Recruitment-specific overview from the published record.
CSIR–Human Resource Development Group (HRDG), Pusa, New Delhi, has issued Advertisement HRDG/JIGYASA/01/2026 dated 11 November 2026 to engage five project personnel for “CSIR Jigyasa: Bridging Scientists and School Students for R&D Outreach and Innovation” (HCP002601). This is a walk-in interview, not an online application or a permanent CSIR Scientist recruitment. Candidates must attend the CSIR-HRDG reception desk on Monday, 30 November 2026 between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM. The notice unequivocally says that candidates arriving after 11:00 AM will not be entertained. Bring the completed application form provided in the original notice, documents, a passport-sized photograph and original certificates for checking.
The positions belong to a science-education and public-outreach project coordinating CSIR laboratories nationwide. CSIR Jigyasa organizes laboratory visits, practical exposure for school students and teachers, interaction with scientists and digitally accessible science education through the Jigyasa Virtual Lab. Posting is at CSIR-HRDG, CSIR Complex, Library Avenue, Pusa, New Delhi 110012, even though project activities span CSIR laboratories throughout India. These vacancies are for scientific programme delivery, coordination, research and data analysis, newsletters and digital outreach—not an announced written-examination recruitment.
| Official code | Position | Vacancies | Monthly remuneration before HRA | Maximum age on 30 November |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| JP001 | Project Scientist-II | 1 | ₹67,000 | 40 years |
| JP002 | Project Scientist-I | 1 | ₹56,000 | 35 years |
| JP003 | Principal Project Associate | 1 | ₹49,000 | 40 years |

The advertisement does not publish a post-wise UR/OBC/SC/ST/EWS quota roster. Do not infer category-specific seats from the five total positions. Both Project Scientist posts carry a clause for an increment of 5% for every two years of experience in the same project; this is not described as an immediate increase at joining. HRA is admissible under applicable rules, with no fixed percentage printed. ₹67,000 and ₹42,000 are comparable advertised monthly rates before HRA, not guaranteed in-hand pay or permanent Seventh CPC basic salaries.

One Project Scientist-II vacancy is notified with ₹67,000 per month plus HRA and a maximum age of 40 years. The essential-qualification table gives a Doctoral Degree in Science OR a Master’s/Integrated Master’s in Engineering or Technology from a recognized university or equivalent, and additionally prints five years of relevant R&D experience in industrial or academic institutions, science-and-technology organisations or scientific activities and services. The printed layout does not identify a separate reduced experience threshold for doctoral applicants. Candidates relying on a Ph.D. should make sure the five-year condition has been understood as CSIR-HRDG applies it; no experience waiver is stated in the table.
The advertised work is to help coordinate activities from the HRDG headquarters, supporting end-to-end project planning, execution and programme management. Jigyasa’s educational outreach is coordinated with many CSIR laboratories, so the role is concerned with research outreach operations and activity delivery rather than an independent laboratory research examination. Desirable experience across the recruitment includes project management, organising science events for students, R&D and innovation policy, data analysis, progress reporting and science communication. The application must identify JP001 correctly so that HRDG can assess the appropriate qualifications and age ceiling.
The one Project Scientist-I position pays ₹56,000 plus admissible HRA per month and has a 35-year maximum age on the walk-in date. The notice specifies Doctoral Degree in Science OR Master’s/Integrated Master’s in Engineering or Technology and prints four years of relevant R&D experience in the same qualification cell. The notice does not provide a doctoral-route-specific alternative experience limit; applicants should not assume that the younger Scientist-I grade automatically permits fresh postgraduate candidates without experience.
The stated responsibilities centre on student-focused competitions, outreach events, coordination of Jigyasa Virtual Lab activities with laboratories and participation in science policy matters. The desirable-experience list also includes programming skills, science communication, event management and reports, but none is announced as a separate examination paper or numeric qualifying score. JP002 differs from JP001 in both reported remuneration (₹56,000 rather than ₹67,000) and maximum age (35 rather than 40); candidates must select the appropriate code rather than treating these two posts as interchangeable.
This single ₹49,000-plus-HRA position has one of the most important qualification distinctions in the notice. Pathway A accepts a Master’s/Integrated Master’s in Natural, Agricultural or Pharmaceutical Sciences, MVSc/Animal Sciences, or a Bachelor’s in Engineering/Technology/Medicine from a recognized institution, together with six years’ experience in research and development/scientific activities. Pathway B accepts a Master’s/Integrated Master’s in Engineering or Technology, or a completed doctoral degree in Science, Engineering, Technology or Pharma, or MD/MS, and specifies three years’ relevant experience. The two separate experience durations come from different published pathways: imposing six years on all applicants would be misleading.
