India tech hiring trends — July 2026 briefing for students

In brief: July’s student hiring conversations cluster around AI enablement, product analytics, and cybersecurity — with fewer pure “certificate” screens.

Teams are shortening interview loops but raising the bar on take-homes and portfolio depth. Expect more live problem-solving and less trivia.

Non-tech roles (ops, marketing, community) increasingly ask for AI workflow literacy and measurable experiments.

Geography still matters: hub cities and remote-friendly teams diverge on compensation and pace. Read total rewards carefully.

Why it matters

Students who adapt applications to this month’s signals — proof, clarity, AI judgement — convert better than those using last year’s templates.

What to watch next

• take-home rubrics
• AI-related JD language
