Hello
Yes, you can definitely enter the IT industry even after a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering / Aerospace Engineering, if you have strong software & web development skills. Many IT companies focus more on skills than degree background.
How you can enter IT
Skills matter most: Programming (Python / Java / JavaScript), Web Development (HTML, CSS, React, Node), databases.
Build projects: Websites, apps, GitHub portfolio (very important).
Apply for roles:
Junior Software Developer
Web Developer
Front-end / Back-end Developer
QA / Automation Tester
IT Support / Technical Analyst (entry-level)
Degree requirement reality
Startups & MNCs: Often allow non-CS background if skills are strong.
Service companies (TCS, Infosys, Wipro): Some roles may require CS/IT degree, but skill-based hiring is increasing.
Product companies: Mostly skill + problem-solving based.
Best path for you
Learn DSA basics (helps in interviews).
Make 3–5 solid projects.
Create GitHub + LinkedIn profile.
