The CSIR Assistant Section Officer DV Admit Card 2026 is the call letter for candidates shortlisted for Document Verification under Advertisement No. E-I/RC/2026/2. The official recruitment portal lists the download window from 10 October 2026 at 10:00 a.m. to 16 October 2026 at 5:00 p.m..
This is a call letter for the document-verification stage, not a fresh application notice or a written-examination admit card. Candidates should use the call letter and the original recruitment notice to confirm their own reporting date, venue, documents and any additional instructions.

How to download the call letter
- Open the official CSIR recruitment portal: https://recruitment.niscpr.res.in/.
- Locate the recruitment entry for Assistant Section Officers under Advertisement No. E-I/RC/2026/2.
- Open the link for the Document Verification call letter once it is active.
- Enter the details requested by the official portal and follow its download instructions. Use only the official website; do not provide login details on third-party pages.
- Save the PDF locally and print a clear copy. Reopen the saved file to confirm it is complete and that the text, barcode or QR code—if shown—can be read.
- Read the entire call letter, including any page containing reporting instructions or the checklist of documents to bring.
If the download link is not visible before the stated start time, revisit the official recruitment portal after 10:00 a.m. on 10 October. If the portal is slow near the deadline, try again later rather than repeatedly refreshing an incomplete download. Keep a saved copy and do not rely solely on a mobile screenshot.
What candidates should check on the call letter
The portal announcement confirms the DV call-letter window, but the individual letter is the controlling source for candidate-specific instructions. After downloading, check the following details carefully:
- Identity details: name, registration/roll number and any other candidate identifier printed on the document.
- Reporting instructions: verification date, reporting time, venue and any arrival or entry directions stated in the letter.
- Document checklist: the exact certificates, originals, photocopies, declarations or other records requested by the recruiting authority.
- Photograph and identity proof: check whether the letter specifies a recent photograph, government-issued photo identification or any additional proof.
- Special instructions: read any note on format, self-attestation, category certificates, educational documents or other requirements that apply to your candidature.
Do not assume that a generic list circulating on social media is complete. The requirements can depend on the notice and a candidate’s circumstances. Follow the list printed in the call letter and the underlying recruitment advertisement, including any later corrigendum.
Prepare a document folder before the deadline
Once the call letter is available, compare its checklist against the documents you already have. Keep the originals separate from the photocopies and arrange them in the order requested by the authority, if an order is provided. Check that names, dates and other particulars are consistent across documents. If a certificate needs correction or an updated version, consult the official instructions promptly rather than altering a document yourself.
Store the downloaded PDF and a backup in a secure location. If the portal allows another download, that does not replace the need to follow the reporting directions. Candidates should plan travel only after confirming the venue, reporting time and any centre-specific instructions shown on their own call letter.
Who should download this call letter?
The window is relevant to candidates in the Assistant Section Officer recruitment under Advertisement No. E-I/RC/2026/2 who have been directed to attend document verification. A live download link does not mean every applicant has been shortlisted. Check the separate result or shortlist notice and your candidate dashboard before arranging travel. If you cannot find the call letter, recheck the official notice and portal rather than relying on screenshots shared in messaging groups.
If the portal fails or your details look incorrect
First, confirm that the download window is open and that you are on the official recruitment portal. If a page times out, wait briefly and retry; also try a current browser or download the PDF again rather than relying on a partially loaded preview. Save a screenshot of any persistent error and note the time. If the call letter shows a mismatch in your name, registration number or another personal detail, do not edit the PDF or assume the discrepancy is harmless. Contact the recruiting authority using contact details published on its official portal. Never disclose a password or one-time passcode to an unsolicited caller claiming to help with a call letter.
Checklist for the verification day and afterwards
Use the call letter for the exact reporting date, time, venue and entry instructions. Pack the printed call letter, identity proof and only the originals, copies, photographs or declarations specified in the official checklist. Keep originals protected and photocopies separate; do not substitute a phone screenshot for a printed document where the notice asks for a hard copy. Recheck the venue before departure and leave enough time for local travel. After verification, retain any acknowledgement or communication provided and keep monitoring the official portal and registered email for subsequent instructions. Attendance at document verification by itself does not guarantee final appointment; the remaining recruitment conditions still apply.
What this notice does—and does not—confirm
The official portal confirms the dates for downloading the Assistant Section Officer Document Verification call letter. It does not, in the visible announcement, set out each candidate’s individual verification schedule or reproduce every document requirement. Those details should be read from the downloaded letter and the applicable official recruitment notice.
This is also not a notice opening applications for new candidates. It concerns people already in the relevant recruitment process who have reached the document-verification stage. Candidates who are not sure whether they are eligible to attend should check the result/shortlisting notice and the instructions issued for Advertisement No. E-I/RC/2026/2 before making travel arrangements.
