About the National Jute Board
The National Jute Board is a statutory body functioning under the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India, established under the National Jute Board Act, 2008. It works on matters connected with the jute sector, and this recruitment is for independent Consultants and Young Professionals to support its Administration, Finance, Market Promotion and Technology functions. Candidates interested in other central government recruitment notifications can check the site’s Government Jobs section.
This description of the Board’s role beyond the recruitment notice is added context, not part of the official notification. Confirm with the National Jute Board’s official website.
Local context: reaching Patsan Bhawan, Kolkata
Six of the seven posts are based at Patsan Bhawan, CF 6/1, Street No. 175, Action Area I, New Town, Kolkata. New Town sits on the eastern side of Kolkata, close to the airport area, and is connected to the rest of the city by road and by suburban rail links into central Kolkata.
Candidates travelling from Darjeeling, Siliguri or elsewhere in North Bengal can reach Kolkata by direct train from New Jalpaiguri or by flight from Bagdogra Airport to Kolkata; from there, New Town is on the airport side of the city. The one Technology & Technical post is based in New Delhi instead of Kolkata, so candidates applying for that post should plan for Delhi, not Kolkata. Candidates can also browse more West Bengal government job openings on the site.
The travel routes above are added context, not part of the official notification, and are described without specific distances or journey times, since none are given in the notice. Confirm current routes and connections independently.

Should you apply?
The Consultant posts suit retired senior government officers — Under Secretary level or above, with at least 10 years of relevant government service — who want a post-retirement engagement rather than a new career. The notice does not state a fixed monthly figure for Consultants; remuneration instead follows a separate Finance Ministry Office Memorandum, so candidates should confirm the exact amount before applying.
The Young Professional posts suit graduates or postgraduates under 35 with at least one year of relevant experience, offering a clear Rs. 70,000 per month. These are engagement-based roles under a Ministry of Textiles Office Memorandum, not permanent government service — the notice does not mention job security, pension or a stated contract length, which is worth weighing against the fixed pay. Six of the seven categories are based in Kolkata; only the Technology & Technical Young Professional post is in New Delhi.
