Haryana Police FSL Recruitment 2026: 20 Scientific & Support Staff Posts in DNA Division, No Fee, No Written Exam

The Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL), Haryana, Madhuban has released a notification that will interest a very specific set of candidates — science graduates with forensic DNA casework experience, and 10th pass candidates looking for a government laboratory job. Under Advertisement No. 12907/26, the laboratory is engaging 20 people on a contractual basis in its DNA Division: Senior Scientific Officer, Senior Scientific Assistant, Scientific Assistant, and Lab Attendant.

What makes this notification stand out is what it does not have. There is no written examination, and there is no application fee. Selection is based on screening of applications, academic merit, and a personal interview. For candidates who have spent years building DNA casework experience, that is good news — your record, not a single exam day, decides your shortlisting.

Eligibility – Qualification and Experience

The scientific posts follow a clear experience ladder. The higher the post, the more DNA casework experience it demands:

Post Name	Qualification	Experience Required
Senior Scientific Officer (DNA)	M.Sc. (1st Division) or Ph.D. in a relevant science subject, with Zoology/Botany at B.Sc. level	5 years casework experience in Forensic DNA
Senior Scientific Assistant (DNA)	M.Sc. (1st Division) or Ph.D. in a relevant science subject, with Zoology/Botany at B.Sc. level	3 years casework experience in Forensic DNA
Scientific Assistant (DNA)	M.Sc. (at least 2nd Division) in a relevant science subject, with Zoology/Botany at B.Sc. level	1 year casework experience in Forensic DNA
Lab Attendant (DNA Division)	10th pass (12th with Science preferred)	Not specified

Two points here are worth understanding properly. First, Zoology or Botany at B.Sc. level is a compulsory part of the qualification for all three scientific posts — a science degree in an unrelated subject will not satisfy it. Second, the casework experience must be in forensic DNA specifically. General laboratory experience, however long, is not a substitute. Fresh M.Sc. holders without DNA casework cannot apply for the scientific posts, but the Lab Attendant post keeps the door open for 10th pass candidates.

Age Limit (as on 10 November 2026)

Post Name	Age Limit
Lab Attendant	18–40 years
Scientific Assistant	21–40 years
Senior Scientific Assistant	21–45 years
Senior Scientific Officer	21–50 years

Age relaxation is applicable as per Haryana Government rules. The upper age limit of 50 years for Senior Scientific Officer is unusually generous, and it is clearly designed to attract senior, experienced forensic scientists rather than freshers.

Selection Process – No Written Exam

There is no written examination in this recruitment. The selection process is:

1. Screening of applications based on qualifications and experience
2. Shortlisting based on 12th, Bachelor’s, and Master’s marks (if required)
3. Personal interview at FSL, Madhuban, Karnal
4. Document verification
5. Medical fitness examination

This is the part candidates should prepare for most carefully. Since there is no exam to compensate for a weak academic record, your marks from 12th onwards and your documented casework experience carry the full weight of shortlisting. Keep your experience certificates, mark sheets, and academic record ready and in order — the interview panel will go through them.

The shortlist will be displayed on 01 December 2026, and interviews are scheduled for 08–09 December 2026. That is a fast timeline — barely three weeks between the last date of application and the shortlist — so candidates should not wait until the last day to post their forms.
