What is the Eligibility for NEIAFMR Pasighat Recruitment 2026?
Educational Qualification and Experience
| Post | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Project Associate-II (Taxonomy) | M.Sc in Botany with specialization in taxonomy, plus 2 years’ experience |

All degrees must be from a recognized university or institution.

The desirable (not compulsory) skills are expertise in survey, collection and identification of plants for Taxonomy, and sound knowledge of pharmacognostical techniques for Pharmacognosy. Both also list skills in drafting and editing scientific documents. If you are a post graduate looking for government jobs, these desirable skills can help you stand out.

What is the Salary for NEIAFMR Pasighat Project Posts 2026?
| Post | Monthly Emoluments |
|---|---|
| Project Associate-II (both posts) | ₹35,000 + HRA if CSIR-UGC/ICAR/ICMR NET or GATE qualified; ₹28,000 + HRA for others |
| Project Associate-I (all three posts) | ₹31,000 + HRA if CSIR-UGC/ICAR/ICMR NET or GATE qualified; ₹25,000 + HRA for others |
| Scientific Administrative Assistant | ₹18,000 + HRA |
| Field Worker | ₹18,000 + HRA |
HRA is admissible as per Government of India rules. So if you have cleared NET or GATE, carry the proof, because it moves you to the higher figure. The notification does not mention any other allowance. Note that this is a project job, so the pay is a fixed monthly figure and not a government pay level. Do not expect pension or regular-service benefits, because the notification clearly says there will be no claim of continuance or regular appointment. Still, for a fresh postgraduate or a researcher who wants hands-on experience in a Ministry of Ayush institute, one year of project work is a useful step on the CV.
What is the Selection Process for NEIAFMR Pasighat 2026?
The notification announces a walk-in interview. It does not describe any other stage, marks or weightage, so please check the official website for any change.

Revise the basics of your own field, such as plant taxonomy, pharmacognosy, chemistry, microbiology or IT, and be ready to explain your project or research experience in simple words.
