IIT Kharagpur Library Trainee Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT Kharagpur) is recruiting Professional Trainees for its Central Library. This is a time-limited training opportunity at the institute in Kharagpur, West Bengal, under advertisement R/14/2026.

The training arrangement carries a specific commitment that you should consider before joining: leaving before completion triggers repayment of the stipend under the undertaking described in the notice. The institute handles this recruitment through its online staff application route.

Service Conditions and Caveats

  • Training period: The programme runs for 12 months. Consider your availability for the full period before accepting the engagement.
  • Early departure: You must sign an undertaking when joining. If you leave before completing the training period, the notice requires you to refund the entire stipend amount, alongside the other applicable terms.
  • Reservation: Government of India reservation rules apply to the recruitment. The notice does not give a category-wise distribution of the trainee positions.
  • Provisional candidature: Taking part in the recruitment does not by itself confirm your candidature. The institute must still be satisfied that you meet its stated requirements.
  • Communication: Keep the email address in your application correct and active. Call letters and other recruitment messages will arrive by email; the institute will not send separate paper letters.
  • Queries: The institute will not entertain interim enquiries about the recruitment. Technical problems with completing the online application have a separate email contact, so describe the specific problem when seeking help.

Application Submission Notes

No paper application is to be sent after applying online. For problems while completing the online form, write to erp.nonfac@iitkgp.ac.in and explain the issue you encountered.
