The purpose of this article is to analyze the impact of University education on the future careers of IT students in city of Cluj-Napoca, Romania. In order to achieve this, a survey was conducted among the University students in the IT field in Cluj-Napoca. The surveys contents four sections: Demographic items, Education and interests, University education and Work experience. It aims to outline the current strong points of the educational process as well as to identify existing issues and suggest potential improvements. In this article, it is presented the questionnaire for students and the interpretation of the respondents’ data. We also make a comparative analysis between the students and graduates answers from an previous article.  \nKey words: University Education, IT University students, Cluj-Napoca, Romania  \n1. Introduction  \nAccording to the article [5] \"Romania becoming Europe's fastest-growing outsourcing hub\" in Computer Business Review “Romania has become a highly attractive sourcing destination for companies looking for business process outsourcing, offshore software engineering and contract manufacturing services, according to market reports “. Article [6] “Romania among top 10 outsourcing locations globally” confirm in 2013 “Investor attention regarded Romania a perfect match for information technology outsourcing activities, software development and research programs, knowledge process outsourcing and business process outsourcing operations, as well as for shared service center capacity. The country in becoming leader in IT outsourcing, particularly for chip design, embedded software and information security.” In Romania the city of Cluj-Napoca is considered a major IT hub in Romania, and the leading exporter of IT services. According to Bureau of Labour Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor [3] “Employment of software developers is projected to grow 30 percent from 2010 to 2020, much faster than the average for all occupations. Employment of applications developers is projected to grow 28 percent, and employment of systems developers is projected to grow 32 percent.” Consequently, the demand for skilled developers is currently at an historic high despite the ongoing hiring during the last decade. The European Union is deeply concerned with how education responds to the needs of society. The Eurydice report: Key Data on Education 2012 [1] establish that “Tertiary education graduates integrate into the job market two times more quickly than people with lower qualifications. On average, it takes 5 months for tertiary education graduates to enter the job market, as opposed to 9.8 months for people with lower attainment levels.” According to Eurostat [2] “there are significant structural differences among European countries in young people's participation in the labour market.” In this statistic [2], Romania was included in the first group of countries “in which very few students are employed or unemployed”.  \nUnder these circumstances, improving the efficiency of University education is paramount. In article [4] we analyzed the transition from the University education to the labour market for the IT specialists in the city of Cluj-Napoca, Romania. In order to achieve this, a survey was conducted among the IT  \ngraduates in Cluj-Napoca city. The surveys contents four sections: Demographic items, Education and interests, University education and Work experience.
