Quick Highlights

The organization is the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur, an Institute of National Importance under the Ministry of Education, located at NH 62, Nagaur Road, Karwar, Jodhpur, Rajasthan - 342030. Only Indian citizens can apply.

Important Dates

The dates below are taken directly from the three notifications. The veterinary post closes first, so candidates targeting it have the least time.

Advt. No. 64: 20 Regular Non-Faculty Posts

This is the largest of the three notices. It fills ten different posts on a regular basis, spread across Group A (6401 to 6403), Group B (6404 to 6408) and Group C (6409 and 6410). Each post has its own post code, and applicants must choose and apply to a specific one.

Vacancy Details and Pay Level

One post each of Counselor, Junior Superintendent and Senior Assistant is horizontally reserved for Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD), and one Senior Assistant post is horizontally reserved for Ex-Servicemen. The vacancy count is described as tentative, and IIT Jodhpur can increase it, decrease it, or leave any post unfilled.

Besides the basic pay of the level, each post carries allowances as per Institute rules, along with retirement or terminal benefits as per Institute rules.

Qualification and Experience by Post

Every post asks for a minimum percentage in the qualifying degree, and most ask for relevant experience in Central or State Government, an autonomous body or a PSU. The notification calls these requirements a bare minimum, so meeting them does not guarantee a call for the next stage.

Age Relaxation

The upper age limits in the vacancy table are relaxed as follows.

• SC and ST candidates: up to 5 years.
• OBC-NCL candidates: up to 3 years.
• Regular employees of IIT Jodhpur and other IITs: can be considered up to 50 years.
• Existing research and development (R and D) staff of IIT Jodhpur appointed through regular selections, staff of Section 8 companies set up by IIT Jodhpur, and outsourced IIT Jodhpur staff who are educationally qualified and have at least three years of continuous service: up to a maximum of 50 years.
• Ex-Servicemen: as per the DoPT compendium of instructions dated 25 December 2025 and applicable Government of India norms.
• PwBD candidates: 10 years (General), 13 years (OBC-NCL) and 15 years (SC or ST).

Three posts have been identified as suitable for Persons with Benchmark Disabilities. Counselor is open to blindness, low vision, hard of hearing, one arm, both arms, one leg, both legs, one arm and one leg, both legs and one arm, both legs and arms, cerebral palsy, leprosy cured, dwarfism and acid attack victims.

Senior Assistant has the same list as Junior Superintendent with autism spectrum disorder added. PwBD candidates must upload a Unique Disability ID (UDID) or proof of disability showing the percentage of disability.

Application Fee

The non-refundable fee is Rs. 1,000 for Group A posts and Rs. 500 for all other posts. No fee is charged from SC, ST, PwBD, EWS, Women and Ex-Serviceman candidates, or from internal candidates on regular appointment at IIT Jodhpur. A person applying for more than one post must apply separately for each and pay the fee for each.

Advt. No. 65: Registrar on Tenure or Deputation

The Registrar notice is a different kind of recruitment from the other two. It is a single unreserved Group A post (code 6501) at Pay Level 14, open to people from academic and administrative backgrounds as well as serving officers on deputation. The upper age limit is 57 years.

Tenure and Emoluments

The appointment is initially for 2 years and can be extended on an annual basis, subject to satisfactory performance, up to a maximum of 5 years. Gross emoluments include basic pay, DA, medical facility and transport allowance as per Institute norms.

A Master's degree in any discipline with at least 55% marks (or grade B in the UGC 7-point scale) is required, along with one of the following experience routes.

• At least 15 years as Assistant Professor in AGP of Rs. 7,000 (Academic Pay Level 11 and higher), or at least 8 years in AGP of Rs. 8,000 (Academic Pay Level 12 and higher, including Associate Professor), along with experience in educational administration.

They must also hold the educational qualification prescribed for the post.

Fee and Hard Copy Submission

The application fee is Rs. 1,000, with the same exemptions listed for the regular posts. What sets this advertisement apart is the postal step: after freezing the online form, the applicant must send a printout with documents to the Office of Recruitment (Non-Faculty) so that it is received by 15.11.2026. Applications whose complete hard copies do not arrive by that date will not be considered. Serving Government, semi-Government and PSU employees must also produce a No Objection Certificate and Vigilance Clearance from the present employer before the interview, and experience certificates must follow the prescribed Annexure-A format.

Advt. No. 66: Scientific Officer (Veterinary) on Contract

This is a single unreserved post (code 6601) for someone who will run the Institute's animal facility. It is purely contractual, and the notification is firm that selected candidates cannot claim regularization or absorption as an employee at any time.

Pay, Tenure and Age Limit

Eligibility

The essential requirements are a Master's degree in Veterinary and 5 years of experience in the specialized area. Desirable are experience in handling advanced scientific equipment and systems, veterinary or animal handling and breeding, and a demonstrated ability to write scientific documents and reports. The Institute may relax age, qualification or experience in exceptional cases, or for candidates already holding analogous positions in a university, research institute or industry.

• Anesthetizing animals for experimental procedures.

• Supervising BSL-2 experiments with faculty, staff and students.
• Facilitating IAEC meetings and reporting regularly to the Chairman, IAEC on the overall performance of the facility.

Selection Process

None of the three notices publishes an exam pattern or syllabus, so there is nothing to prepare from yet. What they do say is that IIT Jodhpur may hold a written test, a skill or trade test, and a presentation or interview, at its discretion and as per RPR-2021. If many applications arrive, the Institute may call only those with qualifications and experience above the minimum. The mode of scrutiny and testing is also the Institute's choice.

Applications are scrutinized on the basis of the information and documents submitted. Provisionally shortlisted candidates are those whose uploaded scans support their claims, and provisionally selected candidates must clear document verification before final selection. For the regular and Registrar posts, appointment is subject to medical fitness, and selected candidates for regular posts are placed on probation as per Institute norms. The Institute states that syllabus, shortlisting and schedule updates will appear on its website, and queries on these by email or phone will not be entertained.
