National Test House Recruitment 2026: Check 36 Young Professional vacancies, salary, eligibility, closed status and latest October notice.
The National Test House (NTH), under the Department of Consumer Affairs, Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution, Government of India, issued Advertisement No. NTH(HQ)/YP/ADVT./01/2026-27 for engagement of 36 Senior and Junior Young Professionals across its laboratories and regional offices, including Guwahati. The engagement was contractual, not a regular permanent government appointment.
Latest status as of 12 November 2026: The application window for the 36-post Young Professional recruitment closed in September 2026. The official NTH recruitment archive also lists a separate Young Professional advertisement published in Employment News dated 24–30 October 2026 for 3 Junior Young Professional posts at Ghaziabad, Ujjain and Jalandhar. That is a separate, later notice and should not be confused with the earlier 36-post recruitment. Its notice says applications must reach NTH within 15 days of publication; candidates should check the official notice for the exact applicable deadline. Do not use the old 36-post application details for this later drive.

The September 2026 recruitment covered 14 Senior Young Professional posts and 22 Junior Young Professional posts across technical and management disciplines. The vacancy distribution was spread across NTH locations and was subject to the requirements stated in the detailed advertisement.
The Junior YP disciplines included Chemical, Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, Microbiology, RPPT, Information Technology, Aerospace/Drone and support for the Drone Certification Scheme for Unmanned Aircraft Systems. The detailed advertisement specifies the location-wise distribution and discipline requirements.
Eligibility varied by discipline. Candidates were required to hold the relevant graduate, postgraduate, engineering or management qualification specified for the particular Young Professional role.
Senior YP roles generally required the relevant BE/B.Tech, M.Sc., postgraduate diploma or MBA qualification depending on the discipline, along with at least three years of relevant experience. For technical roles, the experience was generally expected to be in the corresponding testing laboratory or specialised field.
Junior YP roles generally required a relevant BE/B.Tech or M.Sc. qualification, with at least one year of relevant experience in a testing laboratory where specified. The exact degree, subject and experience requirements varied by discipline. Applicants must consult the original notification for the exact criteria.
The maximum age prescribed in the September advertisement was 38 years for Senior Young Professional and 35 years for Junior Young Professional, calculated on the last date of application. Applicable category relaxations, if any, were governed by the notification and Government of India rules.
| Position | Consolidated monthly remuneration |
|---|---|
| Senior Young Professional | ₹70,000 |
| Junior Young Professional | ₹40,000 |
The advertisement provided for an annual increase of ₹5,000 on extension of tenure, subject to the terms and satisfactory performance. The engagement was initially for one year and could be extended up to a maximum of four years under the conditions in the notification. No TA/DA was admissible for the selection process, joining or completion of the assignment.
The September recruitment required candidates to apply by email using the prescribed application format. Applicants had to attach documentary proof of qualifications and experience along with an updated CV. Applications were to be sent only to the designated email address for the location/post applied for. NTH specifically warned that applications sent to an incorrect email address would be rejected.
