The site ranked Tier II cities on the basis of number of jobs on the site from a particular city and top industries providing jobs in these cities.

Says Hitesh Oberoi, COO, Naukri.com: “With the Old Economy making a comeback, sectors like power, machinery and oil & gas are bouncing back. Hence, these cities are seeing a spurt in job opportunities.”

Vadodara has emerged on top of this list on the back of an increasing number of jobs in the pharmaceuticals, construction and oil & gas sectors.

Faridabad, too, scores highly thanks to its position as a stronghold of the auto ancillary and components industry.

For Jaipur, insurance, telecom and banking are the main sectors generating jobs.
