Need advice from experts or HR professionals on the future of the IT job market.

So I am a final-year electronics engineering student, and I would like to get advice from experts or HR professionals on the future of the IT job market. I am unsure whether to choose VLSI or software development as my career. Right now, not many companies are hiring, and even CS students are struggling to get placements. I have knowledge of Java, C, Python, and data structures, and I have also studied VLSI in my semester. I have six months to study and prepare for a decent job in Bangalore. So, considering the future job market, should I choose software development or VLSI?
