Yes, you can still get jobs even without a degree, but the type of job will depend on your skills, qualifications, and experience. Many government and private jobs at entry level require only 10th or 12th pass. Fields like data entry, sales, BPO, digital marketing, technical support, hospitality, delivery services, and skilled trades often don’t demand a degree. If you build certifications, vocational training, or technical skills, your chances improve further. Higher-level jobs, however, usually need a degree. So yes, you are eligible for jobs, but the options may be limited compared to graduates.

Hello,
Yes, you can get a job without a degree . Many jobs focus on skills, experience, and training instead of a degree.
For example, fields like IT, digital marketing, designing, sales, data entry, customer support, and technical trades often hire without a degree.
However, some careers like doctor, lawyer, or engineer need a degree as it is mandatory by law. It depends on the type of job you are aiming for.
Hope it helps !
Whether you can be eligible for a job without a degree depends largely on the type of job, industry, and the specific employer’s requirements.
Skilled trades and technical jobs: Many skilled professions like electrician, plumber, mechanic, or technician prioritize vocational skills, certifications, or apprenticeships over formal degrees.
Entry-level or clerical jobs: Some companies hire candidates without degrees for roles such as data entry, customer support, retail, or administrative assistants based on experience and skills.
Creative fields: Jobs in areas such as graphic design, content writing, photography, and digital marketing often focus more on portfolio and skills than academic degrees.
Freelancing and Gig work: Platforms for freelancing (writing, web development, design, digital services) typically require proven experience or a portfolio rather than degrees.
Certain government or private sector jobs: Some positions in government or private companies have minimum qualification criteria of 10th or 12th pass, or specific diploma certifications, not necessarily degrees.
Professional roles like doctors, engineers, lawyers, teachers, and chartered accountants legally require relevant degrees and licenses.
Managerial or higher-level positions in many corporate sectors often require at least a bachelor’s degree.
Certain government jobs, public service exams, and competitive fields have strict degree eligibility.
Pursue diplomas or certificate courses relevant to your field of interest.
Gain experience through internships, apprenticeships, or entry-level roles.
Develop skills with online courses or vocational training.
Build a strong portfolio if you’re in creative or technical fields.
Consider alternative education paths such as open universities or distance learning programs to earn a degree later.
Not having a degree does not completely close doors to employment, but it does limit access to some career paths. Many jobs value practical skills, experience, and certifications equally or more than degrees. It’s important to identify industries and roles where skills and experience are prioritized and seek relevant training or certifications to improve eligibility.
