One walk-in seat under an ICMR anti-TB project at MANIT Bhopal
MANIT Bhopal is hiring one Project Technical Support - III for an ICMR-funded project on mycobacterial drug resistance, through a walk-in interview on 07-10-2026. There is no application form to submit in advance; candidates are assessed on the day.
A post tied to one ICMR project, not a regular institute vacancy
The position sits under the project "Targeting Glutamate Decarboxylase to Overcome Mycobacterial Persistence and Drug Resistance: Exploring New Horizons in Anti-TB Therapeutic Interventions", funded by the Indian Council of Medical Research. The appointment is purely temporary and co-terminus with the project, so the notice states plainly there is no claim for regular appointment. Initial appointment is for 1 year, extendable up to the full project tenure of maximum 3 years, with the Principal Investigator reviewing progress every 6 months.
First division at both degree levels, in a named list of biology branches
Applicants need an M.Sc., M.Tech., B.Tech., M.Pharm or MS in Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, or another branch of Modern Biology that the Principal Investigator accepts, with a minimum of 60% marks or equivalent in first division. The notice adds that the preceding degree must also be first division, so a first-division postgraduate result alone will not clear this bar if the earlier degree fell short. NET or GATE is desirable, not required, and prior work in Molecular Biology techniques, cell culture or mycobacterial research is preferred.
Rs.28,000 plus 20% HRA, ICMR norms, no TA/DA for the interview
The emolument is Rs.28,000 per month plus HRA at 20%, paid as per ICMR norms. Candidates are told directly that no TA/DA will be admissible, so travel to Bhopal for the walk-in is at their own cost.
Reporting to the Seminar Hall in the Biological Science and Engineering department at 1:30 PM
The walk-in interview is on 07-10-2026 at 1:30 PM, in the Seminar Hall of the Department of Biological Science and Engineering, MANIT, Bhopal. Candidates are asked to bring a statement of purpose (which can also be emailed in advance to shivendrachaurasiya@gmail.com), a plain-paper application with complete bio-data, self-attested copies of certificates and mark sheets, any experience certificates, one recent passport-size photograph, and original documents for verification. The notice is signed by Dr Shivendra Kumar Chaurasiya, Associate Professor and Principal Investigator of the project.
Project Technical Support - III at MANIT Bhopal, questions candidates are asking
Q1. Do I need to register anywhere before the walk-in?
No. There is no online form; you attend the walk-in on 07-10-2026 at 1:30 PM with the documents listed above.
Q2. Will this become a permanent MANIT position later?
No. The notice is explicit that the post is purely temporary, co-terminus with the project, with no claim for regular appointment.
Q3. My postgraduate result is first division but my degree before that was second division. Am I still eligible?
The notice requires the preceding degree to also be first division, so this would not meet the stated qualification.
Q4. Is travel reimbursed for attending the interview?
No, the notice states no TA/DA will be admissible.
