1. Introduction - From a Tripura Aspirant’s View

If you are a government job aspirant from Tripura, especially from Agartala, Udaipur, Dharmanagar, Kailashahar or rural areas, you already know one reality - good central government opportunities are limited locally. Most major recruitments happen outside the state, and candidates from Tripura often hesitate to apply because of distance, lack of guidance, and fear of competition.

The CSIR-CLRI Recruitment 2026 is an important opening for Tripura candidates because:

• It requires only 10th or 12th qualification
• No graduation is needed
• Posts like MTS and Junior Secretariat Assistant are stable government jobs
• Selection is through written exam and skill tests - not interviews

For many Tripura youth who have completed HS (+2) from TBSE or a local school but could not pursue higher studies, this is a realistic chance to enter a permanent central government job.

2. Key Details at a Glance

3. Post-Wise Eligibility - Practical Explanation for Tripura Students

Many Tripura candidates get confused by official language like “equivalent qualification”. Let me simplify it clearly.

(A) Junior Stenographer - 1 Post

• Qualification: 12th Pass
• Skill Needed: Stenography proficiency
• Suitable For: Candidates from Tripura who have completed stenography courses from ITI Agartala or private institutes.

If you have NOT learned shorthand typing, avoid this post.

(B) Junior Secretariat Assistant (JSA) - 6 Posts

• Qualification: 12th Pass
• Must know computer typing and basic computer usage

This is a very good option for Tripura students who:

• Studied in English or Bengali medium
• Know basic MS Office
• Have typing practice from cyber cafes or coaching centers

(C) Multi-Tasking Staff (MTS) - 6 Posts

• Qualification: 10th Pass
• No typing or advanced skills required

This is the best option for rural Tripura candidates who only completed Madhyamik (10th) and are looking for a stable government job.

4. Who in Tripura Should Apply - And Who Should Avoid

You SHOULD apply if:

• You are a 10th or 12th pass candidate from Tripura
• Preparing for SSC CHSL / MTS type exams
• Comfortable relocating outside Tripura
• Want a secure central government job
• Struggling to find state government vacancies

You SHOULD AVOID if:

• You cannot leave Tripura for posting
• You are looking only for Agartala-based jobs
• You do not have basic computer knowledge (for JSA posts)
• You already have a higher-level government job

Remember - these posts are central government jobs, not Tripura state government jobs. Posting will mostly be outside the state.

5. Salary & Career Growth - Reality Check for Tripura Candidates

Salary Range

For a Tripura candidate, this salary is very attractive because:

• Cost of living in Tripura is lower
• Even if posted in Chennai or Kolkata, salary is enough to manage expenses
• Central government benefits like HRA, DA, medical facilities

Many candidates from Tripura avoid such recruitments thinking:

“Too much competition”
“Posting will be far away”
