IIM Raipur has released a walk-in recruitment notice for two contract positions: one Staff Nurse post and one Visiting Psychological Counsellor post. This recruitment is meant for candidates who already meet the post-specific qualification and experience conditions and are ready to appear directly for interview at the institute.

Selection Process and Important Conditions
