The CSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute (CSIR-CFTRI), Mysuru, has announced a recruitment drive for 28 Technician posts in 2026. Candidates who have passed Class 10 with Science subjects and meet the prescribed technical qualification requirements can apply online.

This recruitment could be worth considering for candidates looking for a technical government job without requiring a university degree. However, passing Class 10 alone is not sufficient for every applicant, as candidates must also meet the specified ITI, apprenticeship or relevant experience requirements for their chosen trade.
Applicants should check the official notification carefully, particularly the age limit, application fee exemptions and document submission rules. Completing the online application is only part of the process, as candidates must also send a signed hard copy within the prescribed deadline.

According to the recruitment details, candidates generally need to have passed Class 10 or an equivalent examination with Science subjects and at least 55% marks.

The age limit is generally 18 to 28 years, calculated as specified in the official notification. Applicable age relaxation is available for eligible categories under government rules.
The posts fall under Pay Level 2, with a salary scale of ₹19,900 to ₹63,200. The actual monthly earnings will depend on applicable allowances and other service conditions.
The application fee is ₹500 for candidates required to pay it. Women candidates, Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD), ex-servicemen and eligible departmental candidates are exempt from the fee under the recruitment rules.
The selection process includes a trade test and a competitive written examination. Candidates should prepare according to the prescribed requirements for their chosen trade and follow the official recruitment notices for examination updates.
Eligible applicants must complete the online form through the official CSIR-CFTRI recruitment portal by 18 November 2026, at 11:59 pm. After submitting the form, candidates must download and print the completed application, sign it and attach the required supporting documents.
The signed hard copy must reach the institute by 26 November 2026. Applicants should follow the address and submission instructions stated in the official notification; failing to send the required documents may affect their candidature.
