gestprivatesectoremployerwithover4,500Itcompaniesandwithover10millionemployees across India with the
most high-paying jobs. Cyber security is a key component in IT-sector providingboth public and private, job
opportunities. As per the Data Security Council of India (DSCI) report the cybersecurity industry employed
around 1.30-2 lakhs people in 2020 as in contrast to 1.10 lakh in 2019 and it isexpected to have10 lakh
employees by 2025. With demonetization and the subsequent implementation ofdigital payments, transactions
and need for work-from-home the current need, the DSCI expects the demand forcyber security products and
services to rise. The demand is mostly coming from the domestic companies in thecountry because nowadays
multinational companies are investing more on Cyber Security projects in India. Inorder the IT industry
NASSCOM launched Cyber Security Task Force earlier and it aims to build India as a globalhub for providing the
Cyber Security solutions, prepare the Cyber Security plan and develop as killed work forceof Cyber Security
experts. In India the task force aims to growth Cyber Security industry in India from the 1%market share to10%
by 2025. At present 64,000 cyber security job saran offer in different companies. Thisprogram will help me in my
career advancement and I will get chance to work in leading MNC’s like DeloitteIndia, IBM, Cyber ops Infosys
LLP, KPMG India, Net- Square Solutions Pvt. Ltd. At initial level I will work as CyberSecurity Analyst, Security
Software Developer, Data Security Analyst during this period I will get salary aroundINR 5,00,000-INR 6,00,000
per annum in my city and tend to pay more in metropolitan cities like Delhi, Mumbai,Pune, Bangalore, Chennai
etc. After an experience of 3-5 years I can apply for positions such as Cryptanalyst,Cloud Security Architect,
Cyber Intelligence Specialist, IT Security Consultant and many more for this I can getsalary of around INR
9,00,000- INR 11,00,000 per annum. So in this way, the amount which I am going to investto study in Australia
will give better remuneration benefits and I will be able tore cover the amount within 6-7years which I have
invested during my studies. I will use the medium of job portals such as
