerning.

Most of these applicants were B.Tech and BCA students or recent graduates, yet very few had the practical skills required to work in an IT company.

And that’s where the real problem began to reveal itself.


The Real Problem: Graduates Without Practical Skills


When Prashish started interviewing candidates, he began to notice a pattern.

Almost every student had worked on the same type of college projects, such as:

  • A weather forecast website

  • A basic calculator application

  • A simple portfolio website

  • A student management system

Many of these projects were either copied from the internet, incomplete group projects, or assignments where the candidate had minimal involvement.

Very few students had worked on:

  • Real client projects

  • Live software systems

  • Production-level applications

But there was another surprising observation.


The “One Skill Problem” in IT Graduates


During interviews, Prashish realized that most candidates knew only one skill — basic web development.

Almost every student he interviewed had some basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, or simple JavaScript, but very few had exposure to other important areas of technology.

For example, very few candidates had any idea about fields like:

  • Artificial Intelligence

  • Automation and RPA

  • Cloud Computing

  • Data Engineering

  • Cybersecurity

  • DevOps

  • Enterprise software platforms


In reality, the entire IT industry is vast and diverse, with hundreds of different roles and specializations.

Yet most students were limited to basic web development, often learned through tutorials or short online courses.

Because of this, many candidates ended up building similar and repetitive projects, which made their profiles look almost identical.

This lack of exposure to different areas of IT was a major reason why many talented students struggled to stand out in interviews.


The Harsh Reality of the Job Market


Every year, lakhs of students graduate from colleges in India with degrees like B.Tech, BCA, and other technical programs.

But here is the harsh reality.

If 100,000 students graduate, there might only be 10,000 job opportunities available.

This means that not everyone will get a job, no matter how hard they try.

Many talented young graduates end up:

  • Searching for jobs for months or even years

  • Facing rejection repeatedly

  • Feeling lost about their career direction

And slowly, frustration begins to grow.


The Trap of Endless Online Courses


When these students struggle to find jobs, many turn to online learning platforms.

They begin taking courses from:

  • YouTube tutorials

  • Online learning platforms

  • Social media educators

Initially, it feels productive.

They believe they are improving their skills.

But after completing a course, the result is often the same.

They still cannot find a job.

So they take another course.

And then another.

Eventually, many students fall into a cycle of course after course without real-world exposure or income.

They gain theoretical knowledge but fail to build a strong portfolio that employers actually value.


The Freelancing Illusion


Some students attempt another path — freelancing platforms.

They create profiles hoping to start earning money and gain experience.

But freelancing requires professional skills, communication ability, and real project experience.

Without proper preparation, many beginners face problems such as:

  • Not getting any projects

  • Delivering poor-quality work due to lack of experience

  • Receiving negative feedback

  • Getting their accounts banned

  • Being exploited by clients

After these experiences, many students begin to believe freelancing itself is unreliable or unsafe.

But the reality is that they were simply never trained to work professionally as freelancers.


The Emotional Impact on Young Graduates


This situation affects more than just careers.

Many young graduates begin to:

  • Lose confidence in their abilities

  • Feel like they are falling behind in life

  • Spend months sitting at home searching for opportunities

  • Experience stress and even depression

These are talented individuals who simply lack the right opportunities and guidance.

And this is exactly the problem Yutthan was created to solve.


What is Yutthan?


Yutthan is an initiative , created with a simple but powerful mission:

To help young students and graduates build real skills, gain practical experience, and earn a living and not just only sell them just another course. 

Yutthan focuses on students who are:

  • Still in college

  • Recent graduates

  • From technical backgrounds such as BCA, B.Tech, and other IT fields

Instead of just teaching theory, Yutthan focuses on building real-world capability.


How Yutthan Programs Are Different


Unlike many platforms that launch dozens of short courses every year, Yutthan takes a very different approach.

The team conducts extensive research before creating any program.

Because of this, Yutthan releases only one or two programs per year, but each program is designed to be extremely in-depth.

These programs are built to focus on:

  • Skills that are currently in high demand

  • Skills that will remain relevant in the future

  • Practical implementation rather than theory

Most programs last one year to one and a half years, ensuring students develop deep expertise.

  • Real-world problem solving

This helps them:

By the time they finish the program, they are no longer beginners — they are capable professionals ready to deliver real work.


The Yutthan Marketplace: Where Learning Meets Earning

This is where Yutthan becomes truly unique.

After completing the program and passing the final evaluation, students receive the Yutthan Certification.

Once certified, they are listed on the Yutthan Marketplace Platform.

Unlike traditional freelancing platforms, the clients on this platform are Yutthan clients.

Because of this, only developers who are very experienced or have successfully completed the training are allowed to work on the platform.

This ensures:

  • High-quality work for clients

  • Fair opportunities for trained developers


Earn While You Grow


Once developers enter the Yutthan Marketplace, they can start working on real projects.

They can choose to work:

  • Part-time, alongside studies

  • Full-time, building a professional freelance career

This allows young developers to:

  • Gain real experience

  • Build strong portfolios

  • Earn income

  • Grow professionally


A New Future for Young Talent

Not just to teach skills.

But to create opportunities for young talent.
