CSIR TKDL Recruitment 2026: 50 Posts, Apply by 12 Oct

CSIR TKDL Recruitment 2026 offers 50 temporary project positions in eight subject groups across seven cities. Submit the online form by 12 October at 5 PM; attending the later test does not replace applying first.

Choose the post code and city before applying

IT has seven posts, Ayurveda seven, Unani seven, Sowa Rigpa six, Siddha eleven, Patent nine, Sanskrit one and Yoga two. The official table gives an individual code, city and reporting time. IT tests are on 14 October; Sowa Rigpa 15 October; Unani 16 October; Ayurveda 22 October; Patent 23 October; Siddha 26 October; Sanskrit/Yoga 30 October.

Online form and offline test are separate steps

The official CSIR careers row links to an HTTP/IP-address form portal. That link was inspected in the first-party page, but the form could not be opened by the verification service. Use the official CSIR listing to reach it and check current availability before uploading documents. Apply separately for each post code. Save the generated application number.

Documents and project tenure

Upload education from matriculation onward, age, statutory-category proof, experience if relevant, publication/patent list if any and detailed biodata. At the test bring originals, a self-attested set, two self-attested photographs and A4 biodata. No TA/DA is paid.

Initial engagement ends on 31 March 2027. Reviewed extensions may run with the project, but are not guaranteed. These posts do not create a right to permanent absorption.
