The study, entitled "Specializations required in the labor market" for 2018, that civil engineering came most engineering disciplines in demand, followed by "mechanical" and "petroleum", and emerged a range of emerging disciplines required in the labor market, foremost mechatronic engineering, and then Industrial Engineering, "Marketing" came at the forefront of business disciplines, followed by "Finance", then "Accounting" and "Quality Management", while "Retail", "Tourism Studies" was the least demand, Demand for "general dentistry" is low.
