IIIT Bhopal TPO Recruitment 2026

IIIT Bhopal Training and Placement Officer Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indian Institute of Information Technology Bhopal (IIIT Bhopal) is hiring a Training and Placement Officer on contract to support its links with employers and its student placement work. The institute operates under the Ministry of Education through a public private partnership and offers undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. The role brings together career guidance, campus recruitment and industry relationships for students from different academic and social backgrounds.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Contract period: Your initial engagement lasts 11 months or until further orders, whichever comes first. An extension depends on your performance or the institute's needs, with a break of one working day between contracts.
• No automatic permanent appointment: Completing the contract does not give you a right to renewal, regularisation or a permanent job. The appointment also gives you no claim over a regular institute post.
• Employee benefits: Housing, medical facilities and other benefits offered to regular employees do not apply to this contractual appointment. Consider this condition alongside the separate compensation details when assessing the role.
• Working hours: Placement activities can extend beyond usual office or academic hours. You may need to work on weekends when the institute's operational needs call for it.
• Travel costs: The institute will not pay travel or daily allowances for attending its selection process. You should make your arrangements with this condition in mind.
• Institute discretion: The institute can withdraw the post, change the recruitment process or leave the position unfilled. It may also offer a lower-level post based on the assessment of an applicant.
• Information and conduct: Your application details are treated as final. False records or hidden material information can lead to termination and legal action, and attempts to influence the process lead to disqualification.
• Communication: Keep your email address active because recruitment correspondence will reach you by email. Any addendum or correction will appear on the institute website.
• Disputes: Recruitment-related disputes fall under the courts or tribunals in Bhopal. The institute's decision governs ambiguities in its recruitment process.
