IIT Delhi Jr. Project Assistant (Tech.) Recruitment 2026 — 1 Post, Walk-in 03 Sep

Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi) has released its Jr. Project Assistant (Tech.) Recruitment 2026 notification under Advertisement No. IITD/IRD/224/2026, inviting applications for 1 post on a contractual basis. The advertisement was issued on 18 August 2026, and eligible candidates can attend the walk-in interview on 03 September 2026. Applicants need a 3-year Diploma in the appropriate discipline with 2 years' relevant work experience, or a 2-year ITI qualification in the relevant field with 8 years' relevant work experience. Selection for this IIT Delhi post involves a Walk-in Test followed by an Interview. Selected candidates will receive Rs. 29,290 to Rs. 38,220 per month, plus HRA at 27%. Interested candidates should attend the walk-in interview at the designated venue at IIT Delhi on 03 September 2026, with all original documents and self-attested photocopies, since there is no application fee for any category. This IIT Delhi Jr. Project Assistant (Tech.) Recruitment 2026 offers Diploma and ITI holders with relevant technical experience a contractual research support opportunity at India's premier engineering institute in New Delhi. This IIT Delhi Jr. Project Assistant (Tech.) post offers two distinct eligibility routes, allowing both formally trained diploma holders with moderate experience and highly experienced ITI-qualified technicians to compete for the same position, reflecting IIT Delhi's practical, experience-weighted approach to technical support staff recruitment for its sponsored research projects. Candidates should note the significant experience gap between the two eligibility pathways — 2 years for Diploma holders versus 8 years for ITI holders — which reflects the deeper technical grounding typically expected from a formal diploma program compared to a shorter ITI course, with the additional years of hands-on ITI experience serving as a substitute for the more extensive theoretical training a diploma program provides. Since this is a project-specific contractual position tied to a sponsored research project at IIT Delhi, candidates should be prepared for the role to be time-bound and linked to the duration of the underlying research project, rather than offering long-term institutional employment, which is typical for Jr. Project Assistant positions at IITs across India. Interested candidates should reach the walk-in venue well before the scheduled reporting time on 03 September 2026, with all documents ready for the Walk-in Test and subsequent Interview stages of selection. This is a solid technical opportunity at one of India's premier engineering institutions in New Delhi. Prepare all relevant certificates in advance of the interview date. This role provides valuable exposure to sponsored research project work.
