The National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (NCPOR) is an autonomous scientific society under the Ministry of Earth Sciences, located at Vasco-da-Gama, Goa. As the nodal agency coordinating India's Antarctic (Maitri & Bharati), Arctic (Himadri), and Southern Ocean research programmes, officers in Administration, Finance, and Procurement manage high-value scientific equipment tenders, customs clearance for polar expeditions, vessel chartering contracts, GFR compliance, and institutional administration.

Posting & Transfer Policy

Crucial Application Warnings & Eligibility Traps

Avoid common application rejection triggers, photo/signature guidelines, and certificate validity windows.

  • Strict Online Mode Only: Applications must be submitted through the online portal only; physical or emailed submissions are summarily rejected.
  • Post-Degree Experience Calculation: Experience will be calculated strictly after completing essential academic qualifications; pre-qualification experience will not be counted.
  • Documentary Proof Mandate: Experience certificates must specify detailed duties, joining dates, and relieving dates; offer letters and salary slips alone will not be accepted as valid experience proof.
  • Irreversible Submission: Online applications cannot be edited after final submission; verify all details before clicking submit.
  • No TA/DA for Interview: Candidates called for the interview in Goa must make their own travel and lodging arrangements.
