IITGN Project Attendant SAMARTH Recruitment 2026

IITGN Project Attendant Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IIT Gandhinagar) is hiring one Project Attendant through its Research and Development Office. The post sits in the Department of Electrical Engineering under Prof. Nihar Ranjan Mohapatra, who leads the Silicon and Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Research and Training Hub (SAMARTH) project.

This is a temporary project position, not a regular institute post. The work is hands-on: you will help keep the project's laboratories and cleanroom facility running day to day. It suits a diploma holder who has already spent a couple of years around lab tools and equipment and wants experience inside a semiconductor research setup at an IIT campus in Gujarat.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Tenure: The appointment is for one year, and it can be extended only if your performance is found satisfactory.
• Consolidated pay: You get a consolidated monthly amount fixed within the advertised range based on your qualification; there is no separate pay scale.
• Which rules apply: Eligibility follows IIT Gandhinagar's institute norms, not the funding agency's norms.
• Marks threshold: The institute asks for a minimum percentage or equivalent grade in Class 10, Class 12 and later qualifications — check yours before you apply.
• Shortlisting: Meeting the minimum eligibility does not guarantee a call. The institute may apply a higher cut-off and may choose not to fill the position in this round.
• Safety-first work: The job involves cleanroom and lab safety protocols, including safe handling of chemicals and gases, so prior exposure to these practices helps.
