Also IT is a big big ecosystem. You have to decide what you want to learn first. If you are good at maths and logics , I would get into CORE programming such as JAVA / Python / C

If you are a ratanthe or artistic you can get into Front end stuff. Front end stuff nowdays is big with OOP frameworks like node/angular/react.
If you are organised you can get into Database and infrastructure.
If you like to break shit up , get into info sec / networking.

All else fails ...learn some QTP / qualiycenter and get on the QA/BA bandwagon.

Regardless of what you chose, start getting familiar with Microsoft products. Like outlook / word / PP/skype etc. I know so many newbs coming from consultancies who have no idea how to change their Outlook signature or write a decent email. Email is your god and it will take you places, know how to word your email correctly. Do not be too formal in emails ...it shows you are a newb or trying to be an Englishmen. Also get familiar with virtual meetings and conference calls ...people new to conference calls are annoying as shit, trying to talk over people and nervous.

And the most important thing, be nice to people but never take any shit. Stay away from desi politics ...if you use consultancy there will be full of it.
