• Working knowledge of laminar hoods, bio-safety cabinets, and molecular biology methods like RT-PCR, Western blotting, and gene silencing
• Comfort operating inverted microscopes, CO2 incubators, and cell counters
• Understanding of laboratory safety and quality assurance protocols
• Proficiency in MS Word, Excel, and general computer productivity tools

If your CV already reflects most of these, you’re in a strong position for this role.

✅ Age relaxation will be applied strictly as per Government of India guidelines for eligible categories.

BRIC NIAB Technical Officer Salary 2026

The post carries Pay Level-6 of the 7th CPC pay matrix, which starts at a basic pay of roughly ₹35,400 per month. On top of this, selected candidates get the usual central government allowances — Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA), and Transport Allowance (TA) — as applicable to employees posted in Hyderabad, Telangana. Your actual in-hand salary will depend on current DA rates and your HRA city classification, so treat the basic pay figure as your starting reference point rather than the final take-home number.

Selection Process

NIAB will shortlist and select the Technical Officer through the following stages:

2. Written Test — Only shortlisted candidates get called for this stage.
3. Skill Test — The competent authority may also call candidates for a practical skill test, given the hands-on laboratory nature of the role.
