Hello Designers,

I recently completed my masters in design from Srishti Manipal. I have been applying for jobs as a UI/UX designer. Although I want to be a research, I find not many companies asking for researchers just out from college. Any idea about how the industry thinks here?
Also, at this point should I narrow down on a specific industry or get into anywhere?

Yes, Research is a specialist role, if you think you are good and looking at a career in the same, then you should definitely go for it. Also i would recommend that you should adopt T shaped Learning. Keeping research as your core, you should also be able to understand at level 3 out of level 5 in other departments of UX.
Thanks,
Nikhil
