The original advertisement is for the DRDO Industry-Academia Centre of Excellence at IIT Kanpur. It gives one position and project reference DRDO/DORD/2022369/2026/ProjTech. This is temporary project employment, not a permanent government cadre appointment. The article's publication date does not alter the authority's advertisement or its conditions.
Qualification and equipment experience
The minimum qualification wording specifies a three-year diploma or appropriate graduate degree, or a relevant two-year ITI with six years' relevant experience. The separate desirable qualifications must not be confused with that minimum wording. Candidates need materials-processing equipment experience in a laboratory or research environment; the source mentions furnaces, cutting or compression equipment and sample preparation.
Salary, duration and submission
The stated pay is ₹20,000 plus HRA with a 3% annual increment. The temporary term is one year, with the stated provision for two extensions or project end, whichever is earlier. Send hard copies with the reference, cover letter and required certificates to Dr Kantesh Balani, Faculty Building Room 413, Materials Science and Engineering, IIT Kanpur 208016. Receipt closes 28 October at 5PM. A fee, age limit and exact application-opening hour are not specified in the checked notice.
Prepare an accurate laboratory application
Our recommendation is to describe the equipment you have actually operated, the sample-preparation tasks performed and maintenance responsibilities you can substantiate. Keep qualifications and experience evidence separate so the recruiter can check both. Do not copy desirable skills into your work history unless they are accurate. Plan delivery against the receipt deadline rather than posting on the final day. Keep a complete copy and use the official notice for any later instruction. Minimum eligibility alone does not confirm an interview or appointment.
