� Determine the top five in-demand Indian industries

While attempts were made to do this, I was unsuccessful at reaching a conclusion. The career consultants I’ve contacted said either: a) they could not make general comments about industries but would be able to tell me if candidates would be suitable for particular industries if provided with resumes/CV’s, or b) they would get back to me with answers after reviewing their work/data.

While I’m proceeding in researching the top five industries based on what I’ve personally found to be the industries that are most popular despite not accomplishing the above goal, if the consultants get back to me with their findings, I will get closer to a more accurate assessment of the job market.

What I’ve decided I’m going to do, rather than just get in touch with career consultants, is to ask those institutes, schools, and NGOs offering vocational training how they decided which vocational courses to offer. They, as well as career consultants and placement managers, must also have their pulse on the job market if they’ve decided to offer particular trainings over others.
