The positions are based at the Bharti School of Telecommunication Technology & Management, IIT Delhi (Hauz Khas campus), operating under the Industrial Research & Development (IRD) Unit. The administrative assistants work under the Principal Investigator (Prof. Manav Bhatnagar) to handle day-to-day academic administration, coordinating conferences, symposiums, guest lectures, and faculty meetings. Duties include maintaining student and financial records, liaising with IIT Delhi central administration/IRD accounts, processing project purchase orders and vendor bills, managing department inventories, and updating web pages.

Posting & Transfer Policy

Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.

Appointment is on a contractual basis, renewable yearly or up to the duration of the project (initially up to 31/03/2027), whichever is earlier.

Career & Promotion Ladder
