Why English Speaking Is NOT Your Biggest Problem in IT.

When students from Uttar Pradesh—especially from cities like Bareilly, Moradabad, Pilibhit, Budaun, Lucknow, Agra, Meerut, Aligarh, Gorakhpur, Varanasi, Jhansi—think about joining the IT industry, their first fear is usually:

“Sir, my English is not good… will I get a job?”

But here’s the truth no one tells you:

English is NOT the biggest reason UP students fail interviews.

Lack of skills and confidence is.**

Let’s break this down with a real, ground-level understanding.

1. Companies Don’t Need English Experts — They Need Problem Solvers

When you apply for jobs in Noida, Gurugram, Pune, Hyderabad or Bangalore, recruiters don’t expect you to speak like news anchors.

They want:

• Clean code
• Logical thinking
• Problem-solving ability
• Basic communication, not perfect English
  

Most HR managers openly say, We hire for skills. English improves with time. So stop thinking fluent English is the main barrier.

2. The Real Problem in UP Cities: Lack of Confidence

Students from Bareilly or nearby towns often hesitate because they have never had real exposure.

They never:

• Presented a project
• Attended a hackathon
• Spoke to a mentor
• Explained code to a group
• Participated in GD/interview sessions
  

Because of this, even simple English sentences feel difficult. But this is not a “language problem.”This is an exposure problem.

3. Real Example: A Bareilly MCA Student Who Got Selected in Noida

Last year, a student from a college near Izzatnagar, Bareilly, cracked an IT job in Noida with a 5.5 LPA package.
His English was average, but his React + Node project impressed the company.

HR literally told him:
“Your communication is okay. Your skills are excellent. We can train you further.”

This is a common pattern across UP.

4. Students in Metro Cities Are Not Better — Just More Exposed

Bangalore and Pune students:

• Attend coding events
• Talk to developers
• Join college clubs
• Present projects often
  

UP students:

• Focus on notes
• Focus on passing exams
• Rarely practice communication
• Don’t get corporate interactions
  

Result? Even a talented student from Bareilly feels weaker — not because of English, but due to a lack of practice.

5. You Only Need Simple, Clear English — Not Fancy English

Companies only want you to:

• Explain your project
• Talk about your skills
• Answer technical questions clearly
• communicate in a respectful manner
  

You don’t need British accent English or “fancy vocabulary.”
Basic, clear communication is enough.

Final Thought

If you build good technical skills + real projects, even average English won’t stop you.
Confidence grows automatically when your skills grow.
