Engineering Students Protest Vacant Posts in Pune
Imagine many engineers waiting for jobs in the government.
Since 2019, over 4,600 jobs have been empty.
The students are upset because they've been waiting to take tests for these jobs.
The government said they'd hire people, but they haven't advertised the jobs yet.

They are protesting to ask the government to fill these jobs soon.
