The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst's Take – Is This Recruitment for You?
This is a deputation circular for three posts in the Bengaluru office of NCCS. The period is ordinarily not more than three years for Junior Engineer and an initial one year (extendable) for Telecom Assistant and LDC. The declaration requires the officer to state that the posting is purely temporary and carries no right to absorption or seniority in the borrowing department. Officers must already hold an analogous post or the specified years of regular service in the next lower level, and their parent office must be able to relieve them immediately.
Best fit: Serving Central or State government officers already in the relevant pay levels who want a short-term deputation in a technical/security organisation in Bengaluru and can be spared by their parent department.
Skip if you are looking for a permanent absorption, are not currently in government service, or your parent office cannot relieve you immediately.
Practical tip: Get the vigilance clearance and the five years of ACR/APAR copies attested and signed by the Head of Office before the closing date; incomplete forwarding is a common reason for rejection.
What makes this recruitment different is the explicit no-absorption declaration and the requirement that services be spared immediately.

- The declaration (Annexure-C) must be signed by the official and counter-signed by the Controlling Officer.
What Are the Service Conditions?
- The posting is purely on a temporary deputation basis and does not give any right to claim seniority or absorption in the Department of Telecommunications.
