India holds exams at... airports.

GD&TĐ - More than 8,000 candidates participated in the recruitment exam for the National Guard at Sambalpur airport runway, Odisha state, India.

This ensures sufficient space and convenience for management.

From early morning, the candidates were present at the examination site, sitting in rows along the runway. Above them, helicopters carrying examiners continuously flew back and forth.

The exam lasted one hour and consisted of two parts: a 20-point essay and a 30-point general knowledge test. The content was considered not overly complex, but the competition was exceptionally fierce.

In 2025, the Odisha State National Guard only needed to recruit nearly 200 personnel, but the number of applicants was 40 times higher. Notably, many applicants possessed high educational qualifications such as bachelor's degrees, and even MBAs and MCAs, indicating that the pressure to find employment is widespread even among skilled workers.

This reality reflects a worrying picture of the Indian labor market, particularly for young people. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), around 18% of Indians under the age of 24 are currently unemployed.

The figures reveal a significant gap between the training system and the needs of the job market. In this context, public recruitment exams continue to be the destination for thousands of young workers, despite increasingly fierce competition.
