Ministry of Heavy Industries Consultant Grade-I Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly skilled professionals with a Master's degree in Computer Application, Data Science, Data Analytics, or an MBA in Data Management, or a BE/B.Tech. Candidates with 3-8 years of post-qualification experience in PSU, Government, Research, or Industry sectors, particularly those familiar with online software platforms for Data Management, will find this a fitting opportunity. Retired government officers with relevant experience are also encouraged to apply, provided they meet the age and experience guidelines.

Individuals without the specified Master's or Bachelor's degrees in the relevant fields, or those lacking the minimum 3 years of post-qualification experience, should not apply. The role is contractual with no annual increment, which might be a dealbreaker for candidates seeking permanent employment with guaranteed pay progression. Those above 44 years of age (as of January 1, 2026), who are not retired government servants, will also be ineligible.

Working as a Consultant Grade-I within a Central Government Ministry (Ministry of Heavy Industries) offers significant prestige and exposure to policy-making and high-level administrative functions. While a contractual position, it provides a valuable opportunity to contribute to national initiatives. The role, despite being a single vacancy, is critical for supporting the Ministry's data management and strategic tasks, potentially opening doors for future high-impact engagements in government or public sector consultancy.
