Service Conditions and Caveats

• Rolling consideration: IIT Bombay processes applications periodically. Your chosen academic unit's needs matter, and the institute may fill some, all or none of the advertised positions.
• Reservation: Government of India reservation rules apply, including provisions for persons with disabilities. The institute encourages women and applicants from under-represented groups to apply.
• Foreign-national appointments: These are contractual for up to five years. Government of India permission is needed before joining, and foreign-passport holders need the specified political and security clearances at confirmation.
• Research environment: The notice describes research facilities across the academic units, computing resources and library access. It also encourages interaction with industry and other research or professional institutions.
• Consultancy and enterprise: Faculty consultancy is encouraged under institute policies. The Society for Innovation and Entrepreneurship supports technology-based entrepreneurship by faculty.
• Accommodation: IIT Bombay aims to provide suitable faculty housing, but you may initially need accommodation outside campus. Campus quarters have intercom and broadband access.
• Campus services: The notice identifies banks, a post office, shops, schools, a hospital and sports and cultural facilities on campus. These describe the working environment; housing availability remains subject to the institute's arrangements.
• Repeat applications: If you applied during the previous two years, highlight substantial improvements in your CV. Each academic unit needs a separate online application, and the institute does not accept applications by hard copy or email.
