ICAR - Central Institute of Fisheries Technology Recruitment 2026: 1 Project Associate Vacancy

This role is ideal for young, motivated B.E./B.Tech graduates in relevant engineering disciplines with a strong academic record (1st class or 60% marks) who are seeking valuable temporary research experience within a Central Government autonomous body. Candidates with a keen interest in food processing machinery development, automation, and mechanical design, and who are available for immediate engagement through a walk-in interview, would be well-suited.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or long-term job stability will find this contractual and temporary position unsuitable. Those who do not meet the strict educational qualification of a 1st class B.E./B.Tech degree or fall outside the 21-45 age limit (before relaxations) should not apply. Candidates unable to attend the walk-in interview with all required documents and a No Objection Certificate (if currently employed) will also not be considered.

Working with ICAR-CIFT offers significant prestige and a valuable opportunity to gain experience in fisheries technology research under a Central Government organization. While the position itself is contractual and temporary, it provides an excellent stepping stone for career development in research and a chance to contribute to a nationally recognized institution. It can enhance a candidate's profile for future permanent research or engineering roles in both public and private sectors.
