Combined total: 174 posts. The two tables above sum to 140 + 34 = 174. The advertisements call the numbers purely indicative — they may increase or decrease with project requirements and the availability of suitable candidates, subject to approval of the Competent Authority. Neither advertisement gives a category-wise (UR / SC / ST / OBC / EWS) vacancy split, so no reservation break-up is shown here.

How the fee is paid. The fee of Rs 100 is payable online on the recruitment application portal. The advertisements state no category-wise fee and no exemption for any category, and the fee paid is not refunded under any circumstances.

Documents to carry for verification. The online application form, date-of-birth proof, photo ID proof (Aadhaar card, PAN card, Voter ID or Driving Licence), passport-size photograph, 10th standard mark sheet, 12th standard mark sheet (as applicable), ITI (NTC) mark sheet and NAC certificate (for Project Technical Assistant posts), the qualifying-exam passing certificate with marks for all years, the experience certificate (duly signed and stamped) as applicable, and the caste, OBC-NCL, disability or discharge certificate if age relaxation is claimed. Candidates already employed must submit a relieving letter at the time of joining.
SAMEER Exam Pattern 2026
The notification gives no exam pattern table. It does not state the number of questions, the marks, the duration or any negative-marking rule for the written test, so no such figures are given here. What the advertisements do state is this: the written test, where prescribed, may be conducted online through CBT or in person; candidates securing 50% marks or above qualify for the next stage, subject to the shortlisting criteria; and the syllabus follows the general curriculum/syllabus of government-run universities and colleges prescribed for the particular engineering, science or graduate course for the post advertised.
SAMEER Selection Process 2026
Stage 1 – Screening on minimum academic qualification. Marks in the prescribed qualifying degree, diploma or ITI are considered, and the candidate must have secured the prescribed minimum of 55% marks or equivalent CGPA, unless otherwise specified.
Stage 2 – Written test (where prescribed). The written test may be conducted online through CBT or in person. Candidates securing 50% marks or above qualify for consideration for the subsequent stage, subject to the shortlisting criteria.
Stage 3 – Interviews and skill test. Candidates are shortlisted for the online interview on merit at the preceding stage, ordinarily in the ratio of 1:6 or more against the advertised vacancies. The in-person interview is mandatory for selection, with shortlisting ordinarily in the ratio of 1:3 or more. For Project Scientific and Technical Assistant posts, either an in-person interview or a skill test/interaction is conducted. Final selection is based on in-person interview and/or skill test-interaction marks only.
| Category | Posts | Selection Stages |
|---|---|---|
| CAT-A | Project Engineers / Associates, Senior Project Engineers / Associates | Written Test + Online Interview + In-person Interview |
| CAT-B | Project Fellow, Project Manager, Project Scientist, Senior Project Scientist, Project Executive, Senior Project Executive | Online Interview + In-person Interview (no written test) |
| CAT-C | Project Scientific Assistants | Written Test + In-person Interview and/or Skill Test |
| CAT-D | Project Technical Assistants, Project Executive Assistants (A)/(B) | Written Test + In-person Interview and/or Skill Test |
Conditions that can end a candidature. Mere possession of the qualification does not confer any right to be called for a test or interview, and mere appearance at any stage does not confer any right to selection. Furnishing false or incorrect information, suppressing material facts or submitting false or forged documents can lead to cancellation or termination. Canvassing in any form is a disqualification. No TA/DA is admissible for the written test, skill test, online interview or in-person interview. Selected candidates who decline or fail to join after receiving the offer of appointment will not be considered for contractual appointment in SAMEER for the subsequent two years. The panel of recommended candidates ordinarily remains valid for one year from the date of the interview or skill test.
SAMEER Salary 2026
Selected candidates are paid a consolidated remuneration per month — this is not a pay scale or pay level, and the advertisements mention no dearness allowance, house rent allowance or any other allowance. The fixed monthly figures are: Project Fellow Rs 55,000; Senior Project Scientist Rs 46,000; Project Manager Rs 45,000; Project Scientist and Senior Project Executive Rs 40,000; Senior Project Engineer / Associate Rs 37,500; Project Engineer / Associate Rs 34,000; Project Executive Rs 32,000; Project Scientific Assistant (C) Rs 31,500, (B) Rs 27,000 and (A) Rs 23,500; Project Technical Assistant (C) Rs 27,000, (B) Rs 23,500 and (A) Rs 21,000; and Project Executive Assistant (B) Rs 27,000 and (A) Rs 23,500. The advertisements publish no exact in-hand figure, so in-hand amounts on unofficial websites are estimates — the only certain figure is the consolidated pay printed above. Experience beyond the prescribed period earns no additional increment. Engineering graduates can also read our NLC India GET Recruitment 2026 guide.
