Work Culture & Environment

Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

Institute of Engineering & Technology (IET) is a premier engineering college established and run directly by the University of Calicut on its main campus in Thenhipalam, Malappuram district, Kerala. Instructors in the Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) department supervise undergraduate engineering students during laboratory practical sessions, manage electrical machines, circuits, and power electronics laboratories, set up practical test apparatus, and maintain workshop equipment and safety protocols. Work timings adhere to university academic hours (typically 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM on university working days).

Posting & Transfer Policy

Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.

The engagement is purely temporary on a daily wage basis for a period of 179 days, or until fresh contract/regular appointments are made, or until the regular incumbent returns from leave, whichever is earlier. Place of posting is IET campus, University of Calicut, Thenhipalam, Kerala. Daily wage engagement does not confer any claim or right for regular appointment, permanent absorption, or service regularization.

Career & Promotion Ladder

Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.

As a temporary daily wage engagement with a monthly remuneration ceiling of Rs. 16,500/-, there is no departmental promotion or seniority ladder. However, instructional experience in an established university engineering college provides valuable teaching experience certificates for permanent Kerala Public Service Commission (Kerala PSC) recruitments for Workshop Instructor, Demonstrator, and Tradesman posts in Government Engineering Colleges and Polytechnics across Kerala.
