Methods for Shortlisting Candidates
The Screening Committee may adopt one or multiple methods to shortlist candidates for the interview. Below are the key criteria used in the evaluation process:
1. Higher Educational Qualifications
Candidates with higher academic degrees than the minimum requirement may receive preference. For example, if a position requires an M.Tech. degree, a candidate with a Ph.D. in the relevant field might have a better chance of being shortlisted.
2. Desirable Qualifications and Experience
Preference may be given to candidates who possess additional desirable qualifications or work experience in the relevant field. The committee may consider:
โ Specialized training or certifications.
โ Hands-on experience in research projects, industrial work, or government R&D programs.
โ Expertise in specific tools, software, or methodologies relevant to the job role.
3. Research Publications and Patents
Candidates with a strong research background may receive preference based on:
โ Patents filed or granted in a relevant field.
โ Scientific publications in SCI-indexed/peer-reviewed journals.
โ Quality and impact of published research.
4. Quality, Number, and Authorship of Publications
The committee evaluates research work based on:
โ Number of scientific journal publications.
โ Role of the candidate in the publications (First Author, Co-author, or Corresponding Author).
โ Impact factor and reputation of the journal in which the research is published.
5. Research Specialization & Ph.D. Discipline
A candidateโs research specialization or Ph.D. discipline may be assessed based on:
โ The topic of research publications and its relevance to the job.
โ The subject matter of their Ph.D. thesis.
โ Alignment with CSIRโs ongoing or future research projects.
6. Written Test or Seminar
Candidates may be required to appear for a written test or conduct a seminar/presentation to demonstrate their knowledge, problem-solving ability, and communication skills.
7. Relevant Work Experience
The committee may evaluate the length and quality of experience, particularly:
โ Work experience after acquiring the essential qualification.
โ Industry, government, or academic research experience.
โ Contributions to national or international research projects.
8. Consideration of Experience Even When Not Specifically Mentioned
In some cases, even if experience is not mentioned as an essential or desirable qualification, the committee may still use it as a selection criterion. Candidates with significant work experience in a relevant area may get shortlisted even if experience was not explicitly required in the advertisement.
9. Additional Methodologies as Deemed Fit
The Screening Committee has the authority to introduce additional screening methodologies based on the specific job role, applications received, and the needs of the organization. This ensures a fair and competitive selection process.
