Lately, the National Statistical Office (NSO) conducted a monthly labour force survey, which reported that India’s unemployment percentage is 5.1 per cent, with an increase to 6.5 per cent in urban regions. Due to the job scarcity, there is high competition in the job market, with intense competition for any job opening.
The campaign quickly changed into a satirical commentary
Due to its relatability factor to the rising unemployment rate in the country, it’s getting widespread. The campaign quickly changed into a satirical commentary on India’s employment crisis in the form of memes, reels, and parody posts. The memes flooded social media platforms like Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), WhatsApp, Facebook, and Telegram, catching the attention of netizens across the country.

Users took to social media and joked about the recruitment process, suggesting it to be fiercely competitive. Some trolls even related it to some of India’s toughest exams, such as IIT-JEE, UPSC, and NEET.
