ETDC Chennai Non-Technical Consultant Recruitment 2026: Overview

Electronics Test and Development Centre (ETDC) / Centre For Reliability (CFR), Chennai is engaging a Non-Technical Consultant for its office at Dr. VSI Estate, Thiruvanmiyur. The centre works under the STQC Directorate in the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. This is a full-time contractual assignment supporting the centre's administration.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Contract period: Your initial engagement lasts one year. An extension depends on the centre's needs and your performance, and the engagement cannot continue beyond five years after retirement.
• Exclusive assignment: You cannot take up another assignment while working as a consultant here. You must also avoid representing or advising anyone on matters that conflict with the centre's interests.
• Office attendance: Normal working hours are 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday to Friday. You must record attendance through the biometric system.
• Urgent work: The office may ask you to arrive early, stay late or attend on holidays to finish time-bound tasks. Such additional attendance does not earn extra payment.
• Leave: You receive 1.5 days of paid leave for each completed month of service. Unused leave cannot be carried beyond the calendar year.
• Confidentiality: You must sign a confidentiality agreement covering ethics and integrity. Information gathered during the assignment cannot be shared or published without the Ministry's written permission.
• Records at exit: Hand over all assignment records to the office before your contract ends. The office links release of your final payment to this handover.
• Ending the contract: Either side can end the engagement with 15 days of written notice. ETDC may also end it for poor work, missed milestones, false information or concerns about honesty and integrity.
• Changes in staffing: Your engagement may end if a government official becomes available to do the work or the centre no longer needs the assignment. The notice also allows the directorate to cancel the engagement.
• Accident liability: The terms state that ETDC does not accept responsibility for loss, accidents, damage or injury arising during the assignment, including travel. Read this condition before accepting the contract.
• Recruitment discretion: The centre may cancel the recruitment or change its requirement without providing a reason. An application therefore does not guarantee an engagement.
