CSIR-Central Electronics Engineering Research Institute, Pilani has opened applications for 22 technical posts, and the last date to apply is June 20, 2026. For candidates from electronics, computer science, physics, ITI and technical trade backgrounds, this is a strong central government research job opportunity.
The recruitment is for Technical Officer and Technician posts at CSIR-CEERI locations including Pilani, Jaipur and Chennai. Since CEERI works in electronics research, semiconductors, microwave systems, sensors and applied electronics, these roles are useful for candidates who want a technical career inside a research environment.
The application process is fully online through the official CSIR-CEERI website. Candidates should not wait until the last day because documents, fee payment proof and eligibility details need to be uploaded carefully.
What Is CSIR-CEERI and Why This Recruitment Matters
CSIR-CEERI stands for CSIR-Central Electronics Engineering Research Institute. It is a constituent laboratory of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research and is based in Pilani, Rajasthan. The institute was established in 1953 and works in electronics research and development.
Its work areas include advanced information technologies, applied electronics, semiconductor process technology, sensors, microwave systems, high-power microwave systems and vacuum electron devices.
This recruitment matters because the posts are not general office jobs. They are technical roles connected to labs, electronics assembly, circuit work, semiconductor or microwave equipment, computer science support, electrical work and civil support activities.
For example, a Technician in Electronics Mechanic may assist with soldering, circuit assembly, lab maintenance and measurement work. A Technical Officer in Electronics or Physics may support circuit design, electronics assembly and equipment operation. So candidates should apply only if their education and interest match the work.
Important Dates and Vacancy Details
The official advertisement was released on May 21, 2026. Online applications also opened on the same day at 10 AM.
The last date for registration and online application submission is June 20, 2026, at 11:59 PM. This is the most important date for candidates to remember.

The Technical Officer posts include 7 vacancies in Physics or Electronics and 1 vacancy in Computer Science. The Technician posts include 6 vacancies for Electronics Mechanic, 6 for Electrician, Wireman or Electrical Fitter, 1 for Mason or Building Constructor and 1 for Draughtsman Civil.

For Technician posts, candidates need 10th standard with Science subjects and at least 55 percent marks. They also need an ITI certificate or National or State trade certificate in the relevant trade. In some cases, apprentice training or work experience in the relevant trade is also accepted as per the official notification.
The minimum age is 18 years as of June 20, 2026. The upper age limit is 30 years for Technical Officer and 28 years for Technician. Age relaxation is available for eligible categories as per Government of India and CSIR rules.
Candidates should read the official advertisement carefully before applying. Small details matter in government recruitment, especially category certificates, percentage conversion, experience proof and trade eligibility.
Application Fee, Documents and Selection Process
The application fee is Rs. 500 for each post code, wherever applicable. Candidates applying for more than one post code must submit a separate application and pay the fee separately, if required.
SC, ST, PwBD, women and ex-servicemen candidates are exempted from the application fee. The fee has to be paid online through bank transfer, NEFT or net banking as per the bank details given in the official notification. Candidates must upload the transaction details with the application.
The selection process includes screening of applications, a qualifying trade test and a competitive written examination. Only candidates shortlisted after screening will be called for the trade test. Those who qualify the trade test will move to the written exam.
For Technical Officer posts, the written exam will have 200 questions and a total time of 3 hours. It includes Mental Ability, General Awareness, English Language and the concerned subject.
For Technician posts, the written exam will have 150 questions and a total time of 2 hours 30 minutes. It also includes Mental Ability, General Awareness, English Language and the concerned trade subject.
Candidates should upload clear documents in the required format. Important documents include photo, signature, 10th certificate, marksheets, qualification certificates, ITI certificate where applicable, category certificate, fee proof, experience certificate and NOC if currently employed in government or PSU roles.
How Candidates Should Prepare Before Applying
- The first step is to download the official advertisement and check the post code carefully. Many candidates make mistakes by applying for a post that looks similar but has different qualification requirements.
- The second step is to collect documents early. If your university gives CGPA instead of percentage, you may need the official conversion formula. If you are applying under EWS, SC, ST, PwBD or ex-servicemen category, make sure the certificate is valid and in the required format.
- The third step is to avoid last-minute application submission. Government portals can become slow near deadlines. Since the last date is June 20 at 11:59 PM, it is better to complete the application a few days earlier.
Candidates preparing for the written exam should revise reasoning, quantitative aptitude, general awareness, English and the technical subject. For Technician posts, trade knowledge will be important. For Technical Officer posts, graduation or post-graduation level subject knowledge will matter.
