ICMR Recruitment 2026: Walk-in Interview for 1 Consultant (Administration) Post

This role is ideal for highly experienced administrative professionals, aged between 40 and 70, who possess a postgraduate degree in a relevant field (Arts, Commerce, Management, Law, Public Administration, Finance & Accounts, CA, ICWAI, or Economics). Candidates must have at least 10 years of administrative experience within government departments, PSUs, or autonomous bodies, and be seeking a short-term, contractual engagement (one year, extendable) focused on research administration at a national level. The position suits individuals who thrive in dynamic project-based environments and are proficient in financial management, technical procurement, and inter-departmental coordination.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely temporary and contractual position. Candidates with less than 10 years of administrative experience, or those without a relevant postgraduate degree, will not meet the essential criteria. Furthermore, candidates currently in regular service under any Central/State Government, Autonomous Body, Department, or PSU are explicitly ineligible. Those unable to attend the walk-in interview on the specified date and time will also be excluded.

Working with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), a prestigious autonomous body under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, offers significant exposure to national-level health research administration. While the role is contractual and project-based, it provides an opportunity to contribute to vital administrative work within the NCD Division. This engagement can enhance one's professional network and resume, demonstrating experience with a leading government research institution. Long-term career growth in terms of permanent positions is not guaranteed, but the experience gained is highly valued in public sector administration.
