CSIR-NAL Project Staff Recruitment 2026 - Overview

Position-Wise Vacancy Breakdown (48 Posts)

• Candidates checking how many openings exist per post and specialization can refer to the table below, which consolidates all 48 positions across the four interview dates. The largest single group is Project Associate-I (Aerospace/Aeronautical/Mechanical) with 15 posts on 29 June, followed by Project Assistant-II (Aerospace/Aeronautical/Mechanical) with 11 posts on 24 June.
• CSIR-NAL has clearly stated that positions may vary as per actual project requirements, and a waitlist panel will be formed to fill future vacancies as projects demand.

Eligibility Criteria for Each Post

• Eligibility for CSIR-NAL Project Staff depends primarily on the position level (PA-II, PAT-I, or PAT-II) rather than a single uniform standard, since each grade has its own qualification and experience benchmark. The summary below explains what is required at each level.

Age Limit and Relaxation

• The age limit for all 48 posts is 35 years, calculated as on the date of the respective Walk-in-Interview, not a fixed cut-off date. Age relaxation of 5 years applies to SC/ST/PwBD/Women candidates, and 3 years to OBC candidates, or as per prevailing Government of India instructions; candidates must attach documentary proof of category to claim this relaxation, failing which they will not be permitted to appear for the interview.

Application Fee and Cost to Apply

• Candidates asking about the application fee for this recruitment can note that CSIR-NAL has not prescribed any application fee for Project Staff walk-in interviews. The only cost candidates bear is their own travel and stay, since no TA/DA (Travelling/Dearness Allowance) is paid for attending the interview, regardless of distance travelled or selection outcome.

Selection Process: How CSIR-NAL Shortlists Candidates

• Selection for these posts happens primarily through a walk-in interview, but CSIR-NAL has built in flexibility for high-turnout scenarios. The process below outlines what candidates can expect from registration to final empanelment.
• Registration and Document Verification - Candidates report between 9:00 AM and 9:45 AM on their respective interview date; no registration is allowed after 9:45 AM.
• Screening (if required) - If a large number of candidates appear, the Selection/Screening Committee may shortlist candidates through a written exam or other criteria before the interview.
• Interview - Candidates are assessed based on educational qualification, relevant experience, and specialization fit for the specific project requirement, with preference given to those having desirable skills and teamwork ability.
• Possible Multi-Day Continuation - If the interview cannot be completed on the scheduled day, candidates may be called back the next day, so they should come prepared accordingly.
• Panel Formation - A panel of suitable candidates is created post-interview, valid for a maximum of one year; empanelment does not guarantee automatic engagement, as utilization depends on actual project vacancies.
• Result Declaration - Selected candidates and the waitlist panel will be notified on https://www.nal.res.in.

How to Apply: Walk-In Interview Steps

• Since CSIR-NAL accepts applications only in person, candidates must prepare their documents in advance and report physically on the correct date. Below is the complete process to follow.

• Submit a separate application for each post if applying for more than one position.
• Attend the interview; be prepared to return the next day if the process is not completed on the scheduled date.
• Candidates are explicitly instructed NOT to send applications by post, speed post, or email - only in-person walk-in applications are accepted.

• Candidates comparing pay across posts can note that CSIR-NAL's Project Staff emoluments scale upward with qualification level and specialization, ranging from Rs. 20,000/- to Rs. 35,000/- per month, all plus HRA.
• This engagement is purely temporary and contract-based, co-terminus with the specific project, and does not confer any right to continuation, absorption, or regularization in CSIR. The contract can be terminated by either side with one month's notice or one month's stipend in lieu of notice.

Documents Required at the Interview

• Candidates preparing for their walk-in interview should arrange a complete document set in advance, since missing documents can lead to summary rejection of the application. CSIR-NAL has listed these as mandatory requirements.
