OUAT Technical Coordinator FMTC Recruitment 2026

OUAT Technical Coordinator Recruitment 2026: Overview

Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT) is engaging a Technical Co-ordinator for its Farm Machinery Testing Centre in Bhubaneswar. The centre belongs to the Department of Farm Machinery and Power Engineering within the College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology, and is a designated testing centre of the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare. This is a project-linked engagement, so your appointment depends on the project continuing.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Project appointment: The engagement is contractual and ends with the project. Joining this assignment does not give you a claim to a regular OUAT appointment, including if the project later closes.
• Initial term: Your first period of engagement can last up to one year. It ends earlier if the project closes before that year is complete, so the project timeline sets the outer limit of your appointment.
• Yearly extensions: The university may continue the engagement on a yearly basis. Both extension of the project and satisfactory performance are needed; an extension is not promised simply because you complete the first term.
• Ending the engagement: The notice allows the university to end the assignment at any time without advance notice or giving a reason. This condition is separate from the normal end of the project or the initial term.
• Leaving voluntarily: If you wish to leave, give the Principal Investigator one month's notice. You will be relieved after the resignation is accepted; otherwise, the notice provides for depositing one month's pay wherever applicable.
• Written undertaking: If selected, you must give an undertaking on non-judicial stamp paper confirming that you will not claim regular appointment in OUAT after termination or project closure. This makes the temporary nature of the assignment explicit at joining.
• Travel costs: OUAT will not pay travelling or daily allowance for attending the interview. Plan your visit to Bhubaneswar with those expenses in mind.
• Accuracy of your application: The annexed form includes a declaration that the information you provide is true. False information can lead to cancellation of candidature or termination after selection without notice.
