Eligibility Criteria
| Post | Qualification and Age |
|---|---|
| SRF (1 post) | Master’s degree with 60% marks in Genetics and Plant Breeding, Agronomy, Soil Science, Nematology or Plant Pathology. Age 21 to 45 years. |
| YP-II (2 posts) | M.Sc. in Genetics and Plant Breeding, or a graduate degree in a relevant agricultural science. Experience with mustard crop gets preference. Age 21 to 45 years. |
| YP-I (13 posts) | Graduate or diploma holder in Agriculture Sciences. Age 21 to 45 years. Check your age eligibility → |
| Age Counted As On | The last date of submission of application, 20.11.2026 |
| Post | Age Relaxation |
|---|---|
| SRF | 3 years on the upper limit for SC, BC and similar categories |
| YP-I | 3 years on the upper limit for SC, BC and similar categories |
| YP-II | As per university rules (the notice gives no number) |
In short: the basic age limit is 45. For SRF and YP-I, an SC or BC candidate aged 47 can still apply, because 3 extra years take the limit to 48, while a General candidate aged 47 cannot. The notices say “SC/BC etc.” without naming the other categories, so ask the department if you belong to a different category.
Who Should Apply
- You want a project job, not a regular government post. The jobs run only up to 31.03.2027, though the notices say they are likely to continue, and there is no CPF or GPF (provident fund) or other regular-employee benefit.
- You hold the right degree for one post: a diploma or graduate degree in agriculture fits YP-I, an M.Sc. or agriculture graduate fits YP-II, and a Master’s with 60% fits SRF.
- You can be in Hisar on 21.11.2026. SRF and YP-I interviews both start at 9:30 AM, and YP-II is at 2:30 PM.
- You can work full time. YP-II staff may not do any other work or hold another job, paid or unpaid.
- If you are a PhD student applying for YP-II, you must bring a No Objection Certificate (NOC, a written permission) from the Dean of Post Graduate Studies.
Selection Process
| Stage | Details |
|---|---|
| 1. Send Application | Reach the department office by 20.11.2026. Late applications are not accepted for any reason. |
| 2. Interview | 21.11.2026 at the office of the Director of Research, CCS HAU, Hisar. No call letter is sent. Bring original certificates and certified copies. |
| 3. Joining | Selected candidates must give a medical fitness certificate from the university’s CMO (Chief Medical Officer), sign an agreement on Rs 15 non-judicial stamp paper, and join within 10 days (SRF and YP-I) or 15 days (YP-II) of the appointment order. |
In short: there is no written test in any of the three notices. You send the form first, then everything depends on the interview. If you do not join on time, the job can go to another candidate.
Salary and Benefits
| Component | Detail |
|---|---|
| SRF Pay | Rs 37,000 a month plus HRA (House Rent Allowance), fixed |
| YP-II Pay | Rs 42,000 a month, fixed |
| YP-I Pay | Rs 30,000 a month, fixed and consolidated (all allowances included) |
| Job Period | Up to 31.03.2027, likely to continue. YP posts can run at most 3 years or as long as the project, whichever is earlier. |
| Travel Allowance | YP staff sent on tour get conveyance and DA at the Grade-IV employee rate. No TA/DA for attending the interview. |
| Other Terms | Not a regular employee. No CPF or GPF. The job can end early if the funding agency stops releasing funds. |
In plain terms, you get a fixed monthly amount and nothing like a regular government package. Think of it as a one-year contract (YP posts start with 1 year) that can be extended each year after review.
How to Apply
- Pick the post that matches your degree and age.
- Fill the application form. The SRF notice says plain paper, while the YP notices ask for the Annexure A form. Annexure A is headed for SRF, YP-II and YP-I, so it works for all three.
- Stick an attested passport-size photograph on the form. Add your education details, NET result (if any), computer knowledge, experience, publications and a signed declaration.
- Take or send the form to the office of the Professor and Head, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, CCS HAU, Hisar. It must be received by 20.11.2026 (10:00 AM for SRF and YP-I).
- Go to the interview on 21.11.2026 with original certificates and certified copies.
Note: There is no online application. The notices do not mention any application fee, and they do not say whether the form can be sent by post or must be handed in.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not wait for a call letter. The notices say no separate letter will be issued for the interview.
- Do not post the form late. It must be received in the office by 20.11.2026, and nothing is accepted after that.
- Do not forget the originals. Original certificates are checked at the interview, and certified copies are kept by the university.
- Do not plan on travel money for the interview. No TA/DA is paid for attending it.
- Do not apply for SRF with less than 60% in your Master’s.
- Do not leave the declaration unsigned. The university can cancel your selection later if any detail is found false.
