National Institute of Technology Raipur Deputy Director Recruitment 2026

National Institute of Technology Raipur (NIT Raipur), an Institute of National Importance under the Ministry of Education, has issued advertisement No. NITRR/R-1/2026/917 dated 16 June 2026 for the Deputy Director position. The notice says the appointment will be made from senior faculty members on the recommendation of the Selection Committee as per Statute 23(5)(a).
