Its commencement depends on Nayara Energy releasing funds and the centre receiving them. This contractual appointment does not create a claim to regularisation or absorption.

The institute may restrict shortlisting using higher qualifications and/or experience. Eligible applicants are therefore not automatically entitled to an interview. Interviews may take place online or in person, with the schedule sent only to shortlisted candidates by email.

For the interview, candidates must produce original documents supporting their education, professional qualifications, experience and age, along with one photocopy set. No TA/DA or incidental attendance expenses will be paid. Amendments and corrigenda will appear only on the institute website. Any approved waiting panel remains valid for one year, and the institute may also decide not to fill the vacancy.
