SINP Recruitment 2026: Apply Online for 62 Scientist

Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics (SINP) has announced recruitment for 62 vacancies across Scientific, Technical, Administrative and Auxiliary positions. The recruitment includes posts such as Scientist ‘C’, Scientific Assistant ‘B’, Technician ‘B’, Lower Division Clerk (LDC), Security Guard ‘A’, Work Assistant ‘A’ and Halwai-cum-Cook. The Assistant Administrative Officer-I post is to be filled on deputation.

The online application process began on July 31, 2026. Candidates have until September 15, 2026, at 3:00 PM IST to submit the online application. However, completing the online form is not the only submission requirement: applicants must also email the generated PDF application and supporting documents by September 18, 2026. Candidates covered by the proper-channel or deputation provisions have an additional hard-copy submission requirement.

SINP Recruitment 2026: Vacancy Details

The 62 vacancies are distributed across several categories. Eligibility, experience, age limit and selection procedure differ according to the individual post, so applicants should check the exact post code before applying.

Post Name	Vacancies	Pay Level	Upper Age Limit
Scientist ‘C’	5	Level 10	33 years
Scientific Assistant ‘B’	8	Level 6	30 years
Technician ‘B’	18	Level 3	25 years
Assistant Administrative Officer-I	1	Level 7	As per applicable rules
Lower Division Clerk	7	Level 2	27 years
Security Guard ‘A’	8	Level 1	27 years
Work Assistant ‘A’	11	Level 1	27 years
Halwai-cum-Cook	4	Level 3	25 years

The pay levels shown above are based on the notified Central Pay structure. Actual monthly salary will depend on applicable allowances and deductions and should not be confused with the basic pay level.

SINP Recruitment 2026: Educational Qualification

There is no common educational qualification for all SINP vacancies. The required qualification depends on the post and, in several cases, the particular discipline or trade. Candidates should therefore compare their qualification with the exact requirement in the official notification instead of relying on a general statement such as “graduates can apply”.

SINP Scientist Posts: Qualification

The Scientist ‘C’ vacancies are intended for candidates with postgraduate qualifications in specified scientific disciplines. Depending on the post code, the notification specifies subjects including Physics, Applied Physics, Optics and Photonics. Some Scientist positions also require relevant post-qualification experience and specialised knowledge.

Because the requirements vary between Scientist post codes, an M.Sc. holder should check the prescribed subject for the particular vacancy before submitting an application.

SINP Scientific Assistant Posts: Qualification

Scientific Assistant ‘B’ vacancies are associated with specific technical disciplines. The notification includes qualifications such as diplomas in relevant engineering or technical fields, with requirements varying between posts. Disciplines include computer software technology, electronics and instrumentation, electrical engineering, air-conditioning and refrigeration, and mechanical engineering.

Where experience is prescribed, merely possessing the diploma does not satisfy the complete eligibility condition. Applicants should verify both the qualification and experience requirements for their selected post.

SINP Technician Posts: Qualification

Technician ‘B’ recruitment is based on the prescribed school-level qualification, relevant ITI trade and experience requirements. The trades vary according to the vacancy and include areas such as electrician/wireman, welding, carpentry, refrigeration and air conditioning, electronics, computer hardware and networking, and civil draughtsmanship.

The relevant ITI trade must correspond to the post for which the candidate is applying. Candidates should not assume that an ITI certificate in one trade automatically qualifies them for every Technician vacancy.

SINP Administrative Posts: Qualification

The administrative and auxiliary vacancies have their own eligibility conditions. For example, the Lower Division Clerk post requires graduation with the prescribed marks along with the required typing and computer qualifications. Security Guard ‘A’, Work Assistant ‘A’ and Halwai-cum-Cook have different educational, experience and skill requirements.

The Halwai-cum-Cook post, for instance, has a specific catering-related qualification requirement in addition to the prescribed school-level education. Applicants should therefore read the individual post description carefully rather than applying based only on their highest educational qualification.

SINP Recruitment 2026: Age Limit

The upper age limit differs according to the position. For direct recruitment, the maximum age generally ranges from 25 to 33 years, depending on the post. The crucial date for determining age is September 15, 2026, the closing date of the online application.

