1,269 get job offers on first day of Kashi mega fair
The Story in Brief
A mega job fair in Varanasi organised by the Regional Employment Office began at Jagatpur Inter College on Tuesday, 3 November 2026, with 1,269 candidates receiving job offers on the first day. A total of 45 companies participated, and 3,220 candidates registered and appeared for interviews.
The highest annual salary offered was Rs 4.20 lakh. Participating firms included Dixon, Motherson, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Swiggy, ICICI Bank, Flipkart and Delhivery, among others. Candidates were selected across banking, manufacturing, logistics, textiles and solar energy roles.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The 1,269 offers from 3,220 applicants means nearly 40 per cent of interviewed candidates were hired on day one, a high conversion rate for a single-day fair. The absence of sector-wise breakouts leaves it unclear whether demand was concentrated in any one industry. With 45 companies participating, the fair still has additional days to run, and the final tally of placements will determine whether the event meets the stated goal of connecting every willing job seeker.
