The Division of Environmental Sciences at ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute (ICAR-IARI), New Delhi has announced a fresh walk-in recruitment for 7 temporary project positions under its soil-conditioning research project. The vacancy is divided between 3 Young Professional-I (YP-I) posts and 4 Laboratory cum Field Attendant posts, with the interview scheduled for 14 December 2026 at the Division of Environmental Sciences, New Delhi. Registration at the venue will remain open only from 9:30 AM to 11:00 AM, so candidates planning to attend should organise the prescribed forms and supporting records in advance. Monthly remuneration is ₹30,000 fixed for YP-I and ₹22,000 fixed for Laboratory cum Field Attendant. The basic qualification varies by post: YP-I requires a relevant B.Sc. route with the notified research-experience condition, while the attendant post requires Class 12 pass. Both positions carry a maximum age limit of 45 years, with the category relaxations stated in the official notice. Since this is a walk-in selection rather than an online application, candidates should focus on bringing the correct Annexure-I application, Annexure-II declaration, self-attested copies and original certificates for verification on the interview day.
