Indian Institute of Technology Delhi Recruitment 2026: 01 Sr. Project Assistant (Admin.) Vacancy

This role is ideal for experienced administrative and accounting professionals with a postgraduate degree in Commerce. The ideal candidate will have substantial experience (11+ years, including 5 years in accounts and 6 years as an Administrative Assistant) within government or educational institutions, strong proficiency in office procedures, digital administration tools (like GeM portal, e-Admin, e-Office), website management, and basic video editing skills. Individuals seeking to contribute to a prestigious research environment on a project basis will find this opportunity suitable.

Candidates lacking a Postgraduate degree in Commerce or the mandatory 11 years of specified administrative and accounting experience in government/educational sectors should not apply. Those unfamiliar with government office protocols, procurement processes (especially GeM), or modern digital office tools may also struggle. As this is a contractual position, applicants seeking permanent employment may find it unsuitable.

Working at IIT Delhi, a globally recognized institution, even in a project-based role, offers significant prestige and exposure to a high-caliber academic and research environment. This position provides invaluable experience in managing the administrative and financial aspects of sponsored research projects. While direct long-term growth within this specific project role might be limited by its duration, the experience gained at such an institution is highly transferrable and can significantly boost future career prospects in the government, education, or research sectors.
