KVIC Young Professional 2026 — 30 Posts, Apply Online by 30 Oct

KVIC Young Professional Recruitment 2026 is open for 30 contractual positions, and online applications close on 30 October 2026. The Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC), the statutory body under the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) that promotes khadi and rural industries across India, has issued three separate zonal notifications — 10 posts each in the West Zone (Mumbai), North Zone (New Delhi) and East Zone (Kolkata). The disciplines are Khadi (8), Legal (6), Audit (5), Admin/Admin & HR (4), Accounts (3), Village Industries (3) and General (1), making this a niche central government opportunity for postgraduates under 27. Young Professionals provide professional support to KVIC offices — data analysis, project management, evaluation of schemes such as khadi and village industry programmes, feasibility studies, compliance supervision, training and implementation monitoring. Postings are at KVIC Zonal and State Offices including Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Goa, New Delhi, Jaipur, Ambala, Chandigarh, Bikaner, Shimla, Jammu, Kolkata, Patna, Bhubaneswar and Ranchi. Remuneration is ₹25,000 to ₹30,000 per month plus ₹2,500 to ₹3,000 conveyance, for a one-year contract extendable by two more years. Selection is by shortlisting on qualification and experience followed by a personal interview — during October 2026 in the North Zone, November 2026 in the West Zone, and as scheduled in the East Zone. To apply for KVIC Young Professional 2026, open the Vacancies section on kvic.gov.in, select the zonal advertisement, and register on the KVIC online recruitment portal at apps.kvic.gov.in. The last date to apply online is 30 October 2026, though the East Zone notice states 00:00 hours while the West and North Zone notices state 23:59 hours, so East Zone applicants should submit by 29 October.
