IIT Kharagpur Project Officer (Technical) Recruitment 2026 — 1 Post, Apply by 26 Aug

Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT Kharagpur) has released its Project Officer (Technical) Recruitment 2026 notification under Reference No. IIT/SRIC/R/CCC/2026/118, inviting applications for 1 post on a contractual basis. Eligible candidates can apply online until 26 August 2026. Applicants need a B.Tech in ECE/EE or equivalent with a minimum of 55% marks and 4 years of relevant experience, or an M.Tech in ECE/EE or equivalent with a minimum of 55% marks and 2 years of relevant experience. The Project Officer (Technical) role at IIT Kharagpur carries a maximum age limit of 35 years, with age relaxation for SC/ST/OBC/PH candidates as per government rules. Selection for this IIT Kharagpur post is a two-stage process comprising Application Screening and an Interview. Selected candidates will receive a consolidated monthly pay of Rs. 30,000. Interested candidates should apply online through the official IIT Kharagpur SRIC recruitment portal well before the 26 August 2026 deadline, since there is no application fee for any category. This IIT Kharagpur Project Officer (Technical) post offers a dual-pathway eligibility structure, allowing both B.Tech holders with more extensive industry experience and M.Tech holders with somewhat less experience to compete for the same role, reflecting a common practice at IITs where the specific balance of academic depth versus practical field experience is treated as roughly equivalent for technical support positions of this nature. Candidates should ensure their percentage marks are clearly documented at or above the 55% threshold specified, since this is stated as a firm minimum requirement rather than a general guideline, and should also prepare clear documentation of their relevant work experience in Electronics, Communication, or Electrical Engineering fields to support the Application Screening stage of the selection process. Interested candidates should apply well ahead of the 26 August 2026 deadline given the relatively short application window remaining. This is a solid technical opportunity for ECE/EE professionals at a premier engineering institute. Candidates should confirm all documentation is ready before starting the online application process.
