Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) in Kochi, Kerala is filling Technician Grade II posts in the Division of Mechanical Engineering, School of Engineering. These are technical staff posts on contract, meant for machinists who will support the division's workshops and labs.

The vacancies are marked as anticipated, so the final number of appointments can depend on actual need. If you hold an ITI in the Machinist trade and already have hands-on shop-floor experience, this is a chance to work inside a well-known state university campus.

• Court cases: All steps under this notification are subject to the outcome of any writ petitions or writ appeals pending before the High Court of Kerala.
• One form per post: If CUSAT lists another post under a separate serial number, you need a separate online application and fee for it.
