ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute Recruitment 2026: 2 Contractual Young Professional-I & Field Assistant Posts

This opportunity is ideal for recent graduates in Agricultural Science (B.Sc. Agriculture) with practical field and laboratory experience, coupled with computer skills, who are seeking short-term, project-based work. It is also suitable for 10th pass candidates with relevant field experience in agricultural practices and lab maintenance. Candidates looking to gain experience in a prestigious central government research institution on a specific project basis will find these roles beneficial.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment with long-term career progression and higher salaries should not apply, as these are purely temporary and contractual positions co-terminus with the project. Those without the specified educational qualifications or relevant practical experience in agriculture or field/lab work will also find these roles unsuitable.

Working with ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, a premier national agricultural research body, offers invaluable experience and a strong addition to one's resume. While these roles are contractual and project-specific, they provide exposure to significant research in agricultural interventions, particularly in a key state like Uttar Pradesh. This experience can serve as a strong foundation for future opportunities in agricultural research, development, or related sectors, despite the limited long-term scope within the institute itself.
