The Executive Assistant role is for candidates with the specified B.Sc, B.Com or B.A qualification.
The advertisement sets out separate academic, marks, age and experience conditions for individual post codes. Candidates should read the detailed notification and annexures before selecting a role; a general qualification summary should not be treated as proof of eligibility.
Age Limit and Experience
The upper age limit varies by post and is reported as 25 years for several Scientific Assistant and Technical Assistant roles, 28 years for Project Engineer and 30 years for Project Executive. The applicable age is calculated on the date specified in the advertisement. Experience requirements also vary by role and grade; applicants must check the relevant post code and annexure for the precise conditions.
Contract Duration and Selection Process
The positions are contractual for up to two years or the project duration, whichever is earlier. Selection may include screening of academic qualifications, a written test, online interview, in-person interview and/or skill test, depending on the position. The schedule published for this recruitment lists an online written test from November 22 onwards and online interviews from November 27 to 30; any proposed in-person assessment must be confirmed through an individual call letter or official update.
Application Fee: Check Before Paying
Some recruitment summaries of Advertisement 11/2026 report a non-refundable fee of ₹100. However, the central recruitment portal’s general instructions state that payment is nil for contractual positions. Because these two instructions appear inconsistent, candidates should check the fee displayed against Advertisement 11/2026 in their live application account or obtain confirmation from SAMEER before making any payment. Do not pay through an unofficial link.
