Six posts are Assistant Professor Grade I, at Pay Level 12, with three unreserved, one OBC, one SC and one EWS vacancy. Eleven posts are Assistant Professor Grade II, at Pay Level 10, with six unreserved, four OBC and one EWS vacancy, and these Grade II appointments are contractual.

IIIT Pune is an Institute of National Importance, established in 2016 by the Ministry of Education with industry partners under a not-for-profit public-private partnership model. The institute said additional shortlisting criteria are based on research publications, institutional background and relevant experience, alongside the essential qualifications set out below.

Who can apply for the IIIT Pune teaching posts

For both teaching grades, applicants must hold a PhD in the relevant or equivalent discipline, along with first-class performance in their preceding degrees. Where an institution does not define first class, at least 60 per cent marks or a 6.5 CGPA will be treated as first class. For Assistant Professor Grade II, the PhD is the prescribed essential qualification, with no minimum experience or credit-point requirement stated.

For Assistant Professor Grade I, candidates must hold a PhD and either three years of post-PhD experience or six years of total teaching and research experience in eligible institutions, research laboratories or relevant industries. They must also satisfy a requirement of 20 cumulative essential credit points. A separate application and fee are needed for each post and department applied for, and the teaching fee, including 18 per cent GST, is Rs. 2,360 per department per post for General, OBC and EWS candidates and Rs. 1,180 for SC, ST, female and PwBD candidates. Regular IIIT Pune employees are exempt from the fee.

IIIT Pune non-teaching posts and eligibility

The non-teaching recruitment covers eight Group B posts, all at Pay Level 6 under the Seventh Central Pay Commission: six Junior Superintendent posts, one Junior Engineer (Civil) post and one Junior Engineer (Electrical) post. For Junior Superintendent, applicants must hold a first-class bachelor's degree with six years of relevant experience, or a postgraduate qualification with four years of relevant experience. For the Junior Engineer posts, applicants must hold an engineering degree in the relevant discipline with two years of experience, or an engineering diploma with five years of relevant experience.

The upper age limit for the advertised non-teaching posts is 32 years, subject to applicable relaxations. The non-teaching fee is Rs. 1,180 for UR, OBC and EWS candidates and Rs. 885 for SC, ST, female and PwBD candidates, and regular IIIT Pune employees are again exempt. Candidates should confirm the reservation position in the detailed non-teaching notification before applying.

IIIT Pune recruitment 2026 selection process

For teaching posts, eligible candidates will be screened and shortlisted on the institute's criteria and departmental requirements. Shortlisted candidates will undergo document verification and an offline written test at the IIIT Pune campus. The written test is qualifying in nature, while final selection will depend on performance in the research and teaching presentation and interview that follow it.

For non-teaching posts, the selection process includes screening, a written examination and a job-oriented practical test, with the applicable assessment scheme varying by post. Applicants employed by government bodies, public sector undertakings or educational institutions should apply through the proper channel or provide the required No Objection Certificate and vigilance clearance certificate before the online deadline.

For readers in Nepal, this is an Indian institute recruitment: apply only through the two official Samarth portals named above, pay only the fee stated in the notification, and treat any agent who promises a post, or asks for payment outside the official route, as fraud. No third-party page can file an IIIT Pune application on a candidate's behalf, and the institute's own notification, not a job-board summary, is the final word on eligibility and documents.

Growentix also covers the IBPS direct recruitment for Server Administrator, Assistant and Programming Assistant posts and the Bharat Electronics Limited probationary engineer recruitment for 350 posts. The IIIT Pune reporting here is drawn from the Edex Live report on the IIIT Pune notification and the FacultyVacancy listing for the 17 Assistant Professor posts, which agree on the post counts, pay levels, dates and fees; candidates should verify the specialisations and eligibility conditions in the detailed advertisement on the official IIIT Pune website.
