PAT 61/2026 offers one temporary Project Associate-II vacancy. Online deadline 15 October. This is not the 16 October walk-in.
Two qualification routes
The listed science masters route requires 2 years R&D and a prescribed NET/GATE/central-government national exam. The table separately gives an OR route: Masters/Integrated Masters Engineering/Technology in Bioengineering/Biotechnology. Do not impose the first route's experience/test on this alternative without clarification.
Online form caveat
The notice and careers listing confirm 15 October. The prescribed PAT Cell portal retrieved during verification showed an older PAT 59 listing. Check PAT 61 availability; this page does not confirm the submission form currently works.
Upload DOB, category, qualification and experience documents. Existing CSIR project staff need PI NOC; appointment requires previous-project no-dues and resignation. Six-year cumulative project cap applies. Initial 6 months, possible March 2028 extension is not guaranteed or permanent employment.
Compare PAT 64 walk-in.
