ESIC PMU ICT Recruitment 2026: The Employees’ State Insurance Corporation has thrown open 25 specialist ICT positions at its Project Management Unit in New Delhi, and this one stands apart from typical government recruitment in two ways: it pays private-sector-style consolidated salaries up to Rs. 3.3 lakh a month, and it skips the online portal entirely in favor of plain email applications.
This is a contractual engagement built for experienced tech professionals rather than fresh graduates, spanning everything from a Project Director role requiring two decades of enterprise IT leadership down to specialist Network and Database Administrator posts. Here’s what you need to know before applying.

ESIC has clarified that submitting an application does not guarantee an interview call, and detailed credential verification happens only after shortlisting — so candidature remains provisional until documents are checked.
