ILBS Recruitment 2026: Interview Schedule and Vacancy Details

The supplied recruitment information does not state an application fee; it should not be treated as confirmation that applying is free.

The ILBS Research Project

ILBS is an autonomous society under the Government of NCT of Delhi. This vacancy belongs to the ICMR-funded project, “Developing a Culture-Independent Rapid Detection Panel of Bacterial Infection in Ascitic Fluid of Decompensated Liver Cirrhosis and Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis”. Dr Chhagan Bihari, Professor in the Department of Pathology at ILBS, New Delhi, is the Principal Investigator. The advertised role is attached to this specific research project.

Who Can Apply for Project Research Scientist-I?

There is one opening in the non-medical category. Candidates should assess their educational qualification and age together before preparing the application. The funding agency is the Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR), and the stated emoluments follow its sanction for this project.

Educational Qualification and Experience

The essential qualification is a postgraduate degree, with integrated postgraduate degrees also accepted. For Engineering, Information Technology and Computer Science (Engineering/IT/CS), the stated qualification is a four-year graduate degree. Experience, where considered, counts only after obtaining the essential educational qualification. As general preparation guidance, arrange qualification and employment dates clearly so that the relevant experience period can be understood from the application.

Age Limit and Cut-off

The stated age limit is 35 years, calculated as on the closing date. The supplied information does not identify a separate closing date or give age-relaxation details. Candidates should therefore avoid substituting the interview date as the age cut-off without a stated basis.

Monthly Pay and HRA

Monthly emoluments total Rs. 72,800, comprising basic pay of Rs. 56,000 and HRA at 30%. HRA is already part of the total; it is not an additional payment above Rs. 72,800. The amount is stated as sanctioned by the funding agency.

General guidance: compare your degree details with the stated qualification before attending. Keep evidence supporting the information entered in the form together, especially qualification dates and any experience claimed.

Contract Duration and Extension Conditions

• The research project runs for three years, while the initial appointment is for 12 months. These are different durations.
• An extension may depend on satisfactory performance and/or the remaining project duration and availability of funds, whichever is earlier. It is not assured.
• The position is purely contractual and co-terminus with the project, meaning its continuation is tied to the project.
• Selection does not create a claim to a regular ILBS appointment or continuation under another project.

Application Form and Documents to Carry

• Carry the completed application in the prescribed format appended to the notice.
• Include documents supporting the educational qualifications entered in the application.
• Carry supporting records for any work experience claimed.
• Paste a recent passport-size photograph on the application form.
• Provide documentary evidence for category details (UR/SC/ST/OBC/Ex-Servicemen) or PWD status involving 40% or more disability, where claimed in the form.

The form seeks personal and contact details, citizenship information, father's/husband's name, educational history, work experience, two references and a signed declaration. General preparation guidance: first complete the prescribed form, then match each qualification and experience entry with its supporting record, and finally check the photograph and signature. Using a different application format can lead to rejection without communication.

Walk-in Interview and Possible Screening

Eligible candidates are invited to the walk-in interview. If applications are numerous, ILBS may conduct further screening using qualifications and experience. Attending the venue therefore does not guarantee selection. General guidance: plan your journey around the stated 11:00 AM interview time and the full venue address, including the Upper Basement and Phase-1 location.

Application Errors and Other Conditions

• Incomplete, late or unsigned applications are liable to rejection. Check all entries and the declaration before attending.
• No TA/DA is payable for the interview or any related process; candidates must account for their own travel expenses.
• Benefits such as Provident Fund, CCA, Leave Travel Concession and medical claims are not provided.
• Canvassing or attempting to influence selection leads to disqualification.
• False or incorrect information submitted during selection can disqualify a candidate at any stage.
• ILBS retains the right to cancel the advertised post without assigning a reason.
