What is the Salary for THSTI Recruitment 2026 Project Posts?
The pay is a consolidated monthly amount. Except for the Lab Technician, every post also gets HRA on top.
| Post | Monthly Pay |
|---|---|
| Project Research Scientist-III | Rs 78,000 plus HRA |
| Project Research Scientist-II | Rs 67,000 plus HRA |
| Project Research Scientist-I | Rs 56,000 plus HRA |
| Project Technical Support-III | Rs 28,000 plus HRA |
| Project Technical Support-II | Rs 20,000 plus HRA |
| Lab Technician | Rs 28,520 (no HRA is mentioned) |
These are short-term positions. An extension is possible only if your work is satisfactory and the project continues. The notification clearly says you will have no claim to regularisation. So treat this as a strong research-experience job and not a permanent post. For a fresh Life Sciences post-graduate, Project Research Scientist-I at Rs 56,000 is the best starting point, since it needs no minimum experience. Project Technical Support-II pays Rs 20,000 plus HRA but is not an entry job: Life Sciences graduates need 2 years and MLT/DMLT diploma holders 5 years of experience.
What is the Selection Process for THSTI Walk-in 2026?
The notification invites you for a written test, skill test or interview at 9:00 am on the date shown against your post. It does not say which of these applies to which post, so be ready for all three. If many candidates turn up, THSTI will screen them and call only those with higher or relevant qualification and experience. Your documents will be checked against the originals.
Please note the number of vacancies can change according to the actual requirement at the time of the test or interview. Revise the lab techniques named in your post: gel electrophoresis, PCR, ELISA, flow cytometry, cell culture or LC-MS/MS, as the case may be. Be ready to explain your project thesis or publications in simple words. For more preparation help see our preparation strategy page.
