IIT Kanpur workshop Project Technician: deadline extended to 15 October
Two Electrical Engineering workshop positions are contractual project posts, with an extended application deadline.
IIT Kanpur advertisement P.Rect./R&D/2026/194 invites applications for two contractual Project Technician positions; its original 1 October deadline is extended to 15 October 2026. Check qualification and experience together before preparing your submission.
An existing advertisement with an extension
Checked on 14 October: the official technical-staff index records a 23 September posting date, and the original advertisement repeats the 15 October extension. The roles support the Electrical Engineering workshop. This is contractual project employment at a public institute, not a promise of a permanent government cadre appointment.
Who meets the stated qualification
The notice specifies a three-year Engineering Diploma with four years of relevant experience, or High School with ITI and nine years of relevant experience. Duties include workshop machinery operation, fabrication support, maintenance and records. Read the full desirable-experience list rather than treating any diploma or ITI qualification as enough without the required experience.
Submission route
Use the biodata form linked from the authority advertisement and send the completed form, cover letter and supporting documents by post or by hand to Abhilash Patel, Room 610, ESB-2, IIT Kanpur, Kanpur 208016, Uttar Pradesh. The envelope should identify the Project Technician application. A fee, exact closing hour, age limit and contract duration were not established in the checked notice; this summary does not guess them.
Prepare for the close deadline
Our recommendation is to check relevant experience evidence before arranging delivery. Describe the machines and workshop responsibilities you have actually handled rather than copying the vacancy's duties as claimed experience. Keep a complete personal copy of your submission and confirm current instructions through the linked advertisement. The extended deadline should not be interpreted as an instruction to post at the last moment; allow time for delivery or follow the specified hand-submission route. Selection and eligibility decisions remain with the institute.
