The Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) has released a list of 194 candidates to be interviewed for filling 14 Scientist-D category posts through lateral recruitment in the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD). These vacancies have not been reported to the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) or Staff Selection Commission (SSC).
The MoES had recruited as many as 55 senior scientists to the IMD through videoconferencing during the time of COVID-19 in 2021.
The notice issued by the Ministry says the candidates have been screened for the interview to be conducted for recruitment of Scientist-D in the stream ‘Weather Forecasting’ in the IMD. Though the interview was first scheduled for January 31, 2023 it was postponed later.
