CDIT Software Developers Recruitment 2026: Overview

Centre for Development of Imaging Technology (C-DIT) is adding computational linguistics software staff to its Research and Development Department. This Kerala government institution works under the Department of Electronics and IT, supporting government technology projects. The recruitment brings together senior and developer roles within the same language-computing project staff notice, with contract engagement linked to project needs.

Posts and Disciplines

• Senior Software Developer, Computational Linguistics: The senior role sits within the department’s language technology work. Its separate post reference is C-DIT/HR1-13/1/2026.
• Software Developer, Computational Linguistics: This role shares the Indian-language computing focus and appears under post reference C-DIT/HR1-13/2/2026. Both roles belong to the same research and development recruitment.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Contract period: Your initial engagement is for one year. Extension depends on performance and continuing project requirements, so it is not an automatic renewal.
• Work location: You may work in Thiruvananthapuram or at another assigned location in Kerala. C-DIT can place project staff at client offices or project sites across the state.
• Regular appointment: Completing the contract does not give you a claim to a regular position in a C-DIT establishment. The notification makes this condition explicit for project appointees.
• Service agreement: If selected, you must sign the agreement prescribed by C-DIT. Your service terms and benefits will follow the conditions set by the institution for this engagement.
• Changing project needs: C-DIT may increase or reduce the advertised openings, or cancel recruitment for a role. The notice links this flexibility to client and project requirements.
• Travel costs: C-DIT will not provide travel or daily allowances at any point in recruitment. Plan for your own travel if you are called to an allotted centre.
• Centre allocation: You may be able to indicate a preferred centre where that option is offered. Final allocation remains with C-DIT and depends partly on sufficient candidates being available at a centre.
• Provisional status: A place on a shortlist or provisional list does not guarantee project engagement. C-DIT retains the final decision on accepting an application and making an appointment.
• Accuracy of your application: Differences between the information you provide and your supporting records can lead to cancellation of an offer and disqualification. Make corrections before final submission, while the portal still allows changes.
• Communication: C-DIT will contact you through the email address you provide. Recruitment lists and changes to schedules or requirements will appear on its official portals, so keep track of those notices as well as your inbox.
• Conduct and jurisdiction: Attempts to influence recruitment will lead to disqualification. Disputes concerning this recruitment fall within the jurisdiction of courts in Kerala.
