Selection Process
• Selection is through a Walk-in Interview/Test — there is no separate written examination stage unless invoked below. • If the number of candidates turning up for a project is very high, a screening committee may shortlist candidates via a written test or other criteria, and only shortlisted candidates will then be interviewed. • Candidates must bring the filled application form, original certificates, and self-attested photocopies on the day of the walk-in itself — no other mode of application is accepted. • Final selection is at the discretion of the competent authority, CSIR-NML; the decision is final and binding, and no correspondence will be entertained. • Engagement is subject to availability of project funds and is not a regular CSIR appointment.
