Your degree is a start — not your ceiling

Entry-level tech hiring, including QA

Final-year students asking about L0 to L2 engineering and testing roles should read the sourced note on whether AI replaces QA testers. Business Standard (1 November 2026) quoted LTM’s chief delivery officer: new deals no longer include an L0 role, while the company still plans to hire at least 6,000 fresh graduates into different roles. Nomura reports 131,000 AI-related hirings and 61,000 firings in an Asia announcement sample, and cites an ICRIER survey in which 55 percent of 651 IT firms reported lower entry-level hiring.
