The Central Silk Board has selected 15 Sericulture and two Forestry post-graduates of Forest College and Research Institute for the post of Scientist - B (Precocoon).
The CSB had conducted the recruitment process to fill 122 existing vacancies in the post at various research institutes across India.
After clearing the preliminary written test conducted by Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), New Delhi, the candidates of FCRI applied for the post of Scientist-B in CSB.
The 24 shortlisted candidates were called for the verification of original certificates and other documents in the ratio of 1:4. The personal interview was conducted earlier this month at CSB, Bangalore, and the results were declared two days ago, a TNAU press release said.
The selected candidates reflected that hands-on exposures imparted in mulberry cultivation, pests and disease management, disinfection, chawki maintenance, silkworm rearing, mounting and value addition during the practical classes and in-depth knowledge, as part of the course work, stood them in good stead to clear the written examination and face the personal interview with confidence.
