IIM Raipur Deputy Financial Advisor & Chief Accounts Officer Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly experienced finance professionals, particularly Chartered Accountants or Cost and Management Accountants, with a minimum of eight years of post-qualification experience. Candidates with a background in government, semi-government, PSUs, or autonomous educational institutions, especially those with prior experience at Pay Level 8 or above, will find this position highly suitable. The ideal candidate should possess strong expertise in financial management, budgeting, audit, taxation, and statutory compliance, coupled with proficiency in ERP/PFMS and MS Office tools. This is a senior contract-based role within a prestigious national institute.

Candidates with less than eight years of post-qualification experience, or those without CA/CMA qualifications, should not apply. Individuals seeking permanent government employment might find the fixed-term contractual nature (3 years) a dealbreaker, as it explicitly states no right to regularization. Those without significant experience at a senior level (Pay Level 8 equivalent) in finance and accounts, especially within the public/autonomous sector, are unlikely to be shortlisted.

IIM Raipur is an Institute of National Importance under the Ministry of Education, Government of India, offering a highly prestigious platform for a senior finance professional. While the position is contractual, it offers invaluable experience in managing the financial affairs of a leading educational institution. This role provides significant responsibility and exposure, potentially opening doors to similar leadership positions in the broader autonomous and government sector. The opportunity for pay protection for deserving candidates from government/autonomous institutes further enhances its appeal.
