Mahatma Gandhi University Junior Software Developer Recruitment 2026 - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for skilled web developers with a Bachelor's, Master's, or Diploma in IT/Computer Science/Applications and at least 2 years of professional PHP development experience. Candidates proficient in core PHP, popular frameworks like Laravel/CodeIgniter, front-end technologies (CSS3, JavaScript, HTML5), OOP principles, and database management (MySQL/Maria DB/MSSQL) will be well-suited. It is particularly suitable for those seeking temporary, contract-based work within an academic institution.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a temporary contract position. Those with less than 2 years of professional PHP development experience or lacking expertise in the specified web technologies and database systems will not meet the eligibility criteria. Candidates unwilling to relocate to or work in Kottayam, Kerala, should also reconsider.

Mahatma Gandhi University is a reputable state university in Kerala, offering a stable and intellectually stimulating environment. While a contract position, it provides valuable professional experience in web application development within the public education sector. This can be a strong addition to a developer's resume, potentially opening doors for future contract or permanent roles within other government organizations or the university itself, leveraging experience gained in a public sector context.
