CSIR-NAL Multi-Tasking Staff Recruitment 2026 is out — CSIR-National Aerospace Laboratories, Bengaluru, has released Advertisement No. 11/2026 dated 12 August 2026 for 6 Multi-Tasking Staff vacancies. Is this notification out? Yes — applications opened 12 August 2026 at 9:00 AM, giving SSC/10th-pass candidates a route into one of India's premier aerospace research laboratories under CSIR. Selected candidates will be posted at CSIR-NAL, Bengaluru, though the post carries All India Service Liability, meaning transfer to any CSIR laboratory across India is possible. The selection process for CSIR-NAL MTS 2026 is a single OMR-based Objective Type Multiple Choice Competitive Written Examination — 150 questions across General Intelligence, Quantitative Aptitude, General Awareness, and English Language, conducted only in Bengaluru, with 3 marks per correct answer and 1 mark deducted per wrong answer. The salary is Pay Level-01, ₹18,000 to ₹56,900 per month, plus standard central government allowances. The CSIR-NAL MTS 2026 application must be submitted only in physical hard-copy form via Speed Post or Courier — there is no online, email, or hand-delivery option.

Candidates must read the complete official Advt No. 11/2026 notification PDF before applying, since the application must be sent to a specific postal address and CSIR-NAL will not be responsible for postal delays.

SSC/10th Standard pass from a recognised Board or Institution — this is the sole essential educational qualification prescribed for the Multi-Tasking Staff (MTS) post. No additional technical certificate, diploma, or ITI qualification is required or preferred. The prescribed qualification represents only the minimum eligibility threshold; mere possession of this qualification does not entitle a candidate to be called for the written examination, since selection proceeds through a competitive OMR-based test against the fixed number of vacancies.
