Eligibility and Educational Qualification

Qualification is post-specific. At a basic level, SAMEER is recruiting candidates with:

• relevant ITI + NTC + NAC for technical-assistant trades;
• relevant Diploma or B.Sc. for scientific-assistant roles;
• relevant B.E./B.Tech., M.Sc., M.Tech. or Ph.D. for engineering/scientific project posts; and
• relevant graduation/engineering qualification with MBA, where prescribed, for project management or executive roles.

Most post codes require at least 55% marks or equivalent CGPA, unless the detailed job description states otherwise. Candidates should match their discipline, experience and post code carefully against the official annexure.

Experience

Experience varies widely by level:

• entry-level Project Engineer / Project Associate posts generally allow nil experience;
• Senior Project Engineer / Associate posts normally require 3+ years, unless the higher qualification route applies;
• Project Scientist requires 2+ years;
• Senior Project Scientist requires 4+ years;
• B/C-level Scientific or Technical Assistant positions require the post-specific experience shown in the advertisement; and
• Project Manager / Executive positions carry their own experience rules.

Experience is counted after obtaining the prescribed essential qualification unless the advertisement explicitly says otherwise.

Age Limit

Upper age limits vary by category, broadly from 25 to 40 years.

SC/ST candidates receive 5 years, OBC-NCL candidates 3 years, and eligible PwBD candidates 10 years of relaxation, with additional category relaxation as notified. Ex-servicemen relaxation applies under Government of India rules.

Salary / Consolidated Remuneration

Because pay differs by category, combined salary fields are intentionally not flattened into one misleading schema range.

Application Fee

The official advertisement states an application fee of ₹100, payable online through the SAMEER recruitment portal. The fee is non-refundable.

Selection Process

Selection stages depend on the post category:

• Project Engineer / Associate and Senior Project Engineer / Associate: written test + online interview + in-person interview.
