ICMR-NIV, as it is a government organisation , only permeant jobs are secure, project or the contract staff doesn't have job security , work culture varies department to department . It is good for a fresher , they can learn many things and can build base for PhD especially through recommendation letters from scientists. If person wises to stay in academia NIV is the best place to be. To get on scientific cadre PhD is must.

Dislikes

As most of the job vacancies are project based , the tenure ends maximum by 3 years. Depending on department and funding agencies for project the salaries are sometimes irregular. If you are hired as a contractual staff , you do not have any benefits not even earned leaves (EL) there are only CLs which as 2 leaves/ quarter as well as contractual positions are not entitled for annual increment , hence the salary is stagnant.

If you are a permanent employee and someone looking to settle down at a place with a good work-life balance, then this place is for you. But if you're still in your initial years where you can experiment, then you should try other institutes

Dislikes

As a project employee, the scope of learning something new is very limited.
