What Is the Eligibility for PJTAU SRF & Young Professional-I 2026?
Educational Qualification
| Post | Qualification Required |
|---|---|
| Senior Research Fellow (SRF) | M.Sc. in Agriculture with specialization in the Department of Entomology / Pathology |
| Young Professional-I (YP-I) | Graduate in B.Sc. (Agriculture); preference should be given for experience in cotton crop research |
If you hold an M.Sc. (Agriculture) in Entomology or Pathology, the SRF post is for you. B.Sc. Agriculture graduates can look at the YP-I post. Cotton research experience is a plus for YP-I, but the notice does not make it compulsory; it says only that preference should be given for such experience. Note that the SRF qualification is tied to a specialization, so an M.Sc. in another agriculture subject does not match the wording printed in the notice. Read the qualification line of your post once more before you plan your travel.
Age Limit

|---|---|
| Senior Research Fellow (SRF) | 45 years |
| Young Professional-I (YP-I) | 45 years |
