IIT Madras Recruitment 2026: Apply for 01 Legal Consultant Post

This role is ideally suited for law graduates (LLB, preferably 2023/2024 batch, with an LLM being an added advantage) who have successfully cleared the All India Bar Examination (AIBE). Candidates should possess a minimum of 2 years of experience in litigation or corporate legal departments, demonstrating strong proficiency in English and negotiation skills. It's perfect for those seeking a focused, contractual legal role within a prestigious academic and research environment.

Individuals looking for permanent government employment or those without the mandatory 2 years of relevant legal experience post-qualification should not apply. Additionally, candidates who have not cleared the AIBE are ineligible. Those seeking a broader legal practice rather than a specific institutional consultancy role might find this less suitable.

Working as a Legal Consultant at IIT Madras offers significant prestige and exposure to legal frameworks within a top-tier Indian educational and research institution, specifically within its Industrial Consultancy and Sponsored Research (IC&SR) office. While the role is initially contractual for one year, extendable based on performance, it provides valuable experience that can bolster a legal professional's resume, particularly for those interested in institutional or research-related legal affairs.
