National Bee Board (NBB) Recruitment 2026: Apply for 3 Consultant & Technical Assistant Vacancies

This opportunity is ideal for postgraduates with a Master's degree in Agriculture, Horticulture, Entomology, or Apiculture, and a minimum of 1-2 years of relevant experience. Candidates should have a strong academic record, particularly those with a First Division or 60% marks. Proficiency in computer skills (ICT tools, MIS portals) and hands-on experience in beekeeping/Apiculture are desirable, especially for the Consultant role. Individuals experienced in government scheme management, project formulation, and consultancy within the agricultural sector will find these roles highly suitable. The Consultant position is open to individuals up to 60 years of age, and the Technical Assistant position up to 45 years.

Candidates without a relevant Master's degree in the specified agricultural disciplines or the mandatory experience will not be eligible. Those seeking permanent government employment should note that these are purely contractual positions, initially for one year, without immediate provisions for regularization. Individuals whose experience is not directly related to project management, government schemes, or beekeeping/Apiculture will likely find it difficult to qualify.

Working with the National Bee Board, an entity under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Government of India, offers significant exposure to national-level agricultural policy and development. These roles contribute directly to boosting the beekeeping sector, honey production, and farmer income across India. While the positions are contractual, they provide valuable experience in a specialized and impactful domain within the central government framework, enhancing one's profile in agricultural development and rural livelihoods. The scope involves contributing to critical national missions like the National Beekeeping and Honey Mission (NBHM).
