CSIR-IIIM Jammu has one opening for an Administrative Officer on a health-research project, and selection is by interview alone. The interview is held online on MS Teams. The pay is Rs. 40,000 a month, and the last date to apply is 13 November 2026.
As per Government of India rules. The notification gives no category-wise table.
When You Must Qualify
You must meet the qualification and other conditions on the interview date. Check that you already have them by the last date.
Current CSIR-IIIM Project Staff
You need a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the office before applying. An NOC is written permission from your present employer.
So the 40-year limit is counted on 13 November 2026, not on the interview date. If you belong to a category that gets age relaxation, the notification only says it follows Government of India rules.
Not sure whether you are within the age limit?
Enter your date of birth and the 13.11.2026 cut-off date, add any category relaxation, and see at once whether you fall inside the 40-year limit.
This is a project job, not a regular government post. It is tied to a research project (No. GAP-3200, HTAIn New Resource Centre, funded by the Department of Health Research) and ends when the project ends.
The engagement runs till 31.03.2027 at first. It can be extended or cut short, and the total stay can never go past six years, counting all CSIR labs.
The work is office-side: records and letters, project papers, help with buying and finance coordination, meetings, and project reports. It suits an MBA or M.Sc. holder who has already worked on R&D projects.
The notification says the post gives no right to a permanent job at CSIR-IIIM or CSIR, so do not apply expecting absorption later.
There is no written exam. If many people apply, a screening committee may tighten the shortlisting rules first, so show your R&D project work clearly in the form.
Selection Process
Stage
Details
1. Screening
Used only if a large number of candidates apply. The Screening Committee may revisit the screening criteria in that case.
2. Interview
Online, through MS Teams. You can speak in English or Hindi before the Selection Committee. Bring the duly filled Annexure-I. No TA/DA (travel and daily allowance) is paid for the interview.
3. Document Check
After selection, original documents are checked: qualification, date of birth, caste and age relaxation certificates. A mismatch cancels the selection.
In short: there is no written test, and the interview is the main stage. The Director can also choose not to fill the post, or change the number of posts at the time of the interview.
