Overview
- The Indian Youth Congress staged the event at Talkatora Stadium in New Delhi on Friday, June 19, 2026, drawing thousands of applicants and long queues at the venue.
- Organisers say online registrations were closed five days before the fair after nearly 35,000 people signed up to attend.
- Roughly 150 private companies set up recruitment stalls and IYC reported issuing about 7,000 offer letters on the spot while other candidates were shortlisted for later rounds.
- IYC has opened a dedicated helpline for one month to help shortlisted applicants with follow-up and organisers acknowledge that final hires will depend on subsequent rounds and company verification.
- IYC leaders presented the fair as a 'silent protest' against the central government's job record, senior Congress figures attended, and the event could increase pressure on policymakers while highlighting youth unemployment and exam integrity concerns.
