IITGN Technical Officer Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) is recruiting a Technical Officer for the Center for Creative Learning under the project 30-30 Eklavya 2024-26. The appointment is tied to the project and sits within the institute's Research and Development Office. Prof. Manish Jain is the principal investigator, and the role focuses on leading the centre's educational video team.

The emphasis is on filmmaking and visual storytelling: helping an academic team communicate scientific and technical ideas through video.

  • Turn scientific and technical concepts into clear visual stories.
  • Develop visual metaphors and demonstrations for educational videos.
