NABCONS Vacancy Details 2026
NABCONS has advertised two vacancies, with one position in each specialisation.
| Post Name | Vacancies | Relevant Experience |
|---|---|---|
| Project Consultant (IT) | 1 | 3–6 years in portal development and related IT work |
| Project Consultant (Agri-Business Management) | 1 | 3–6 years in the agriculture sector or a related field |
| Total | 2 |
Educational Qualification and Experience
The two positions have different academic requirements. Candidates should match their qualification and work experience with the specific post instead of relying on the broad phrase “Project Consultant”.
| Post | Required Educational Qualification | Experience |
|---|---|---|
| Project Consultant (IT) | BE/B.Tech in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electronics or an equivalent discipline, along with an MBA/PGDM | 3–6 years of relevant experience, including portal development and related work |
| Project Consultant (Agri-Business Management) | MBA/PGDM in Agri-Business Management | 3–6 years of experience in the agriculture sector or a related field |
Additional skill for the IT role: Another important skill for an IT professional is having knowledge or experience in .NET, which is an additional benefit but should not be considered as a substitute for the requirement of specific qualifications and experience.
Are freshers eligible? Are freshers considered for this job, then? No, for both the roles, candidates must have 3–6 years of relevant experience in the field. Therefore, the candidate only reaching Class 10, Class 12, graduate, or postgraduate level does not qualify.
Important qualification check: It is also necessary to confirm if the applicants have the key qualifications for the IT role, such as engineering degree in the specified specialization (and/or equivalent) and MBA/PGDM, as mentioned in the eligibility template. Candidates must read the official PDF carefully to figure out what is mentioned there.