📊 Principal Project Associate required R&D experience by qualification pathway
| Official qualification pathway | Years of experience |
|---|---|
| A — Natural/Agri/Pharma PG or Engg/Med bachelor | 6 |
| B — Engineering PG / specified PhD / MD / MS | 3 |
The institute states that the Principal Project Associate will prepare progress reports, coordinate the Jigyasa Newsletter, analyse data and impacts and support science communication and policy-related work. This is distinct from the Virtual Lab operations-oriented JP004. The ceiling is 40 years as of 30 November 2026. A course still awaiting its final result is not accepted as a completed essential degree, and submitted-but-not-awarded Ph.D. candidates are explicitly excluded when a completed doctorate is required.
There are two positions at ₹42,000 per month plus HRA, maximum age 40 years. Pathway A sets out a Master’s/Integrated Master’s in Natural, Agricultural or Pharmaceutical Sciences, MVSc/Animal Sciences, or Bachelor’s Engineering/Technology/Medicine degree, with three years of relevant R&D experience. A second official alternative lists a Master’s/Integrated Master’s in Engineering or Technology, or a completed doctorate in Science/Pharma, or MD/MS. The printed table does not append a separate quantified experience period after that second alternative; candidates relying on this distinction should obtain clarification from the recruitment authority rather than treating every route as subject to the same three-year figure.
The work profile includes management of the Jigyasa Virtual Lab’s IT infrastructure, online publicity of Jigyasa activities, visual material such as newsletters, banners and posters, data analysis and coordination with HRDG. Computer and graphic-design experience is desirable but no particular programming certification, score, portfolio size or written computer examination is prescribed as mandatory in the notice.
When the applicable qualification route requires experience, only work acquired after completing the minimum essential educational qualification is counted. Dissertation and thesis work performed during an academic course is not accepted as employment experience. Time spent acquiring a higher qualification does not itself add to employment experience over the essential minimum qualification. If the qualification result is pending, or the applicant has merely submitted a Ph.D. thesis in a route requiring the awarded doctorate, the candidate does not satisfy the notice. The essential degree must have been awarded, or at least supported by a provisional certificate proving a declared result, before the walk-in.
The advertisement calculates maximum age on the interview date, 30 November 2026. It allows five years of upper-age relaxation for SC, ST, PwD and women candidates, and three years for OBC candidates. These are the official stated figures; the notice does not furnish a separate EWS relaxation or detailed combination/cumulative rule. Candidates claiming the permitted categories must bring a valid supporting certificate. The age-reckoning date is not the issue date, and the age for JP002 is not 40 years.
The notification says that selection will be based on academic records and/or an interview. The recruitment specifically instructs applicants to appear in person at the Pusa reception on 30 November. No written test date, question paper, 100-mark syllabus, interview marks split, negative marking or qualifying score is published. The committee may consider academic history and an interview; applicants should discuss their actual research/project experience, relevant academic subject, science outreach, digital communication or data analysis only to the extent that they appear in their submitted records. These are role contexts, not an officially issued subject-wise examination syllabus.
Reporting window: 9:00–11:00 AM on 30 November 2026. Venue: CSIR HRDG, CSIR Complex, Library Avenue, Pusa, New Delhi 110012. Candidates arriving after 11:00 AM will not be entertained. The notice also warns that interviews may continue into the following day in case of a very large number of applicants; this possibility is not an announced second walk-in registration date. No travel allowance is payable for attendance.
The prescribed application is supplied in pages 7–11 of the same 11-page notification PDF. Download the complete PDF and fill the appropriate position name and JP001/JP002/JP003/JP004 code. The form asks for personal particulars, educational qualifications beginning from Class 10, academic scores, university and passing year, relevant employment history, experience in CSIR laboratories, publications, science-education content, digital designs, software proficiency and other supporting information. Attach a recent passport-sized colour photograph in the indicated box and sign as instructed.
Take the fully completed form, original certificates and one set of self-attested photocopies proving identity/age, educational qualifications, experience and category where applicable. Bring your detailed biodata. The application additionally asks candidates to bring up to ten of their best publications or works in hard copy and/or audio-video content on a pen drive, if they have such material. Originals are checked and returned the same day. The employer may reject incomplete applications. No online submission link, prior email deadline or application fee amount is published in this notice; the process is an in-person walk-in.
Appointments are temporary and co-terminus with Project HCP002601, initially envisaged up to 31 March 2027. Any extension beyond that date is subject to review of the staff member’s performance and programme needs, and the project itself is slated at most through 31 March 2031. The official terms also impose a six-year maximum on aggregate contract R&D project tenure for persons who have served under CSIR-HRDG/other CSIR laboratories or institutes. An applicant should not interpret 31 March 2031 as a guaranteed appointment term.
Either party may end the engagement under the stated one-month notice conditions. No claim to a permanent CSIR appointment arises from being selected. Personnel must arrange their own accommodation; HRA, where applicable, is governed by the sponsor’s rules. The number of vacancies may increase or decrease. CSIR-HRDG may withdraw/cancel engagement on discovery of discrepancies, and canvassing or undue influence leads to disqualification. The English text controls if the translated version differs.
