MGU Hardware Engineer Recruitment 2026: Overview

Mahatma Gandhi University (MGU) is hiring a Hardware Engineer on a temporary contract at Kottayam. The notice places this technical support role within the university and links any extension to your performance. It also includes a special provision for people who have already worked as hardware engineers in MGU service.

Service Conditions and Caveats

  • Contract period: The initial engagement is for one year. The notice allows an extension up to two years based on performance, so you should treat continuation as conditional.
  • Nature of appointment: This is a temporary contract with consolidated pay. The engagement described in this notice is tied to those contract terms.
  • Previous MGU service: If you have worked as a hardware engineer in MGU service, the notice provides a separate way to record that service. The supporting details are listed with the required documents.
  • Late applications: The university says it will not consider applications received after the prescribed deadline. Keep that condition in mind when arranging the postal part of your application.

Application Submission Notes

Your application has both an email and a postal component: send the email to notificationada4@mgu.ac.in and the postal set to The Registrar, Mahatma Gandhi University, P D Hills P O, Kottayam - 686560. The notice asks for both, so sending the email alone does not complete its stated submission requirement.

Include your own valid email address and mobile number in your bio-data. MGU will use the email address to tell shortlisted applicants the interview date and time; the notice does not announce a common interview schedule.

Responsibilities

  • Coordinate with other teams to keep hardware and software compatible.
  • Update reports on newly added hardware.
  • Upgrade existing hardware to the required specifications.
  • Resolve hardware and network faults in priority order.
  • Send daily and weekly work reports to the Senior Hardware Engineer.