Age relaxation is available to eligible reserved and other categories according to the applicable Government of India rules and the conditions stated in the notification. Candidates claiming relaxation must possess the required supporting documents in the prescribed form.

SINP Recruitment 2026: Selection Process

The selection procedure is not identical for every vacancy. SINP has prescribed different methods according to the nature of the post.

Post Category	Selection Method
Scientist ‘C’	Interview; qualifying written test may be conducted
Scientific Assistant ‘B’	Written test followed by qualifying trade test
Technician ‘B’	Written test followed by qualifying trade test
Lower Division Clerk	Written test followed by qualifying typing test
Security Guard ‘A’	Physical fitness test followed by written test
Work Assistant ‘A’	MCQ-based written test
Halwai-cum-Cook	Written test followed by cooking skill test
Assistant Administrative Officer-I	Written examination and APAR assessment under deputation process

For several technical and skill-based posts, qualifying the written examination does not by itself guarantee selection. Candidates must also qualify in the relevant trade or skill test. The method used to prepare the final merit list also differs by post, so applicants should read the selection provisions applicable to their chosen vacancy.

SINP Recruitment 2026: Application Fee

The application fee depends on the category of post. The notified fee is Rs. 500 for Scientist ‘C’ and Scientific Assistant ‘B’, while the fee for the other specified posts is Rs. 300.

Post Category	Application Fee
Scientist ‘C’	Rs. 500
Scientific Assistant ‘B’	Rs. 500
Other applicable posts	Rs. 300

Exemptions are provided for eligible categories and candidates under the conditions specified by SINP. Candidates should check the fee-exemption provision before making payment.

SINP Recruitment 2026: Important Dates

Event	Date
Notification issued	July 31, 2026

Last date for online application	September 15, 2026, at 3:00 PM

The deadlines serve different purposes. Candidates should not assume that submitting the online form by September 15 completes every part of the application process. The generated application PDF and supporting documents must be sent by email within the separate deadline, while applicants covered by the proper-channel or deputation provisions must follow the additional submission instructions.

SINP Recruitment 2026: Documents Required

Candidates should prepare the documents relevant to their selected post before completing the application. The supporting material may include proof of date of birth, educational certificates, ITI or diploma certificates, experience certificates and category documents.

• Proof of date of birth
• Educational qualification certificates and mark sheets
• Diploma or ITI certificate, where applicable
• Relevant experience certificate, where required
• Category certificate, where applicable
• EWS or OBC-NCL documents, where applicable
• PwBD or ex-servicemen documents, where applicable
• Recent photograph and signature
• Application fee payment details, where applicable

Applicants working in government, public-sector, autonomous or similar organisations should pay particular attention to the proper-channel provisions. The required forwarding letter, vigilance clearance and other documents must be handled according to the notification.

SINP Recruitment 2026: How to Apply

Candidates should begin by identifying the post code for which they are eligible. The online application should then be completed through the SINP recruitment portal with the required personal, educational and employment information.

After submission, candidates must save the completed application in the prescribed PDF format. The notification requires the generated application and supporting documents to be sent by email as instructed. Applicants applying for more than one post must submit separate applications for each post and pay the applicable fee separately.

Applicants subject to proper-channel requirements should allow sufficient time for their employer or competent authority to complete the forwarding process. This is particularly relevant for candidates applying for the deputation vacancy.

SINP Recruitment 2026: Official Notification and Apply Link

The official notification is the controlling document for eligibility, age, experience, reservation, selection, fee and document requirements. Candidates should use the recruitment portal for the online application rather than relying on third-party application links.

• Official SINP Recruitment Notification: View the official notification PDF
• Official SINP Application Portal: Apply online through the SINP recruitment portal

SINP Recruitment 2026 is therefore best approached as a post-specific recruitment rather than a single eligibility exercise. The 62 vacancies cover substantially different qualifications and selection methods. Before submitting the form, candidates should confirm that their exact qualification, discipline or trade, experience, age and category documents satisfy the requirements of the particular post code. The immediate deadline for online submission is September 15, 2026, at 3:00 PM IST, followed by the required PDF and document submission within the applicable deadlines.
