After the 12th, most students feel stuck at the exact same point — “What should I do now?”
Some follow what their friends are doing, some listen to relatives, and some keep scrolling the internet trying to figure out what’s actually worth studying.
The truth is, the job market has changed more in the last few years than in the previous ten. Traditional degrees are still important, but they don’t guarantee skills. And without skills, companies simply don’t want to hire. That’s the hard reality.
This is where IT courses come into the picture. The IT industry is growing insanely fast, and the demand for skilled people is way more than the supply. You don’t need to be a topper. You don’t need to be a maths genius. You just need the right training and consistency.
If you're looking for job-oriented, skill-based training, Skill For Career (SFC) in Faridabad is one of the institutes that has been helping students build real careers in IT. We see students improve their skills week by week, and many of them land good jobs even before completing their training.
Below is a long, honest, student-friendly breakdown of the best IT courses you can take after the 12th for high salary growth.
1. Full Stack Web Development
Web development is probably the most popular choice among students, and there’s a reason for that. Every business needs a website, whether it’s a shop, school, hospital, builder, or an online store. Companies hire developers all year round.
Full stack simply means you learn both sides:
- Front end → how the website looks
- Back end → how the website works
You get a complete understanding of how to build a website from scratch.
What students learn at SFC:
- HTML, CSS, JavaScript
- Frameworks like React
- Backend with Node.js
- Database, hosting, deployment
- Real client-like projects
Freshers usually start around 3 to 6 LPA, but with a good portfolio, it grows quickly. Many students even take freelance projects on the side.
This course is great for students who want a stable job and a clear path ahead.
2. Graphic Designing & UI/UX Design
Not everyone loves coding, and that’s totally fine. A big number of students come to us saying, “I want to do something creative.”
Graphic design is the perfect fit for that.
Everything you see online — banners, posters, festival creatives, YouTube thumbnails, logos, brochures — all of that is done by designers. And UI/UX designers work on the layout of apps and websites, which is again a huge demand area.
What students learn:
- Adobe Photoshop
- Illustrator
- CorelDRAW
- Basics of layout & fonts
- UI/UX principles
- App & web design
Designing is also great because it gives you income flexibility. Students can earn through freelancing, part-time work, or projects for local businesses.
Starting salary is around 3–7 LPA, but designers with strong portfolios earn very well.
3. Digital Marketing
Digital marketing has completely changed the way brands grow. Whether it’s a small shop or a big company, everyone needs online promotion today.
This field suits students who like social media, creativity, ads, content, and strategy work.
At SFC, digital marketing training covers things that companies actually use daily:
You learn:
- SEO (ranking websites on Google)
- Google Ads
- Meta Ads (Facebook + Instagram)
- Content marketing
- Social media growth
- Email marketing
One reason students choose this field is because jobs are achievable even for beginners. Companies prefer practical skills over degrees.
Freshers can expect around 3–8 LPA, depending on skills and portfolio.
4. Data Analytics & Advanced Excel
If you’re good with numbers, or even if you just like working on a computer in a structured way, data analytics is a fantastic option. Every company deals with data — whether it’s sales numbers, marketing performance, customer records, or reports.
Good data analysts help companies make smart decisions, so they’re paid well.
At Skill For Career, the course includes:
- Excel (basic to advance level)
- Power Query
- Power BI
- SQL
- Data visualization
- Real business datasets
One great thing about this field is that it’s not limited to IT companies. Banks, hospitals, real estate firms, marketing agencies — everybody hires analysts.
Freshers usually start from 4–10 LPA, and it scales very well.
5. Mobile App Development (Android / iOS / Flutter)
Every service you use today — food delivery, shopping, banking — works through mobile apps. Because of this, companies always need app developers.
Students who enjoy creating new features or experimenting with apps usually love this field.
What you learn:
- Android (Java/Kotlin)
- Flutter (for both Android & iOS)
- App UI
- API & backend
- Testing and publishing apps
App development salaries start high compared to many other fields, often around 5–12 LPA for freshers.
6. Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking
Cybersecurity is one of those fields that grows every single year. More businesses online → more threats → more cybersecurity experts needed.
This course suits students who enjoy deep technical learning, exploring systems, or understanding how digital security works.
Course includes:
- Networking
- Ethical hacking tools
- Security testing
- Web & server security
- Vulnerability assessment
The best part is the salary range. Cybersecurity professionals start at 6–15 LPA, and experienced ones earn far more.
