IIT Madras 2026 Recruitment: 1 Vacancy for Senior Administrative Assistant

This role is ideal for experienced administrative professionals with a strong background in Computer Science or Computer Applications (UG/Non-Engg PG), possessing at least 5 years of relevant administrative experience. Candidates with prior exposure to research center environments and excellent organizational and communication skills are particularly well-suited for this project-based position at a prestigious institution.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely contractual position with no guarantee of extension or permanency. Those without the specified educational qualifications (UG/PG in CS/CA or non-engineering PG in CS/CA) and a minimum of 5 years of administrative experience will not meet the eligibility criteria. Candidates who cannot commit to the online application process by the deadline (May 11, 2026) should also refrain from applying.

Working at IIT Madras, an Institution of National Importance, offers a valuable opportunity to gain experience in a highly respected academic and research environment. This position within the Office of Industrial Consultancy and Sponsored Research (ICSR) and the DRDO Industry Academia - Ramanujan Centre of Excellence (DIA-RCoE) provides exposure to high-level administrative tasks in a critical area of institutional operations. While contractual, the experience gained could significantly enhance a candidate's profile for future roles in research administration or similar institutional settings, albeit with no inherent long-term career path within this specific post.
