IIT Patna Recruitment 2026: Apply for 1 Contractual Counsellor Post

This role is ideal for experienced postgraduates in Psychology with a PG Diploma or certificate in counselling, seeking a temporary but impactful position within a prestigious academic institution. Candidates should be comfortable with a contractual engagement for an initial 10-month period, and willing to be available on a 24x7 basis if required. Those looking to leverage their expertise in student welfare and mental health support within a dynamic academic environment will find this suitable.

Individuals seeking a permanent government position or those unable to commit to a contractual term of 10 months should not apply. The consolidated pay of Rs. 50,000/- per month without additional TA/DA for joining might be a dealbreaker for some. Those preferring a strict 9-5 job without on-call availability should also reconsider.

Working with IIT Patna offers significant institutional prestige, enhancing one's professional resume within a nationally important institute. While the role is contractual with no guarantee of absorption, it provides valuable experience in a premier educational setting, which can be highly beneficial for future career prospects in counselling or psychology, particularly within the public sector.
