CTPL x VGU Job Fair 2025 Sets New Benchmark in Multidisciplinary Hiring at Jaipur

The CTPL x VGU Job Fair 2025, held on June 8, 2025, at the dynamic Vivekananda Global University (VGU), Jaipur, is one of the biggest employment events in India this year. The job fair was organised by CTPL in conjunction with VGU Jaipur, and supported by NextGen Academy, and involved over 5,000 students. Jaipur’s most multidisciplinary job fair to-date included more than 130 companies from a variety of sectors.

This was not a placement drive; CTPL's vision for this job fair has changed the way freshers will be recruited in India for the rest of their careers. Freshers leaving with letters of offer, and smiles on their faces, were offered much more than a mere job, it was a renewed sense of purpose; An event which celebrated ambition, opportunity, and real-world skills, where your branch didn't matter, but your skills did!

A CTPL-Backed Job Fair That Delivered More Than Jobs

CTPL (Career Transformation & Placement League), as a respected recruitment and placement partner for the event, had an instrumental role in facilitating this large scale job fair, sponsored by VGU. The job fair was a space for CTPL job opportunities for freshers and a commitment to innovating the academia-industry gap to reshape how the industry can employ students moving forward. This is how job fairs run by CTPL with a leading university, like VGU, can enable more than transactional hiring, they can create space for career-defining traditions.

CTPL Placement Event with Academic Partners Like VGU: A Vision

According to the representatives from CTPL, the CTPL x VGU Job Fair 2025 was a series of deliberate steps to break away from the norm of placement culture and to establish a career creation ecosystem for the future. According to the CTPL spokespersons, our partnership with VGU and the NextGen Academy is just a small part of a national effort to establish fresher readiness and skill-based hiring as institutionalised."

This agrees with the vision of VGU of a forward-thinking academic system that, in the past few years, has been going through restructuring to answer the demands that 21st-century employment places. "The future of employment is academic-industry linkage," remarked VGU's Vice Chancellor, "and our curriculum is co-designed with industry leaders, so our students will always be better future-ready."

Curriculum Transformation: Skills Over Syllabi

As VGU geared up for the job fair, it made sweeping changes to its pedagogy and student readiness. Building on industry feedback through CTPL, the university announced a skill-centric curriculum around:

• Data Analytics

• Cloud Computing

• Digital Marketing

• Customer Engagement

• Project-Based Learning

The industry-informed overhaul was an attempt to guarantee that students did not just receive instruction but were actually trained through resume workshops, mock interviews, internships, and mentorship pedagogy from corporate leaders.

Faculty development was another key area. Educators were shadowed and mentored by corporate leadership team members in departments across the university to ensure that the teaching within the classrooms reflected what was happening in the industry currently.

Top Recruiters, Real Outcomes

CTPL job fair at VGU attracted several of India's leading companies like Capgemini, Tech Mahindra, HDFC Bank, Paytm, Reliance, and Infosys, reinforcing the confidence they have in the talent pool from VGU and the professionalism of CTPL.

Recruiters were impressed not only with candidates' technical ability but with their soft skills, adaptability to problem-solving, and communication capabilities. "We found candidates for hire from non-traditional branches who were more prepared than a lot of students from regular ones due to the training simulations from the event," said one senior HR manager from a participating MNC.

Equity and Inclusion: Opportunities for All

As part of the commitment to inclusive education, VGU and CTPL ensured that the event reached students from rural and underserved communities as well. By promoting opportunities for freshers at CTPL without any restrictions on college or background, the job fair was a social equaliser in so many ways.

From tier-3 city students landing their first break in tech to students from arts backgrounds now working in digital marketing roles, the VGU job fair backed by CTPL created real impact stories. These real impact stories go much further than employment statistics!.

Strategic Partnerships & MoUs: Beyond the Day of the Fair

The MOU will be executed at the CTPL x VGU Job Fair 2025, indicating a significant partnership with the university and companies that participated in the job fair. This agreement will prioritize important collaborative elements including co-design of curriculum, internship opportunities year-round, live industry projects, guest lectures with experienced agents in specific industries, and development of joint research and innovation labs. It is important that these collaborative elements are sustained and eventually merged into the academic university approach and mindset so that career readiness is created within the bigger picture of the curriculum and they do not remain as an individual isolated attempt.

National Impact: Jaipur Rising as a Talent Hub

The fair's success provides a model of scalable, skills-based recruitment that can be taken up by other Indian universities. VGU and CTPL's host event has placed Jaipur on the national map as the up-and-coming centre of employability, industry-academia integration and career redesign.

“A job fair should be evaluated not in terms of booths, but of the transformation to the student journey,” as noted by a CTPL spokesperson. “This event is powerful evidence that future-ready education is possible when institutions and recruiters come together purposefully.”

What’s Next for CTPL and VGU?

Following the triumphant success of this inaugural event, both organisations are keen to amplify their level of partnership with even more pan-India job fairs, and micro-skill bootcamps, along with career accelerators (CTPL certified) at universities in all states.

Meanwhile, future editions will focus even more on AI readiness, fintech, jobs in sustainability, and jobs in the creator economy - to keep aligned with emerging trends and global demands.

A Movement, Not Just a Fair

The CTPL x VGU Job Fair 2025 was not just another placement drive — it was an inflection point in how fresher recruitment is done in India. Hosted at Vivekananda Global University (VGU), Jaipur -- and evidently 'powered' by CTPL -- the Job Fair connected students, recruiters and educators in a collective charge to reshape employability through skills and capability and not simply degrees.

This was not about simply handing out offer letters to students. It was a movement to change obsolete hiring practices around traditional college hiring, break inevitable silos and unlock opportunity for talent, regardless of their context, domain and talent brand (or lack thereof). Through structured training, industry-specific curriculum, and a live-hiring format, the Job Fair provided thousands of students evidence of sincere potential for direction on their career journeys.

The Job Fair validated that opportunity is a condition of preparation and fulfilment of promise, irrespective of branch, geography, or tier of college. CTPL and VGU came together to create an open stage where skills, innovation and attitude took precedence.

For the first time, the Job Fair created a potential model that addressed long-term thoughts around careers, as opposed to a single-day placement. You could say this is a bold lesson for the future of campus hiring on behalf of the employers and students in India. This was in every respect a movement - and we have only just begun.
