The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst's Take – Is This Recruitment for You?
This is a regular recruitment in a specialised central autonomous laboratory under MeitY. Technician ‘B’ and Technical Assistant form the bulk of seats and require trade-specific ITI/Diploma plus two years of relevant industry or R&D experience. Administrative posts demand substantial supervisory experience at Level-6 or equivalent CTC. The process is multi-stage with negative marking and strict certificate verification at document verification.
Best fit: Candidates with the exact trade qualification and post-qualification experience who can prepare for a CBT that includes both general aptitude and curriculum-based sections, and who are comfortable with a posting that may not remain in Mohali.
Who should skip: Those seeking pure generalist roles without the required experience, or candidates who cannot meet the cut-off date for qualifications/experience, or who are unwilling to arrange their own scribe if eligible for one.
Practical tip: Prepare separate applications and fee payments if you are eligible for both a Technical Assistant trade and a Technician ‘B’ trade; the CBTs are in different sessions, but you must apply and pay separately.
