Centre for Development of Advanced Computing Mumbai Recruitment 2026 - 45 Posts

Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), a scientific society under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, has released Advertisement No. CORP/JIT/02/2026 for contractual technical posts at C-DAC Mumbai. The engagement is for project work on consolidated pay, initially up to three years or up to project completion, whichever is earlier. This notice is useful for software, AI/ML, robotics, cyber security, full stack, DevOps, architecture, project management, HVAC and civil engineering professionals.

The official post records also show that all these rows are contract-based project roles. C-DAC may assign selected staff to another project based on organizational requirement, and the notice says the engagement does not create any right to a regular C-DAC post. If you are applying from a government, PSU or autonomous body, you should also be ready for the NOC or proper-channel requirement at the interview stage.
