Service Conditions and Caveats

• Initial tenure: Your engagement starts with six months. An extension depends on your performance and whether project funds remain available.
• Project-linked appointment: The position is temporary and ends with the project. Continued engagement depends on performance and the project's continuation.
• Joining: If selected, you must join within seven days of the appointment order being issued. Keep this short joining window in mind when considering the role.
• Funding: Salary payments depend on the funding agency releasing money. This funding condition applies even though the notice specifies a monthly rate.
• Leaving early: If you resign before your engagement ends, you must give one month's notice or pay one month's salary instead.
• University discretion: The selection committee may leave the post unfilled if it does not find a suitable person. The university can also cancel the post without giving a reason.
• Applicable rules: Your appointment follows university and funding-agency rules, including later changes to those rules and guidelines.
• Travel costs: You will not receive travel or daily allowance for attending the interview.

Application Submission Notes

The notice directs you to use www.iust.ac.in for the online application and also send a hardcopy to the Office, Department of Electrical Engineering, IUST. Both parts are required; the university does not accept another application mode.
