IISER Pune Counsellor Recruitment 2026 (4 Posts), Walk-in Interview on 16 September 2026 in Maharashtra. Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Pune (IISER Pune) has released Advertisement No. 75/2026 inviting candidates to a walk-in interview for 4 posts of Counsellor (Full-Time) and Counsellor (Part-Time). This IISER Pune job 2026 opportunity is for candidates holding a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology with substantial prior counselling experience. Eligible candidates who meet the qualification and age criteria below can attend the walk-in interview at the IISER Pune campus. IISER Pune is one of the founding Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research, integrating research and teaching in basic sciences on its campus in Pune. Like many science and technology institutes strengthening student wellness infrastructure, IISER Pune periodically hires Counsellors on a contractual basis to support students through academic pressure, personal difficulties, and general mental health needs, and the split between Full-Time and Part-Time posts allows the institute to flexibly scale counselling capacity to match campus demand across the academic year. Given the walk-in is scheduled for 16 September, well within the current week, interested candidates should double-check the exact venue address and any last-minute updates directly on the official notification PDF before travelling to the campus for the interview. Candidates who cannot attend in person should still check whether the notification allows any alternate submission route, since walk-in-only recruitment sometimes leaves no fallback option for those unable to travel on the scheduled date. Selected Counsellors will provide student mental-health and counselling support at IISER Pune's campus in Pune. The IISER Pune 2026 selection process consists of a Walk-in Interview followed by Document Verification, with no separate written test conducted for this role. The remuneration for IISER Pune Counsellor 2026 is a starting ₹88,650 per month for the Full-Time post, with Part-Time pay calculated proportionately to time commitment and responsibilities. Candidates should attend the IISER Pune Counsellor 2026 walk-in interview at the IISER Pune campus, reporting by 09:00 AM on 16 September 2026. No application fee has been mentioned in the notification. Candidates must read the complete official IISER Pune notification PDF before applying, since this walk-in is scheduled only 6 days from the notification's most recent update, giving interested candidates a narrow preparation window.
