CDAC Chennai Multi Post Recruitment 2026: Overview

The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), a scientific society under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, is recruiting project staff through its Chennai centre. This contract recruitment covers technology projects and support work at centres and project locations across India. The notice brings together entry-level project work, experienced engineering, technical support and project leadership, so you need to choose the position and domain that match your background.

Posts and Disciplines

• Project Associate: The fresher stream covers areas such as quantum computing, artificial intelligence, embedded systems and software technologies, with locations across India.
• Project Engineer and PS &O Executive: The experienced stream spans technical development, support and related domains, with Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad and other project locations listed.
• Project Manager and related management titles: The Chennai-based group includes Program Manager, Program Delivery Manager and Knowledge Partner designations across the listed technology domains.
• Project Technician: This stream covers IT operations, help desk, server, Linux and network administration domains at multiple centres and project sites.
• Senior Project Engineer and related lead titles: The notice groups Module Lead and Project Leader roles with senior engineering positions in Chennai, Delhi and Hyderabad.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Contract tenure: The initial engagement can run for up to 3 years, but it ends earlier if the project finishes. The appointment does not give you a claim to a regular C-DAC post.
• Extension: A further contract depends on your performance, the project requirement and its remaining duration. You should treat an extension as a possibility, not an assured continuation.
• Project assignment: C-DAC may move you to another project when its work requires it. The terms also allow deputation or transfer to project locations anywhere in India.
• Recruitment changes: C-DAC can change the number of positions, leave a position unfilled, or cancel all or part of the recruitment. The advertised requirement is therefore subject to the organisation’s final decision.
• Travel costs: C-DAC will not pay travel or daily allowances for attending a written examination or interview. You need to plan for these costs yourself if called.
• Internal applicants: A selected C-DAC employee must leave the current appointment and join the selected position as a fresh employee.
• Communication: Interview calls and other recruitment messages will go to the email address in your application. Keep that address active, as no paper call letter will follow.
• Conduct and interpretation: Canvassing can disqualify you. If versions of the notice differ in meaning, the English version takes precedence.

Application Submission Notes

Government, PSU and government autonomous-body employees must also apply online and route a signed application printout through the proper channel to the HRD Section, C-DAC, Chennai. The general instruction for other applicants is to keep any printout for their own records and not post it to C-DAC.

Separate applications are needed if you apply for different positions. C-DAC has not authorised recruitment agents, so use the position’s own application option on the official notice page.
