Abstract:
The surfacing of Information Technology sector in mid-1990s has disclosed a potential employment opportunity for women in this organized sector pleasantly be suitable their job environment and offering, in principle, least gender discrimination. This paper attempts to analyze the issues of opportunities and constraints the women employees face in the ICT sector in India. IT sector, through its initial job employment, contributes significantly to women empowerment. Its employment potentiality provides inspiration to female students to take up technical and professional courses with an eye to the ICT sector. I have explored gender neutrality at the initial job level in ICT sector with the help of unstructured questionnaire. I have used X2 test for the Neutrality. The theoretical aspect of individualization in the workplace is flagrant but at the societal level, patriarchal strategies dominate on the Indian mind. The reflection of this paper is arrived at, on the basis of, the inputs drawn from different literatures of ICT sector such as NASSCOM.

Keywords:Key Words: Gender, Neutrality, Initial Job, Software Sector and ICT.
