ERNET India Project Engineer Level 01 Recruitment 2026 (1 Vacancy)

This role is ideal for fresh graduates or early-career professionals holding a B.Tech/BE, MCA, or M.Sc in Electronics, IT, Computer Science, or related disciplines. Candidates with a foundational understanding of domain management, payment gateways, open-source technologies (PHP, Drupal), SQL, and database management will find this opportunity suitable. It is particularly well-suited for individuals seeking an entry point into a government-backed IT organization on a contract basis, looking to gain experience in a project-oriented environment in Delhi.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or roles with a large number of vacancies should not apply, as this position is contractual for a single vacancy. Those looking for senior roles requiring significant prior experience (though experience is a plus, it's not a mandatory prerequisite for this Level 01 post) or a higher pay scale might find this role unsuitable. Applicants who are not comfortable with a project-based, potentially transferable role within ERNET India will also find this a mismatch.

Working with ERNET India, an autonomous society under the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology, GoI, offers valuable exposure to national-level IT infrastructure projects. While the role is contractual, it provides a solid foundation and experience within a government ecosystem, which can be a stepping stone for future opportunities in public sector IT. The scope involves contributing to critical digital services like domain name registration and portal management, offering significant learning and professional development for an early career stage.
