Who Can Apply for IPR Scientific Posts?
If you hold a higher degree than the one asked for, you will be treated as over-qualified. For example, M.Tech or Ph.D. holders cannot apply for PSO, and B.E./B.Tech or M.Sc. holders cannot apply for PSA. Check your marks carefully — the percentage cut-off is strict. Keep your certificates ready before you start filling the form. You can scan documents clearly using our GATE photo resizer if your file size is too big.
Selection Process — IPR Project Scientific Officer & Assistant 2026
IPR first screens all applications. For Scientific Officer and Scientific Assistant posts, shortlisted candidates may face a written screening test if a large number of people apply. Those who clear it move to the interview round, and the final merit list is built on interview marks alone. Administrative Staff applicants write a written exam and then clear a qualifying computer skill test. At the last stage, IPR checks your original marksheets, diploma or degree certificates, and caste papers during document verification.
