IIMB Professional Assistants - Library Recruitment 2026

This role is ideally suited for professionals holding a postgraduate degree in Library Science, Information Science, or Documentation Science. Candidates should have a minimum of 3 years of post-qualification experience in a library environment, coupled with strong IT and digital library management skills, including knowledge of classification standards, LMS, and information retrieval tools. The position requires both independent work and collaborative team skills.

Individuals lacking a relevant postgraduate qualification or without the stipulated 3 years of library experience (for the primary Professional Assistant role) may find themselves unsuitable. Those unfamiliar with modern library management systems, digital tools, and cataloguing standards will struggle. The contractual nature of the position may not appeal to candidates seeking permanent government employment.

Working at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB), a premier management institution and an Institute of National Importance in Asia, offers significant institutional prestige and exposure. Although the role is contractual, it provides invaluable experience within a top-tier academic setting, enhancing one's professional profile in the higher education sector.
