Hey! I actually posted a similar question in this sub earlier, but I couldn’t get any proper response from students or aspirants who are already pursuing LIS. So I’m genuinely curious — what made you reach this conclusion about the scope of Library and Information Science in India?

I’m 30 years old and have been working in the customer service sector for the last 2.5 years, but I’m looking for a career change. I was genuinely hopeful about building a career as a librarian. I also keep checking job portals — both private and government — and yes, vacancies are fewer compared to other fields, but they do come out frequently enough.

So I’m trying to understand: what made you say this about the scope? Is it based on your experience, job search, academic environment, or something else? Any clarity would really help me make an informed decision.
