ICMR Section Officer Recruitment 2026 – 47 Vacancies on Deputation

So, the Indian Council of Medical Research has dropped a new notification for Section Officer posts. And this time, it's not a regular recruitment — it's on deputation basis. That means if you're already working in the central or state government, you can apply for this one.

There are 47 vacancies in total, and the pay scale is pretty solid at Pay Level 7 — that's Rs. 44,900 to 1,42,400 per month. The posting will be at ICMR HQ in New Delhi. The last date to submit your application is 05 September 2026, so don't wait till the last moment.

One important thing — this is strictly for government employees. If you're not in a government job right now, this one's not for you. Only officers from Central/State Government, Autonomous Bodies, or PSUs who are holding an analogous post, or Assistants in Level-6 and 7 with at least 5 years of regular service can apply.
