This study examines trends in educated job seekers from 2015–16 to 2021–22, analyzing their educational qualifications, social categories, genders, and age groups despite their high literacy rate of over 87%. The data reveals a steady increase in job-seeking participation, highest in 2018-19 with 1188 persons and 645 persons in 2021-22. Graduate degree holders consistently represent the largest group of job seekers, while postgraduate and PhD candidates have low but gradually increasing participation. Category-wise, Scheduled Tribes (ST) show the highest growth in job-seeking participation, while General and OBC candidates remain dominant. Gender-wise, male participation leads, but female involvement has grown steadily. The 18-24 and 25-34 age groups form the majority of job seekers, reflecting the employment challenges faced by Tripura’s youth.
