NITJ Deputy Director Advt 51/2026

NITJ Deputy Director Recruitment 2026: Overview

Dr B R Ambedkar National Institute of Technology Jalandhar (NITJ) is choosing a Deputy Director from among its serving Professors. This is an internal senior-leadership appointment, not an open recruitment for faculty from other institutions. The selected Professor will work alongside the Director and institute authorities on academic leadership, administration and outreach while continuing to bring an experienced faculty perspective to institutional decisions.

The appointment follows Statute 23, Sub-Statute 5 clause (a) of the First Statutes of the National Institutes of Technology (Amendment) Statutes 2017. The Selection Committee will recommend the appointee from the institute's senior faculty, so your application should present a clear record of academic standing, leadership assignments and contributions beyond your own department. Advertisement 51/2026 particularly values a strong academic record and visible work in administration and outreach.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Internal candidature: Only Professors presently working at NIT Jalandhar are covered by this advertisement.
• Initial tenure: The appointment is for three years rather than an open-ended change of cadre.
• Extension: The Board may recommend two further extensions of one year each, allowing a maximum tenure of five years.
• Governing framework: Service conditions follow the NIT Act, 2007, the applicable Statutes and later amendments.
• Leadership record: The assessment covers academic contribution, institute administration, outreach work and your standing in your field of specialisation.
• Language: If the Hindi and English versions differ or appear unclear, the English version of the advertisement will prevail.

The role calls for someone who can connect academic priorities with institute-wide execution. Your record as a Professor, Head of Department or Dean should show how you have handled shared responsibilities, supported faculty and students, and represented the institute in wider academic or public-facing work.

Application Submission Notes

The process is entirely online through the dedicated NITJ Deputy Director recruitment portal. You do not need to send a printed form or hard copies of uploaded documents to the institute after completing the online application.

Before the final submission, check that the details in the form and every uploaded file are complete and correct. The notice does not provide a later paper-submission route, so the online form should accurately reflect your Professor-level experience, leadership roles, academic work, administrative contribution and outreach record.

Use the specific recruitment login linked in this listing rather than the institute homepage. Institute updates will appear on the official NITJ website, and you should keep a saved copy or acknowledgement of the submitted online form for your own record.
