NIT Calicut advertises two full-time contractual Counselling Psychologist positions. Online applications run 15 October 5PM to 29 October 2026 at 5:30 PM, followed by the required document email.
Original contract notice
Checked on 18 October: advertisement P 1/430/Psycho/Adhoc/2026 is dated 13 October. It lists two positions at NIT Calicut and clearly states that these temporary contract appointments are not regular institute posts.
Qualification and experience
The qualification routes include the listed psychology master's specialisations or MSW specialised in psychiatry or mental health, with two years' counselling experience. RCI-recognised qualifications and registration are preferred. Read the original distinctions between required and preferred credentials rather than assuming a short counselling course meets the requirement.
Pay, dates and two-step submission
The stated consolidated monthly pay is ₹40,000–₹60,000 depending on qualification and experience. The initial term is one year with conditional extension. Apply at recruit.nitc.ac.in and email the submitted form and required supporting documents to rectnf@nitc.ac.in within five days of closing. The portal closes 29 October at 5:30 PM. Fees are ₹250 for SC/ST/women/ESM/PwBD applicants and ₹500 for others.
Prepare professional evidence carefully
Use accurate descriptions of counselling experience and keep client identities or confidential case records out of application samples. Explain the setting, supervision and responsibilities you can substantiate. The notice's emphasis on boundaries and confidentiality matters to the work; an application should demonstrate professionalism without reproducing sensitive consultations.
What completion means
A saved online draft is not the same as a completed application, paid fee and required document email. Keep the submitted form and transaction record, check that attached certificates are readable, and follow later institute notices. No subsequent correction was established during this check. Eligibility and paying a fee do not guarantee selection; the institute makes the recruitment decision.
