IIT ISM Deputy Registrar Recruitment 2026

IIT ISM Deputy Registrar Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), Dhanbad (IIT ISM Dhanbad) is hiring Deputy Registrars under Advertisement No. 411002/8/2026-NFR. Founded in 1926 as the Indian School of Mines, the institute now runs 17 departments covering engineering, pure and applied sciences, management, and humanities and social sciences.

Deputy Registrar is a senior non-teaching administration post on the Dhanbad campus. The institute is hiring through two separate routes, a direct recruitment opening and a deputation opening, so pick the one that matches your service background. The direct recruitment opening was advertised earlier in 2026 and stayed vacant, which is why it is back.

Posts and Disciplines

• Deputy Registrar (Direct Recruitment): a regular post reserved for the EWS category. If no suitable EWS candidate is found, the institute may fill it as an unreserved post, so candidates eligible for UR posts are encouraged to apply too. It suits academics with educational-administration experience as well as Assistant Registrars ready to move up.
• Deputy Registrar (Deputation): meant for officers already serving in Central or State governments, institutes of national importance, universities or PSUs who handle administration, establishment and accounts. This is a lien vacancy: it exists because the regular holder is away, so the term is limited.
• Divyang suitability: The post is marked suitable for candidates with low vision, hard of hearing, or locomotor disability, including cerebral palsy, leprosy cured, dwarfism, acid attack victims and muscular dystrophy.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Lien condition: Only employees whose parent organisation allows them to hold a lien will be considered for deputation, and you must submit proof of this from your parent office. If the regular holder returns, you go back to your parent office.
• Deputation term: The deputation ends by 22 November 2028 at the latest, or earlier if the regular holder returns or the institute orders otherwise.
• Cut-off date: Your age, qualifications and experience are all judged as on the closing date of the application.
• EWS certificate: It must be in the latest Government of India format and issued on or after 1 April 2026.
• Experience equivalence: If your experience certificate shows pay scales other than the Central Government or CDA pattern, attach an equivalence certificate. Otherwise that experience will not be counted.
• NOC: Government, PSU and autonomous-body employees can apply without an NOC, but the form is then treated as an advance copy and you must show the NOC at the interview.
• Placement: The institute can place you in any section or department after selection.
• Travel: Shortlisted candidates get to-and-fro AC-3 tier rail fare by the shortest route. The presentation and interview may also be held online.
• Jurisdiction: Any legal dispute falls under Dhanbad courts only.
