IITR Project Officer IPR Recruitment 2026

IITR Project Officer Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IITR) is engaging a Project Officer in its Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Cell. The position supports the SRIC/IPR Activities project under Prof. Tarun Sharma, with funding from the institute's Sponsored Research and Industrial Consultancy fund. This is a project contract connected to the institute's intellectual-property activities and technologies developed on campus.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Project tenure: The notice specifies an engagement lasting one year. Read this as the duration of the project position described in this advertisement when considering the offer.
• Preference on equal merit: Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe applicants receive preference when qualifications and experience are equal. The notice frames this as a tie-based preference rather than identifying a reserved-category allocation for the position.
• Attendance costs: IITR will not pay travel or daily allowance for attending the interview. You will need to arrange your attendance with that condition in mind.
• Doctoral admission: The standard sentence about a possible opportunity for PhD admission is crossed out in this notice. You should therefore not treat admission to a doctoral programme as a stated benefit of this appointment.

Application Submission Notes

The handwritten instruction specifies a walk-in interview at the IPR office, IIT Roorkee, at 10:30 AM. The separate template line for sending an application by a deadline has been struck through, so the walk-in instruction is the relevant route for this notice.

The printed template refers to applications reaching the Principal Investigator's office by email, post or at interview. However, it does not supply an email address, and the completed instruction names the IPR office as the walk-in venue; use that stated venue rather than assuming an online application form exists.
