Is ICAR IISWC Recruitment 2026 out? Yes — candidates can attend the walk-in interview scheduled for 1 September 2026 at the ICAR-IISWC campus in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. The Senior Research Fellow post requires a postgraduate degree in Soil and Water Conservation Engineering, Land and Water Resources Engineering, Irrigation and Drainage Engineering, Water Resources, Remote Sensing and GIS, or Civil Engineering with specialization in Hydrology/Hydraulics, along with NET/GATE qualification and 2 years of research experience — this post carries a stipend of ₹42,000 per month plus HRA, with a maximum age of 35 years for men and 40 years for women.

Selection is through Walk-in Interview only, with no separate written test. Candidates must report at ICAR-IISWC, Dehradun, Pin Code 248195, on 1 September 2026 with all original documents and self-attested photocopies, including degree certificates, NET/GATE scorecard where applicable, experience certificates, and category certificate.

Required Documents: candidates should carry original and self-attested photocopies of their relevant degree certificates, NET/GATE scorecard where applicable, experience certificates for the SRF post, a valid photo ID, category certificate for age relaxation, and recent passport-size photographs. ICAR-IISWC is a national institute under ICAR dedicated to soil and water conservation research, and both posts support ongoing hydrology, GIS, and conservation engineering research projects at the Dehradun campus. Since this walk-in covers two distinct posts with different qualification tracks, candidates should confirm which specific post they are eligible for before attending. Since ICAR-IISWC advertises these two posts under a single combined walk-in, candidates should arrive with a clear understanding of which qualification track applies to them to avoid confusion at document scrutiny. Candidates already holding NET or GATE qualifications in relevant engineering disciplines are especially encouraged to apply for the Senior Research Fellow post given its research-focused profile. Candidates should also check for any updates or corrigenda on the official ICAR-IISWC website before the interview date. This helps avoid any last-minute surprises regarding venue or timing changes.
