IIML EIC Head/Project Lead Incubation Recruitment 2026: Overview

IIM Lucknow Enterprise Incubation Centre (IIML EIC), hosted by the Indian Institute of Management Lucknow, has announced a Head/Project Lead Incubation contract opening. The centre is hiring a consultant to lead its existing incubation programmes and develop new ones.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Initial tenure: Your appointment starts with a one-year contract. This is a time-bound engagement with the incubator, so the notice does not promise a permanent institute post.
• Extension: A further term depends on the project’s requirements, your performance and the centre’s continuing need for the role. Renewal also follows IIML EIC policy and is not automatic when the initial term ends.
• Interview expenses: You must cover your own travel and other incidental costs for attending the interview. The centre will not reimburse TA, DA or related expenses, so factor that into your arrangements if you receive an invitation.
• Offer terms: The centre will decide the final compensation using your qualifications, experience, previous salary and other relevant factors. The advertised package is inclusive, and the notice does not promise separate additional benefits.
• Recruitment discretion: IIML EIC may leave the position unfilled. An advertised opening therefore does not guarantee that the centre will make an appointment.
• Conduct: Trying to influence the recruitment through canvassing can disqualify you. Keep your participation within the process described by the centre.
• Updates: Check the institute website for changes and corrections to this recruitment. The notice says these updates will be posted on the website.
