Things to check before publishing: 1. **No application method.** The notice doesn't say how to apply, so I left out the "How to Apply" section rather than make up steps. The title still says "Apply Online" because that's the default. Please check the recruitment page and change the title if applications go by post or email. 2. **No last date or Important Dates.** It's a rolling advertisement with no last date, fee or selection process. One sentence under the first table says so, and the Application Fee, Important Dates and Selection Process sections are left out. 3. **"CSIR-IMTECH" short name.** The notice only prints "CSIR-Institute of Microbial Technology". The "IMTECH" short form comes from the website address.
