ICMR Recruitment 2026: 02 Young Professionals-II (Legal) Vacancies

This role is ideally suited for Law graduates with a minimum of two years of hands-on experience in civil, service, or labor arbitration cases, including practical skills in drafting legal agreements. Candidates should be looking for a contractual engagement within a prestigious government research organization and be prepared to participate in a walk-in interview. It's an excellent opportunity for legal professionals seeking exposure to the legal framework of central autonomous bodies.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this position is purely temporary and contractual with no claims for regularization. Fresh graduates without the mandatory two years of post-enrolment experience as an advocate, or candidates currently in regular service with Central/State Government/Autonomous bodies/PSUs, are ineligible. Those uncomfortable with a fixed consolidated pay and no HRA may find this role unsuitable.

The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) is a highly reputable autonomous organization under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare. While the engagement is contractual for a maximum of three years, it offers significant professional prestige and invaluable experience in handling diverse legal matters within a central government-affiliated research institution. This exposure can be a strong asset for future career progression in the public or private legal sectors, particularly in areas related to government regulations and administrative law.
