44% of engineering students eye gig work: Autonomy, skills, and extra cash drive trend; says NASSCOM report
HYDERABAD: Be it for the flexibility, the chance to make some extra money, or for skill development, gig work has become the go-to option for students in higher educational institutions in recent times. According to the Building the Next Generation of Tech Professionals report, released by NASSCOM recently, 44% of students are interested in gig work or freelancing. Reasons range from the autonomy it offers, increased access, and educational and institutional support. The survey was conducted in over 200 engineering colleges. "Apart from regular internships and projects, I took up several projects, right from my second year of BTech to build my resume," said Karthikeya B, who completed his BTech in 2025 and secured a job with Rs 40 lakh as annual package. He added: "While my coursework focused on web development using Python, I learned and did projects on web development using Java scripts on the side. In my third year, I did projects based on machine learning, deep learning, and cyber security.

To earn while studying B Tech, I learned image and video editing using YouTube and now charge influencers for making thumbnails for memes and video editing," said a student of JNTUH University College of Engineering, Science & Technology. He said that this gig work will help him earn a livelihood if he fails to secure a job after engineering or will become a source of side income in the future. "I am also doing projects on user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) to stand out from the crowd during placements," he added. Faculty in these colleges say that they are encouraging students to take up various projects and internships, as coursework alone will not help them secure a job or build their own firm. "Those students who work on building their resume right from the start and are putting efforts to acquire various skills and are getting high-paying jobs," said Bangarraju Jampana, TPO, BV Raju Institute of Technology (BVRIT) adding students too have realised the importance of taking up projects or internships to gain practical exposure.
