Corroboration: 1 independent outlet

The Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA) has invited online applications for three contractual posts at its Centre for Excellence in CSR & Corporate Citizenship. The vacancies are Senior Research Associate (Rs 75,000 a month), Chief Program Executive (Rs 1,00,000 a month) and Project Assistant (Rs 40,000 a month). Each post has a separate application link. The roles are initially for one year and carry consolidated pay with no DA, HRA, LTC or medical benefits. The maximum age for applicants is 63 years as of the closing date of 21 November 2026. The Senior Research Associate requires a post-graduate degree and 3 to 5 years of CSR experience. The Chief Program Executive demands a Master’s degree and 10 to 15 years in CSR or ESG roles. The Project Assistant is open to candidates with CA/CS/ICWA articleship. The official notification does not specify an application fee.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The three contractual roles at IICA’s CSR centre pay a wide salary band of Rs 40,000 to Rs 1,00,000 a month, but offer no allowances or LTC. The Chief Program Executive post demands 10 to 15 years of experience, a high bar that likely reflects the need for senior talent in a short-term project setting. The vacancy count is just three, split across two separate projects, the IICA project and the WNS Project, which may limit the scope for internal mobility. Applications close on 21 November 2026.
