Meghalaya will organise its inaugural artificial‑intelligence job fair on 17 November, targeting 125 technical vacancies across the state.
The Meghalaya government announced that a dedicated AI job fair will be held on 17 November, marking the state's first large‑scale recruitment drive focused on artificial‑intelligence and related technologies. Organisers expect participation from a range of companies, startups and public‑sector units seeking talent for roles such as data scientists, machine‑learning engineers, AI developers and robotics specialists.
A total of 125 technical positions have been earmarked for the event, covering both entry‑level and mid‑career opportunities. Candidates with backgrounds in computer science, engineering, mathematics or related fields are invited to register online, with the fair providing on‑spot interviews, skill‑assessment tests and networking sessions.
The initiative aims to address the growing demand for AI expertise in the region and to curb out‑migration of skilled graduates. State officials said the fair will also feature workshops on emerging AI trends, government incentives for tech startups and guidance on upskilling pathways.
Industry representatives have welcomed the move, noting that a focused recruitment platform can accelerate the development of a local AI ecosystem. The fair will be hosted at the Meghalaya State Museum grounds in Shillong, with provisions for virtual participation for candidates from other parts of the country.
