IIITDM Kancheepuram Project Assistant Recruitment 2026 — 1 Post, Apply by 01 Sep

Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design and Manufacturing, Kancheepuram (IIITDM Kancheepuram) has released its Project Assistant Recruitment 2026 notification under Advertisement No. IIITDMK/PR/PA/A27/2026 dated 12 August 2026, inviting applications for 1 post on a contractual basis. Eligible candidates can apply online until 01 September 2026. Applicants need a B.Tech./B.E. in all branches related to Electronics Engineering, or an M.E./M.Tech. in all branches related to Electronics Engineering, Photonics, or Optoelectronics and Laser Technology. The Project Assistant role at IIITDM Kancheepuram carries a maximum age limit of 35 years, with age relaxation applicable as per Government of India norms. Selection for this IIITDM Kancheepuram post is a two-stage process comprising a Written Test followed by an Interview. Selected candidates will receive a consolidated monthly pay of Rs. 10,000, on a contractual basis. Interested candidates should apply online through the Google Form link provided by IIITDM Kancheepuram well before the 01 September 2026 deadline, since there is no application fee for any category. The eligible discipline range for this IIITDM Kancheepuram Project Assistant post — spanning general Electronics Engineering at the Bachelor's level, and the more specialized Photonics and Optoelectronics/Laser Technology fields at the Master's level — suggests the underlying research project likely involves optical or photonic systems work, an area where IIITDM Kancheepuram has notable research strength given its design and manufacturing focus. Candidates should note that this Project Assistant post carries a relatively modest consolidated salary of Rs. 10,000 per month, which is typical for entry-level Bachelor's-degree Project Assistant roles rather than the higher-paying Master's-level JRF or Research Associate positions commonly advertised at IITs and IIITs. Since selection involves both a Written Test and an Interview, candidates should prepare thoroughly on core Electronics Engineering fundamentals as well as any specialized Photonics or Optoelectronics concepts relevant to their entry route, since the written stage is likely to test foundational technical knowledge before the interview assesses research fit. Fresh B.Tech./B.E. graduates in Electronics Engineering may find this an accessible entry point into research at a premier design and manufacturing-focused institute in Tamil Nadu.
