CICEF Deputy Director Civil Recruitment 2026

CICEF Deputy Director Civil Recruitment 2026: Overview

Central Institute of Coastal Engineering for Fishery (CICEF) is filling its Deputy Director (Civil Engineering) position in Bengaluru through deputation. The institute works under the Department of Fisheries, Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying. This is a General Central Service Group A gazetted, non-ministerial post connected with engineering support for fishery harbours and fish landing centres.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Deputation tenure: The total deputation period should normally stay within four years. This includes an immediately preceding deputation to another post outside your cadre in the same or another Central Government organisation or department.
• Promotion and deputation: Departmental staff in the feeder category who are directly in line for promotion cannot use this deputation route. Likewise, officers on deputation cannot be considered for appointment through promotion under this notice.
• Service terms: The appointment follows the Department of Personnel and Training's applicable deputation instructions, including subsequent amendments. Read these together with the vacancy circular when considering a move from your parent cadre.
• Release from your present office: The employer's certificate includes an undertaking to release you immediately if selected. Your office also needs to confirm that the details in your application match its records.
• Appointment route: The attached standard form refers to several possible recruitment routes. Its explanatory note says those options apply only when the vacancy circular specifically allows them; this circular advertises deputation.
• Application completeness: CICEF will not consider late or incomplete applications. Missing service records can also make an application unacceptable, so coordinate the forwarding process with your cadre authority.

Application Submission Notes

• Have your application in the enclosed format forwarded in duplicate through proper channel to the Director, Central Institute of Coastal Engineering for Fishery (CICEF), opposite ISRO Quarters, Jalahalli, Bengaluru 560013.
• If you already work on deputation, your parent cadre or department must forward the application; the form also asks you to identify your substantive parent post and the organisation where you retain your lien.
• In the employment history, distinguish your regular post's pay scale from personal financial upgrades under Assured Career Progression or Modified Assured Career Progression (ACP/MACP); the form provides a separate space for those upgrades.
• You may add a signed extra sheet where the employment-history space is insufficient, and separate sheets for relevant additional information or achievements such as professional training, reports and recognised projects.
• The cadre controlling authority must check your entries before forwarding them; complete the form's declaration accurately because the selection committee will assess the supporting information about your suitability.

• Conduct feasibility studies and detailed engineering investigations.
• Plan harbour layouts and design maritime structures.
• Prepare estimates and techno-economic feasibility reports.
• Review project proposals sent by the Ministry, states and Union Territories.
