No. Selection is through document verification and a Personal Interview only — no written examination.

Q2. Is this a permanent government job?

No. It's a purely temporary, contractual, project-linked position — co-terminus with the project. You cannot claim a regular appointment at IARI/ICAR based on this role, and continuation depends on a 6-monthly performance review.

Q3. I have a cousin working at ICAR — what do I do?

You must declare this in writing (Annexure-II, Option B) so it reaches the AO, DSST by 25.08.2026 — before the interview. If you only disclose it on the interview day and it's found true, you won't be permitted to appear.

Q5. What if I don't have the essential qualification but I'm keen on the desirable criteria?
