ICAR CMFRI Recruitment 2026: Walk-in for 4 Young Professional & Field Assistant Posts in Veraval on 23 November

The Veraval Regional Station of the ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), Gujarat, will hold a walk-in interview on 23 November 2026 at 10:00 AM for 4 temporary posts — 2 Young Professional-I and 2 Field Assistant — under the project on mesopelagic fish resources off the Gujarat coast. The monthly pay is Rs. 30,000 for Young Professional-I and Rs. 15,000 for Field Assistant, both consolidated.

The first thing to understand is that this is a walk-in, not a postal application. There is no form to post and no last date to post by. You have to be at Veraval on 23 November by 10:00 AM with the filled application form and your original certificates, or you are out — latecomers may not be permitted to participate in the interview. Book your travel now; Veraval is in Gir Somnath district, and a same-day dash from far away is not a plan.

The second trap is mixing this notice up with the other CMFRI walk-ins this month. CMFRI has separate walk-ins at Kochi (26 November) and Visakhapatnam (30 November) for different posts under different advertisements. This one is Veraval only, under Advt. F.No.2-72/2026/VRL dated 03 November 2026. Check the advertisement number on anything you read — if it does not say 2-72/2026/VRL, it is not this recruitment.

The third point is the nature of the job itself. Both posts are purely temporary and co-terminus with the project. The selected candidates will have no claim for regular appointment in ICAR-CMFRI or ICAR, and no TA or DA is paid for attending the walk-in interview. Go for the project experience and the pay, not for a permanent government job.

ICAR CMFRI Veraval Vacancy Details 2026

Who Can Apply

Young Professional-I (2 posts): A B.F.Sc. or B.Sc. degree in Zoology, Life Science, Oceanography or Statistics with minimum 60% marks or an equivalent overall grade point. Desirable experience includes deep-sea fish taxonomy, data analytics, fish biology, oceanographic analysis and sea-going research, familiarity with on-board activities and data collection during sea-going operations, the ability to work in field and marine environments, and a willingness to undertake sea-going and field duties as the project requires.

Field Assistant (2 posts): 10th pass. Desirable experience includes on-board experience, seaworthiness, knowledge of fishing practices and fishing operations, local knowledge about fishery resources, and proficiency in the Gujarati language. The Gujarati point matters in practice — much of the field work is with local fishing communities around Veraval, so a candidate who cannot speak Gujarati will struggle even if the degree of the other post is not needed here.
