ISM Executive Assistant Recruitment 2026 — 2 posts

The India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) — not to be confused with IIT (ISM) Dhanbad — is an independent business division within Digital India Corporation, set up by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. ISM has invited applications for two posts of Executive Assistant at New Delhi, on a purely contractual and consolidated basis. The web advertisement is dated 2 November 2026, and the last date for submission is 16 November 2026.

A note on the source of the details below

The post, the count of two positions, the advertisement date and the last date are confirmed from ISM's own career page, which lists this vacancy in its table. The official job description PDF could not be read from here — it returned an access error — so the eligibility, experience, reporting and terms below rest on a full transcription of that official PDF, and are presented on that basis rather than as text read from the PDF itself.

Who can apply

The essential qualification is a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Management, Public Administration or any relevant discipline from a recognised university. A Post Graduate degree or diploma in the same fields, or professional certification or training in office management or secretarial practices, is desirable. The minimum experience is four years after the qualifying degree for a Bachelor's degree holder, or two years for a Master's degree holder; PhD experience may be counted as relevant work experience depending on the field and relevance. Relaxation in the prescribed experience may be considered for candidates from top-ranking colleges or universities in the relevant discipline, as per the NIRF 2025 ranking or the latest available ranking. Relevant experience is in executive assistance, secretarial support or office management, preferably supporting senior leadership in Government, public sector undertakings, autonomous bodies or corporate organisations.

The role

The Executive Assistant reports to the Advisor (Technology) or the Chief Financial Officer and provides administrative and operational support to senior leadership: managing schedules, coordinating meetings, handling confidential documents, facilitating communication, maintaining calendars, appointments and travel, preparing correspondence, reports, presentations and official documents, taking meeting agendas and minutes, coordinating with departments and stakeholders, following up on action points, drafting official communications, maintaining confidential records, organising official events and monitoring deadlines — with the highest confidentiality throughout.

Terms, pay and age

The engagement is purely on a contract or consolidated basis and temporary for the ISM project; appointees have no right or claim to permanent appointment at ISM or on any vacancy existing or advertised in future. No pay figure is specified in the notice, so no salary is shown in this post. The notice says the applicant's age as on the last date of receipt will be considered, but no age-limit figure is stated, so no age limit is shown either. No application fee is specified in the notice, so no fee is shown in this post.

How to apply

Apply online through the Apply link on ISM's career page, which opens the application form for this post. Candidates already in regular or contractual employment under the Central or State Government, public sector undertakings or autonomous bodies are expected to apply through the proper channel or attach a No Objection Certificate, or produce it at the time of interview. Screening is on qualifications and relevant experience, and ISM may fix a higher threshold to limit the number called for interview; only shortlisted candidates will be invited for interviews. No interview date is given in the notice.
