  • The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has announced that it will increase the age limit of Scientist C from the existing 32 years to 35 years as per the demand of research scholars.

The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has recently announced an increase in the age limit for the positions of Scientist 'C' and Research Associate, sparking a debate within the scientific community. This decision aims to accommodate candidates who might have faced delays in their careers due to various reasons, including the impact of the global health crisis. Critics argue that this move could potentially disadvantage younger scientists by increasing competition and possibly leading to a backlog in career progression. The adjustment in age criteria is seen by some as a necessary step to ensure inclusivity and fairness, while others question its long-term effects on the dynamism and innovation within India's research landscape. The debate continues as stakeholders weigh the benefits of experience against the need for fresh perspectives in scientific research.
