Work Culture & Environment
Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.
NIT Uttarakhand is an Institute of National Importance situated in the serene Himalayan foothills of Srinagar (Garhwal), Uttarakhand. The Counsellor operates within the Student Welfare Section under the Dean of Student Welfare (DSW). The core responsibility focuses on providing psychological counseling and emotional support to undergraduate (B.Tech), postgraduate (M.Tech), and Ph.D. scholars facing academic stress, transition challenges, hostel life issues, and personal anxiety. The work atmosphere is collegiate, ethical, and collaborative, with standard institutional office hours (9:00 AM to 5:30 PM on working days) and need-based availability for acute student distress intervention.
Posting & Transfer Policy
Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.
Contractual appointment for an initial period of one year from the date of appointment at the Srinagar (Garhwal) campus. While the engagement does not confer any right to regular employment or permanent absorption, contractual tenure at National Institutes of Technology is frequently renewed annually based on ongoing institutional requirements, budget allocation, and satisfactory annual appraisals.
Career & Promotion Ladder
Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.
This is an independent contractual professional role without an automatic hierarchical cadre promotion ladder. However, serving as an institutional counsellor at a premier technical institution provides high-value clinical and developmental experience for securing regular Group-A Student Welfare / Psychological Officer positions across IITs, NITs, and Central Universities. Acquiring a Ph.D. during the tenure entitles the counsellor to the higher pay band of Rs. 70,000/- per month.
