Walk-in date: 30 November 2026. Reception reporting: 9:00 AM–11:00 AM (strict closing; arrivals after 11 AM not entertained). Venue: CSIR HRDG, CSIR Complex, Library Avenue, Pusa, New Delhi 110012. Advertisement: HRDG/JIGYASA/01/2026. Project: HCP002601.
Selection is academic records and/or interview
The vacancy notice specifies assessment of academic records and/or interview. It does not announce a written test, CBT, numerical exam syllabus, negative marking, a 100-mark interview scale or a subject-wise written examination pattern. Applicants must bring their official prescribed form and original documents. If a large number of candidates attend, the employer says interviews may continue to the following day; that is not a newly announced second application date.

Document-check preparation and reporting discipline
The form occupies pages 7–11 of the original notice. Complete it with accurate post code, educational qualifications from matriculation onward, relevant employment dates, project and laboratory experience and any publications, student-facing content, graphic-design work or other relevant material. Affix and sign a recent passport-sized colour photograph.

Up to ten best publications/works or audio-video samples may be brought when applicable. The employer will return original certificates after inspection.
Age concessions: SC, ST, PwD and women, five years; OBC, three years. Age reckoning date 30 November 2026. Qualifications need results declared and at least a provisional certificate; candidates awaiting the result or with only a submitted Ph.D. thesis are ineligible where that credential is essential.
Role-specific topics are work context, not an officially issued syllabus
The listed duties help a candidate explain their verified experience: JP001 handles multi-laboratory project planning and coordination; JP002 addresses student events, outreach, Jigyasa Virtual Lab coordination and science policy; JP003 prepares progress reports, Jigyasa Newsletter, data and impact analysis; JP004 supports Virtual Lab IT infrastructure, digital promotion, posters/newsletters and project data.
