CSIR NEIST Security Officer Recruitment 2026: Overview
CSIR-North East Institute of Science and Technology (CSIR-NEIST) is recruiting a Security Officer for its research institute in Jorhat, Assam. Part of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research under the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, the institute carries out basic and applied research using laboratories, analytical equipment and pilot facilities. This is a regular council-service position covering an institute with both research premises and residential campuses.
The notice identifies the role through post code SEC. You would join an organisation whose research spans scientific disciplines and serves economic, environmental and societal needs. Although Jorhat is the normal base, the appointment carries an all-India transfer liability, which matters if you are planning around a fixed home location.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Posting and transfers: Your normal workplace is CSIR-NEIST, Jorhat. The competent authority can also assign you to a section or division at another CSIR laboratory or institute, including field and regional centres anywhere in India, when public-interest needs call for it.
- Probation: You will start on probation for a period decided by the institute. The authority can shorten or extend that period, and continuation follows successful completion under the applicable rules. The notice does not give a fixed probation duration.
- Campus accommodation: Institute housing depends on availability and the CSIR allotment rules. You may need to live in a CSIR-NEIST staff quarter if the situation calls for it, so the accommodation condition is relevant when planning your move.
- Service rules: You will work under the administrative control of the Director. Central civil-service conduct and disciplinary rules apply to council employees to the extent specified by CSIR, along with the recruitment rules for isolated-category staff.
- Travel costs: The institute will not reimburse travel or daily expenses for attending the physical or written tests. Plan your travel with this condition in mind if you live outside Jorhat.
- Recruitment discretion: The Director can cancel the recruitment, leave the post unfilled, or change its terms and selection arrangements. Applying does not guarantee an appointment, and the institute's decisions on the recruitment are final.
- Accuracy and conduct: False claims or withheld information can lead to cancellation, including removal after joining. You must disclose close relatives working in CSIR or its institutes, and attempts to influence recruitment can disqualify you.
Application Submission Notes
The notification directs you to the CSIR-NEIST website and its career portal for the online form. Keep the generated application printout for your records; you do not need to send a hard copy to the institute.
Applications cannot be withdrawn once made, and a paid fee cannot be refunded or transferred to another recruitment. Check the institute website for recruitment updates because that is where CSIR-NEIST will announce further notices.
Responsibilities
- Supervise daily security across institute offices, residential colonies, guest houses and staff quarters.
- Coordinate intelligence, vigilance, firefighting and building safety arrangements.
- Maintain round-the-clock vigilance across the institute and colony campuses.
- Regulate the movement of people and goods into and out of the premises.
