IIM Visakhapatnam CEESP Recruitment 2026: 3 Contract Vacancies for Manager & Research Associate

This role is ideal for professionals holding a Bachelor's degree (essential) or a Post-Graduate degree/MBA (preferable) with demonstrated work experience in entrepreneurship, social work, or the development sector. Candidates with prior experience in managing centres/projects and strong communication skills will find the Manager position highly suitable. For Research Associate, individuals with academic or policy research experience and exposure to the entrepreneurship ecosystem are well-suited. These are fixed-term contract positions offering engagement with a prestigious national institute's Centre of Excellence.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these are fixed-term contract roles. Those without relevant work experience in the specified fields, particularly for the Manager position, may find it challenging. Candidates exceeding 35 years of age (without eligible government relaxations) are ineligible. The limited number of vacancies also means high competition.

IIM Visakhapatnam is a premier national institute of management, offering a high-prestige environment. Working with the Centre of Excellence in Entrepreneurial Skills and Policy (CEESP) provides significant exposure to cutting-edge research and development in entrepreneurship, bridging academia, industry, and government. While a fixed-term contract, it offers valuable experience and networking opportunities that can enhance one's professional trajectory in the entrepreneurship ecosystem.
