EdCIL (India) Limited, a Mini Ratna Category-I Central Public Sector Enterprise under the Government of India, has released Advertisement No. EdCIL/TSG/Rajasthan/PMU-SS/2026-01 dated 11 August 2026 inviting online applications for 57 contractual positions at the Project Management Unit (PMU) under Samagra Shiksha and STARS, Rajasthan Project, Department of School Education, Government of Rajasthan. The recruitment is being conducted on behalf of the Rajasthan Council of School Education, the State Implementation Society for the Samagra Shiksha and STARS programme. Posts include Chief Consultant (2), Consultant across three fee levels (10), Associate Consultant or Data Analyst (2), District Consultant FLN (41) and Coordinator (2). These are purely contractual, full-time engagements for 1 year, extendable by 1 more year based on requirement and performance. This engagement does not confer any right to regular appointment or permanent absorption. Consolidated monthly fees range from Rs. 50,000 (District Consultant) to Rs. 1,75,000 (Chief Consultant). Applications are online only through tsgrecruitment.edcil.co.in, with a closing date of 24 August 2026 and no application fee.
Important Note: Three things every applicant must read before 24 August 2026. First, the closing date is only 13 days from the notification date – the application window opened on 11 August 2026 and closes on 24 August 2026, giving very little time to prepare documents, verify eligibility and submit. Do not wait. Age, qualification and experience are all reckoned as on 1 April 2026, so check your eligibility against that date specifically, not today’s date. Second, these are contractual engagements, not government posts – EdCIL is implementing this on behalf of the Rajasthan Council of School Education under a World Bank-funded programme (STARS). Engagement is for 1 year, extendable by 1 more year. There is no permanence, no regular pay scale, and no right to absorption into any government service at any stage. Candidates should understand this clearly before applying. Third, each post has a specific and different minimum experience requirement ranging from 3 to 10 years, and the experience domain must match the post applied for – general management experience will not substitute for domain-specific experience (e.g., ICT experience for the ICT post, legal experience for the Legal post). Mismatch discovered at interview leads to rejection. Verify post-wise eligibility from the official notification PDF on edcilindia.co.in before submitting.
