🌾 ICAR-IARI Division of Biochemistry JRF & YP-II Recruitment 2026 | Walk-in 6 October

⚠️ Date Discrepancy in the Official Notice: The results table in the notice mistakenly shows "Interview on 29th December, 2025" — a date already in the past. The notice's own opening paragraph clearly states the interview is on 6 October 2026, which is the date used throughout this page. The 2025 date appears to be a leftover from a recycled template.
ℹ️ No Reporting Time Specified: Unlike most walk-in notices, this one gives only the date (6 October 2026) — no clock time is mentioned. Confirm the exact reporting time by emailing ranjeetranjaniari@gmail.com before you travel.
