Lloyd’s Niyukti 2023, The Job Fest Season 7
Niyukti is an apt name for an event which brings hundreds of job aspirants and scores of recruiting companies together under one roof and gives them an opportunity to seek out the best match for each other, from each other. In the six years since its inception, Niyukti, the Annual Job Fest of the Lloyd Group of Institutions, Greater Noida, has hosted more than 6000 students and 250 recruiters (some of them choosing to come again and again every year!) on its campus in the month of April every year. Most of the students have found their first job in the Lloyd’s Job Fest-Niyukti and started the journey of their career.
The Lloyd Group of Institutions, Greater Noida was established in 2004 and offers courses ranging from Diploma, Degree, to Post graduation in Pharmacy, Management, Data Analytics, Education, Engineering and Law. All the courses are duly approved by their respective regulatory agencies and over the years have gained prestige for their quality and the holistic learning experience gained by students on the campus. A testimony to the quality of education offered is that the B. Pharm. Program of the Institute has been approved for accreditation by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA), which ensures implementation of international quality standards and relevance of education.
Objective:
The Objective of “Niyukti”- The Lloyd Job Fest is as follows:
- Bridge gap between the Employer & the Talent
- Increase in Employment Opportunities
- Bring best & economical talent from Management & Pharmaceutical Sector under one roof
The Lloyd Job Fest started in 2016 out of a discussion between the Group Chairman, Shri Manohar Thairani, the then Drug Controller General (India), Dr. G N Singh, Sh. S L Nasa (Registrar, Delhi Pharmacy Council and President, Indian Hospital Pharmacists’ Association) and the personality bringing them all together, Lloyd Group Director, Prof. (Dr.) Vandana Arora Sethi. The thread of the discussion was placements and the struggle made by passing out graduates in finding suitable jobs and the growing disinterest of big companies in visiting college campuses for their recruitments. They identified that it is not just a problem for Lloyd but for all the students in almost every college as the youth of the nation is in dire need of jobs while at the same time companies lament the unavailability of a large employable pool of talent. The dream “Sab Ko Shiksha, Sab Ko Rozgaar” of our Honorable Prime Minister could be realized only if some socially responsible organizations took it upon themselves for this noble cause. Dr. G N Singh and Sh. Nasa pledged their full and unconditional support if the Lloyd Group was ready to make the efforts call multiple companies and provide them a large pool of candidates by inviting students from other colleges.
With no other resources and no financial aid from any external agency, the Lloyd Group took it upon itself to organize and event where not just its own students but students from other colleges, so called competitors, as well. The single most defining feature of Niyukti is that no student is charged a single penny to participate and meet several recruiters in one single day. All they have to do is simply register online for free and come to the Lloyd Campus on the day of the event.
The event’s sole purpose is to “Connect the right candidate with the right company for a bright career” and provide job opportunities for the soon-to-be-graduates as well as struggling-experienced students. Lloyd-Job-Fest is sumptuously publicized, covering a huge geographical arch and today attracts students from not just Uttar Pradesh and Delhi-NCR but Rajasthan, Orissa, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh and Punjab.
This year the Lloyd Group organized Niyukti-2023, their 7th Mega Job Fest on Saturday, 15th April’23.
