GUIDELINES FOR SCREENING OF APPLICATIONS
For Different Scientific Positions (Including Research Management Positions)
Using Revised Score Card (For Direct Selection)
______________________________________________________________________________________
1. CONSTITUTION OF SCREENING COMMITTEE
Two or more subject matter experts as Members, one of whom may be designated as Chairman of the
Committee by the ASRB. In addition, one more scientist who need not necessarily be a subject matter expert
will be designated as the Member Secretary of the Screening Committee.
The quorum for the Screening Committee shall be three including Chairman and the Member Secretary.
2. PRELIMINARY APPRAISAL FOR FULFILLING ESSENTIAL QUALIFICATIONS (by ASRB Staff)
2.1
ASRB Staff shall undertake the preliminary screening of the applications received for all scientific
positions. While doing so, a comparative tabulated statement shall be prepared. Applications should
have been received within the prescribed dates both for the Advance copy as well as the Through
Proper Channel copy as appeared in the advertisement. Applications received late in either case shall
be rejected and not considered for screening.
2.2
The candidate(s) should fulfil all the prescribed essential qualifications for the post applied for. If any
candidate does not fulfil one or more essential qualifications, he/she will not be eligible for the post
applied for. It will be simply mentioned Not Eligible/Does Not Fulfill The Essential Qualification
against his/her name in the preliminary score card sheet. No marks are to be given to such candidates
under any item of the Revised Score Card System. However, the Screening Committee shall confirm
the eligibility once again especially with respect to Academic Qualifications and Employment Records.
2.3
Those candidates who do not fulfill the minimum prescribed qualifications of work experience for the
post, some alternate qualifications are given for eminent scientists having proven record of scientific
contributions. Under this alternative qualification of Eminent Scientist, only those candidates shall
be considered who have been decorated with (i) national/international awards/recognitions such as
those conferred by National Organizations like ICAR, CSIR, DBT etc., Govt. of India, International Bodies
of repute like FAO, UN etc (ii) Fellows of one of the recognized National Academies, viz; National
Academy of Agricultural Sciences, National Academy of Medical Sciences, Indian Academy of Sciences,
Indian National Academy of Engineering, Indian National Science Academy and National Academy of
Sciences and (iii) Minimum of 10 publication in journals having NAAS ratings of 7.5 and above. All
three conditions should be simultaneously met with to qualify for the eminent category.
2.4
The recognitions should, however, be relevant to the positions applied for. Award of fellowship by any
other organization/society, development of technology, variety/prototype etc. are not to be
considered for this purpose. The interpretation of the qualifications and/or the recognitions by
different professional bodies to an Eminent Scientist shall be made finally by Chairman/Member of the
ASRB.
2.5
The applications received from persons working abroad/outside India having no prescribed pay scale
shown in their applications, the Screening Committee will determine their eligibility on the basis of
Revised Score Card after assessing their qualifications and number of years of experience and
emoluments for the equivalent posts and may recommend such cases within the prevailing prescribed
recruitment rules.
3. GUIDELINES FOR THE SCREENING COMMITTEE FOR SCREENING OF APPLICATIONS

3.1
Marks are to be assigned for different attributes as per the approved Revised Score Card. Detailed
guidelines for assigning marks out of the maximum score given for each attribute are also provided.
Screening Committee is empowered to assign marks following the detailed guidelines. In case of any
doubt about assigning marks or interpretation of the clauses of screening, the interpretation of
eligibility criteria clauses will be made by Chairman/Member, ASRB and the decision, thereof, shall be
final.
3.2
The scores obtained will be multiplied by a factor of 0.6 in case of Senior Scientist (SS) and Principal
Scientist (PS), by a factor of 0.5 in case of Head of Division (HOD), Head of Regional Station (HRS),
Project Coordinator (PC), National Coordinator (NC) and other equivalent Semi-RMP positions, and by
a factor of 0.4 in case of Director, Deputy Director General, Directors of Deemed Universities and
equivalent RMP positions to obtain weightages of 60, 50 and 40% respectively as final scores of the
Screening Committee.
3.3
(a) The amended NAAS Journal ID is on a scale of 1.0 to 10. The first author will get the full score of the
NAAS rating of a journal while a co-author will get 75% of the rating. The total scores will be obtained
by summing up of the NAAS rate scores of the maximum number of publications as prescribed for each
category of positions and as provided by the applicants. This total score will be multiplied by a factor
of 1/5 for Senior Scientists, 1/7 for Principal Scientists, 1/10 for Head of Divisions and equivalent and
1/18 for the RMP positions to obtain the final score under publication in Col. 9 (i).
(b) In respect of Publications (Refereed Journals), it is stated that scientists working in NAARM,
managing human resource functions or such other Institutes or disciplines, who generally do not have
publications in NAAS rated high impact journals, the Screening Committee in such cases is empowered
to appropriately decide the score of such publications between 1.0 and 2.0.
(c) In respect of the column other publications of the Score Card, two marks for the first author and
one and a half mark to co-authors for each book of minimum 100 pages published, authored/edited.
Similarly, one mark each for Book Chapters, policy paper or training manual published as author is
assigned for the post RMP. In such cases, marks will be assigned by the Screening Committee to those
authors and co-authors as well, who are editing or contributing to bulletins, book chapters etc.
3.4
In case of service rendered in Regional Centre/Stations, which are located in remote/disadvantaged

areas, scoring details are available in the Score Card Guidelines for each category of Scientists and
other positions. The list of such Regional centres/Stations being treated as Disadvantaged Areas is
given at Annexure II, and is subject to revision by the Council from time to time.
4. SHORT LISTING OF CANDIDATES TO BE CALLED FOR INTERVIEW

4.1
First ten ranking candidates for each post subject to a minimum of 50% and 60% marks in the
