Indian Institute of Technology Tirupati Recruitment 2026: 01 Project Manager Vacancy

This role is ideally suited for professionals with a strong academic background in Engineering (UG with 4 years) or a Postgraduate degree (non-engineering) with at least 2 years of relevant experience. Candidates with an M.E./M. Tech in Engineering are also eligible. The ideal applicant will possess experience in reputed institutions, specifically managing sponsored and industrial projects, and be adept at grant identification, industry liaison, and project administration within a research-intensive environment. This contractual position offers an opportunity to work at a premier institute, making it suitable for those seeking specialized experience in academic research and consultancy management.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a full-time contractual position initially for one year, renewable at the institute's discretion. Candidates who do not meet the minimum educational qualifications or lack the specified 2 years of experience in relevant project management will not be considered. Those unwilling to relocate to Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, for this role should also consider other options.

Working as a Project Manager at the Centre for Sponsored Research and Consultancy (CSRC) within an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) carries significant institutional prestige. It provides an excellent platform for exposure to cutting-edge research, technology transfer, and industry collaboration within a dynamic academic setting. While contractual, the experience gained here can be invaluable for career advancement in research administration, project management, or leadership roles within academic and industrial R&D sectors across India.
