CCRAS Office Assistant Recruitment 2026: Overview
Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS) is engaging retired staff as Office Assistant (Administration) at its Regional Ayurveda Research Institute in Poojapura, Thiruvananthapuram. The institute works under the Ministry of AYUSH, and this engagement is on a contract basis. The notice connects the engagement to a vacant administrative post and provides for it to end when a regular appointment is made.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Initial tenure: The engagement lasts for six months initially, or until a regular appointment fills the vacant post, whichever happens earlier. You should consider this limit when deciding whether the assignment fits your plans.
- Continuance: The institute can end the contract at any time. The engagement gives you no claim to continued service or a regular appointment.
- Interview travel: The institute will not pay travel or daily allowance for attending the interview. You will need to make your own arrangements for the visit to Thiruvananthapuram.
- Conflicting vacancy information: The introductory text and the post table give different totals. Ask the institute to clarify this discrepancy before relying on either figure.
