Service Conditions and Caveats

• Initial engagement: The contract runs for up to three years or until the project ends, whichever comes first. It does not create a claim to a regular C-DAC appointment.
• Extension: Continued engagement depends on your performance, project needs and the remaining project period.
• Mobility: Although every role entry names Bangalore, C-DAC may assign you to another project or transfer you to a project location elsewhere in India.
• Separate applications: If you want to be considered for more than one post, each needs its own application.
• Recruitment changes: C-DAC may revise staffing requirements, restrict the recruitment or cancel it under the conditions in the advertisement.
• Travel costs: C-DAC will not pay travel or daily allowance for attending recruitment proceedings.
• Internal applicants: A selected internal candidate must resign from the current engagement and join the new post as a fresh employee.
• Communication: Call letters and individual correspondence are sent by email. Check C-DAC's website for any amendment or extension.
