Varanasi job fair with 32 firms starts Nov 13
The Story in Brief
Varanasi will host a two-day mega employment fair on Nov 13 and 14 under the Uttar Pradesh Employment Mission. Around 32 companies including Axis Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Blinkit, Flipkart and Motherson are expected to participate. Candidates who have passed high school, intermediate, graduation, postgraduation, diploma or ITI courses are eligible. Salary offers are expected between ₹12,000 and ₹35,000 per month.
The first fair will be held Nov 13 at Janata Inter College, Khochwan, Mirzamurad, and the second on Nov 14 at Adarsh Rashtriya Vidyalaya Inter College, Cholapur. Interested candidates must reach the venue by 10 am with their biodata. The previous round of mega job fairs on Nov 3 and 5 saw 92 companies participate, 6,860 candidates attend, and 2,792 youths receive job offers, with the highest annual package at ₹4.2 lakh. Employment was also provided to 290 women.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The two-day fair targets Varanasi's high school, graduate and ITI pass-outs with salaries as low as ₹12,000 a month, barely above unskilled wages, while the highest annual package cited from the earlier round (₹4.2 lakh) amounts to ₹35,000 per month, matching the advertised ceiling. The earlier fairs placed only 2,792 of 6,860 attendees, meaning 59% went home empty-handed, with women accounting for just 290 of those offers. The November round repeats the same format and 10 AM deadline, so unless companies widen eligibility or raise offers, the placement rate is unlikely to improve materially. Candidates should know that the fairs run on consecutive days at different locations and that biometric documentation is mandatory.
