New Delhi, October 24, 2024: Naukri Campus, one of the leading career platforms for college students in India by Naukri.com, recently launched the country’s biggest skill-based contest, Naukri Campus Young Turks (NCYT), to empower undergraduate students across India to showcase their talents and gain recognition. With over 5 lakh enrolments, NCYT offers an unparalleled opportunity for students to demonstrate their skills beyond academic achievements, with a total prize pool of ₹20 lakhs and the chance to connect with top employers—all with no registration fees.
NCYT was created to bridge gaps in the traditional education system by offering students, including those from Tier 2 and Tier 3 colleges, the platform to compete on equal footing. Recognizing that conventional academic assessments often fail to fully reflect a student’s potential, the contest emphasizes practical skill application across seven diverse tracks: Coding, Engineering, Data & AI, Marketing & Strategy, Sales & Operations, Pharma, and Accounting & Finance.
With backing from 50+ leading brands across sectors, including PepsiCo, Capgemini, Volvo, and PhonePe, NCYT extends unique exposure to some of the top companies in the country. These partnerships not only bolster the credibility of the competition but also connect participants with industry leaders who are actively seeking to identify and nurture emerging talent. The wide range of industry support ensures that the skill tracks are tailored to meet real-world demands, making the contest a launchpad for promising careers.
The ongoing contest follows a two-round format – Round 1, held on October 4-5, featured a 60-minute aptitude test designed to evaluate participants’ logical reasoning, numerical ability, and verbal skills. The top 32,500 candidates have advanced to Round 2, scheduled for October 19-20, where they will undergo a skill-based evaluation in their chosen track(s). Students have the option to participate in multiple tracks, increasing their chances of winning and showcasing their versatility. Winners will be announced by October 25.
Apart from cash rewards, the competition offers merit certificates for top performers and achievement certificates for winners, which will be validated by partner brands. These credentials not only enhance resumes but also add significant value in terms of career prospects, opening doors to future job opportunities. Furthermore, all participants will receive a certificate of participation, ensuring that every student who joins the contest gains recognition.
Students are encouraged to seize this opportunity and make the most of NCYT’s offerings. The competition is not only a chance to win substantial rewards but also a step toward building a brighter career path.
