You have misread and misunderstood both the articles. When Mr. Murthy says 90% The 90% includes engineers from other fields like electrical, electronics (electric and electronic are 2 different things) Mechanical, civil etc who seek jobs in IT industry. Obviously they will lack software skills because that was out of their specialization. When he says it's because of education system, he means that these people cannot find jobs in their respective fields because of outdated syllabus, hence seeking jobs in IT industry.
The second article suggests that only 10% are startup engineer or developers. These are not the only jobs in IT. There are testers, cyber security officers, support engineer, data scientist, cloud, UI/UX and so many other fields.
PS. I am a Computer Engineer 😊
all BE other electronic mechanical civil do NIIT computer course of 3 years than only apply to IT jobs in It company. Otherwise no company take them except for non It jobs thats only 20%.
bec they have to pass entrance exam where technical It related questions are asked
i know software has techinical, consultant and management fields like PM, SPM, GPM etc
But 70% projects are coding or maintenance that require software knowledge
NRN is talking of ability to write code without error wich requires not only software skill but maths and analysis etc logical and reasoning skill sets apart from coding
I think hes saying same for all fields so we can assume 80% for It too
And big companies do not recruit only BE IT they recruit BE any field and BSc IT MCA etc
