CSIR-CRRI Recruitment 2026: Walk-in for 17 Project Associate and Senior Project Associate Vacancies

This opportunity is ideal for engineering and technology graduates, especially those with specializations in Civil, Environmental, Transportation, or Mechanical Engineering. Candidates with relevant research and development experience in industrial or academic institutions, or those with NET/GATE qualifications, will find themselves at a significant advantage. It's particularly suited for individuals seeking temporary project-based roles within a prestigious government research institution, offering valuable exposure and experience in cutting-edge projects related to electric vehicles or road safety.

Individuals seeking permanent employment should not apply, as these are purely temporary project-based positions with a maximum tenure of 8-9 months, extendable up to 5 years (for some posts), or co-terminus with the project. Candidates without a Bachelor's degree in Engineering/Technology or relevant Master's will not meet the essential qualifications. Those unable to attend the walk-in interviews on the specified dates in New Delhi, or who cannot furnish original documents and an NOC (if applicable), will be disqualified.

CSIR-CRRI is a highly respected national research institute, offering a strong platform for early-career researchers or those looking to gain specialized project experience within a central government autonomous body. While the roles are temporary, they provide excellent exposure to significant projects, enhancing one's CV. Long-term career growth within these specific project roles is limited by their temporary nature, but the institutional reputation and experience gained can open doors to future opportunities in research, academia, or related industries.
