IIT Bhilai CSE Multi-Post Recruitment 2026

IIT Bhilai Multi-Post Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indian Institute of Technology Bhilai (IIT Bhilai) is recruiting Project Engineer and Project Associate staff for an IIT Bhilai Innovation and Technology Foundation-funded research project in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. The team is developing accessible banking functions for people with visual impairments through a smart ATM, under Principal Investigator Prof. Santosh Biswas at the permanent campus in Kutelabhata, Durg.

Both roles belong to the same short project engagement, but they serve different parts of the work. The Project Engineer is identified as a software-development role, while the Project Associate provides the technical and operational support needed to keep the work moving.

Posts and Disciplines

• Project Engineer (Software Developer): The role suits candidates from computer science, information technology or an equivalent field who can contribute directly to software work for the accessible smart-ATM project.
• Project Associate: This role is open through science, engineering-diploma, engineering-degree or equivalent routes combined with the relevant experience stated in the notice.

Post-wise Duties

Project Engineer

You will help design and develop the software components that make ATM functions usable for visually impaired customers. Your work may cover implementation, integration, technical troubleshooting and coordination with the research team as the prototype develops.

Project Associate

You will support the day-to-day technical work of the project, help maintain project information and assist the engineering team with testing and coordination. The exact allocation will follow the needs of the principal investigator and the funded project.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Initial tenure: Each appointment is temporary for 89 days. Renewal may be considered for the project's duration based on performance.
• Funding: Continued engagement and staff pay remain subject to funds being available for the project.
• Immediate joining: The person selected must be ready to join as soon as the offer is received.
