Abstract
The rapidly evolving job market in India demands a reassessment of educational curricula to align with industry needs. This paper explores the significant gap between IT and management curricula and its impact on employability. Despite high demand for technical and managerial skills, the traditional separation of IT and management education often leaves graduates underprepared for interdisciplinary roles. This research examines the existing curricula in both domains, identifies key areas of discrepancy, and evaluates their effects on job readiness. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, including curriculum analysis and employer surveys, the paper highlights the necessity for curriculum integration to bridge this divide. Recommendations for interdisciplinary educational strategies and industry-academia collaboration are proposed to enhance employability and address skill mismatches. The study concludes that a more integrated approach to education could better equip graduates for the evolving job market, fostering improved career outcomes and economic growth.
