possible to call all candidates for interview. Hence, India Meteorological Department (IMD) may restrict the number of candidates to be
called for interview before Selection Board to the reasonable limit through screening process.
The criteria for screening of the applications will be based on candidates qualifying credentials against:
i) The essential requirements specified above,
ii) Date of birth,
iii) Completeness of the application in terms of providing accurate details and submission of the passport size photograph, and
copies of the marks list, academic and experience certificates, signature,
iv) Essential experience,
v) Desirable qualification and experience as specified above,
vi) Consistent academic performance at one or more levels etc. The candidates experience certificates should clearly specify
whether they possess the experience / knowledge / skills / technology / software platform requested in the essential / desirable
experience requirements against the post. The benchmark for screening the applications will be set by a committee constituted to
screen the applications. The final selection of the Screened in candidate will be based on the candidate’s performance before the
Selection Board. No correspondence will be entertained with candidates who are not called for interview/selected for
appointment.

General Conditions:
• Candidates are required to apply ONLINE. No other means/mode of application will be accepted.
• Online application form & details of the advertisement is available at https://mausam.imd.gov.in/ in Recruitment section.
• The candidate’s age should not exceed the age limit mentioned above as on date of closure of application. Experience will be
counted from the date of acquiring the essential academic qualifications.

General Conditions: -

Nationality : Only Indian nationals are eligible.

Reservation : Relaxation in age and experience for SC/ST/OBC candidates will be as per GOI Rule.
Age limit : As on normal closing date ofsubmission of application for recruitment advertised.

How to apply:
i) The candidates can apply for more than one post.
ii) On-line Application as per the Performa should be submitted up to 09.10.2022
iii) Copies of certificates (self-attested) in support of educational qualification (10th Class Onwards), date of birth and experience, if
any, should be uploaded with the application.
iv) SC/ST/OBC certificate, if applicable, as per the prescribed format, should be uploaded with the application.
v) Applicants are also required to bring original certificates/documents for verification at the time of interview.
 vi) The number of posts to be filled may vary. The Department reserves the right to cancel the recruitment without assigning any
reason.
vii) No correspondence will be entertained from the candidates who are not selected for appointment.

CANVASSING, IN ANY FORM, WILL RESULT IN DISQULIFICATION OF CANDIDATURE

Selection Process:
The prescribed essential qualifications are minimum requirements and the mere possession of the same does not entitle candidates to
be called for interview. If the numbers of applications, received in response to advertisement are large, it will not be convenient or
possible to call all candidates for interview. Hence, India Meteorological Department (IMD) may restrict the number of candidates to be
called for interview before Selection Board to the reasonable limit through screening process.
The criteria for screening of the applications will be based on candidates qualifying credentials against:
i) The essential requirements specified above,
ii) Date of birth,
iii) Completeness of the application in terms of providing accurate details and submission of the passport size photograph, and
copies of the marks list, academic and experience certificates, signature,
iv) Essential experience,
v) Desirable qualification and experience as specified above,
vi) Consistent academic performance at one or more levels etc. The candidates experience certificates should clearly specify
whether they possess the experience / knowledge / skills / technology / software platform requested in the essential / desirable
experience requirements against the post. The benchmark for screening the applications will be set by a committee constituted to
screen the applications. The final selection of the Screened in candidate will be based on the candidate’s performance before the
Selection Board. No correspondence will be entertained with candidates who are not called for interview/selected for
appointment.

General Conditions:
 Candidates are required to apply ONLINE. No other means/mode of application will be accepted.
 Online application form & details of the advertisement is available at https://mausam.imd.gov.in/ in Recruitment section.
 The candidate’s age should not exceed the age limit mentioned above as on date of closure of application. Experience will be
counted from the date of acquiring the essential academic qualifications.
 The experience, relevant to the requirement of job or research or teaching will only be considered towards the total period of
experience.
 Doctorate degree in the relevant field will count as 3 years of experience.
 IMD reserves the right to cancel the recruitment process without assigning any reason thereof or vary the number of posts to
be filled.
 Travel: No TA will be paid for attending the Selection/Interview.
 IMD will not be responsible for any other arrangements.
  The names of candidates screened-in for interview before Selection Committee will be displayed at India Meteorological
Department website.

Application Procedure:
 The entire application procedure is made online.
 Copies of certificates in support of educational qualifications, date of birth, experience, no objection certificates (from present
employer, if working), scanned signatures, passport size photograph, etc. should be uploaded during the online application
process. Passport size Photograph, Signature should be in .jpg format with file size limit between 10KB to 100KB; remaining
all certificates should be in .pdf format of each file less than 500 KB. Candidates are advised to be ready with all individual
scanned documents of their certificates of educational & professional qualifications, marks memos, reservation certificate, if
applicable, proof of date of birth, experience certificates, no objection certificates, scanned signature, passport size
photograph etc. before starting filling up of the online application. Production of the original certificates is must while
appearing for Interview. Applications submitted without the scanned copies of the relevant certificates, signature and
passport size photograph will be rejected in the screening process itself. The certificates uploaded should be clearly visible
and readable.
 Any discrepancies found in the certificates or uploading of wrong certificates will attract the disqualification of applications.
Nonproduction of the original certificates will also make the candidate disqualified. The disqualified candidates will not be
allowed for Interview. Candidates currently working in any other organization need to provide the proof of their current
employment with a service certificate from the employer / latest pay slip, etc. Appointment orders /resumes will not be
considered as proof of current employment. In addition, the experience certificates should clearly show the date of joining
and date of resignation. In case the screening committee is unable to get the documentary evidence for the number of years
of experience claimed by the candidate such periods of experience will be considered as NIL.
 The candidates, if any, presently working in Central Govt. /State Govt. / PSUs/Autonomous Bodies/University etc. are
required to provide No Objection/cadre clearance from current employer at the time of interview. The current employer will
also certify their Vigilance Clearance and Integrity.
 Incomplete applications in any respect are liable to be rejected summarily. No representation against such rejection will be
entertained.
 Canvassing in any form will be a disqualification.

Note: Candidate should not have any type of conviction in the court anywhere in India.
