IIIT Surat Recruitment 2026: 15 Assistant Professor (CSE) Vacancies

This role is ideal for highly qualified Indian Nationals holding a PhD in Computer Science & Engineering or a relevant discipline, with a consistent first-class academic record at both B.Tech/BE and M.Tech/ME levels. Candidates should demonstrate strong research aptitude, evidenced by at least two published or accepted research papers in SCI/SSCI or Scopus indexed journals. Preference will be given to those with a GATE qualified score, ongoing research projects, patents, consultancy experience, prestigious awards, or industry collaboration experience. Candidates must be eager to contribute to an Institute of National Importance in teaching, research, and collaborative endeavors. PwD candidates will receive preference if found suitable.

Individuals without a PhD in a relevant engineering discipline or those who do not meet the specified academic performance criteria (first class at all required levels) should not apply. A lack of demonstrable research output (specifically two journal publications as per the criteria) could be a significant dealbreaker. Candidates who fail to submit both the online Google Form application and the hard copy of the application along with required documents by the deadline will be summarily rejected. Additionally, those seeking a position purely for teaching without interest in research or institutional development may find the expectations challenging.

As an Assistant Professor at IIIT Surat, an Institute of National Importance operating under the Ministry of Education, Government of India, this position offers significant prestige and a robust platform for career growth. The institute's focus on UG, PG, and PhD programs in Engineering & Technology, coupled with industry partnerships, provides ample opportunities for cutting-edge research, consultancy, and collaboration. This role is a stepping stone for academics aiming for long-term engagement and career progression within a prominent central government educational institution, offering a stable and intellectually stimulating environment with competitive pay and benefits.
