The Hassanur Forest Division, Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve, Erode District, Tamil Nadu, has invited applications for 1 post of Junior Research Fellow (JRF) on a contractual basis under the Comprehensive Human-Wildlife Conflict Mitigation Scheme.

How this post was verified — please read

The official Erode district homepage lists this notice in its "WHAT'S NEW" section — "Post of Junior Research Fellow (JRF) on a contractual basis under the Comprehensive Human-Wildlife Conflict Mitigation Scheme — 13.11.2026" — confirming the notice exists on the official site. The detailed figures below rest on two independent aggregators (FreeJobAlert and sarkari-naukri.in) agreeing exactly on every figure, because the notice page itself would not load from here. The post count of 1 also rests on that consensus: FreeJobAlert's own article is internally inconsistent on it, its summary saying "1 Posts" while its glance table says the notification does not specify the number of vacancies. The count is carried as 1 with this basis stated, not as read from the notice.

Qualification — not established, do not guess

The qualification for this post was NOT established from any source read for this post — neither aggregator snippet carried it, and the notice PDF itself was not read. This post therefore states the qualification as "as per the official notification" and candidates must read the official notice on erode.nic.in before applying. No qualification has been invented.

Pay, tenure and age

Pay is Rs. 25,000 per month. The engagement is purely contractual and temporary, with an initial tenure of 1 year, extendable on project requirements and satisfactory performance. Age must not be above 35 years as on 01.11.2026. Applicants should preferably be residents of Tamil Nadu. No application fee is stated anywhere.

How to apply

Apply by email to dfohsn@gmail.com (application in PDF format), or by post or in person to the Deputy Director and District Forest Officer, Hassanur Forest Division, Hassanur – 638 401, Erode District, using the prescribed application format available on erode.nic.in. Last date is 1 December 2026, 05:45 PM.

A different notice, not this one

A separate Tamil Nadu Forest Department JRF notice for the same Hassanur Division — same post name and the same 1 December 2026, 05:45 PM deadline, but with no pay, age or fee stated and postal applications in a model form — is a different notice and is published as a separate post. Do not mix the two up.
