Eligibility Criteria
| Criterion | Detail |
|---|---|
| Who can apply on deputation | Serving officials of Central or State Government, autonomous bodies, statutory authorities, public sector undertakings (PSUs) and public sector banks (PSBs) |
| Who can apply on contract | Citizens of India who meet the qualifications and age limits in the Recruitment Rules (2019) for NIT non-teaching posts |
| Age counted on | 04.11.2026, the closing date of the online application. Qualifications and experience are also checked as on this date. Check your age eligibility → |
| Age limit on deputation | Not more than 56 years as on the closing date |
| Age relaxation | For SC, ST, OBC, PwBD (persons with benchmark disability) and Ex-Servicemen, as per Government of India guidelines. The notice gives no year-wise table. |
| Application restriction | One separate application, with its own fee, for each post you apply for |
| Conduct | You must not have been convicted by any court of law |
| Post | Educational Qualification (Recruitment Rules 2019) | Age Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Superintendent | First Class Bachelor’s Degree in any discipline, or a Master’s Degree in any discipline with at least 50% marks. You must also know computer applications such as word processing and spreadsheets. | 30 years |
| Technical Assistant | First Class B.E. / B.Tech. / MCA in the relevant subject; or a First Class Diploma in Engineering in the relevant field with an excellent academic record; or a First Class Bachelor’s Degree in Science; or a Master’s Degree in Science with at least 50% marks. | 30 years |
| Technician (SG-II) | The Recruitment Rules fill this post by promotion or deputation, not direct recruitment. For deputation: 10+2 with Science and 60% marks; or 10+2 with 50% marks plus a 1-year ITI course; or 10th with 60% marks plus a 2-year ITI; or a 3-year Engineering Diploma. You also need to hold a similar post or have 5 years of regular service as Senior Technician. | Not applicable under the Rules |
| Technician | 10+2 with Science and 60% marks; or 10+2 with 50% marks plus a 1-year or longer ITI course in the trade; or 10th with 60% marks plus a 2-year ITI in the trade; or a 3-year Engineering Diploma in the relevant field. | 27 years |
| Junior Assistant | 10+2 from a recognised board, a typing speed of at least 35 words per minute, and proficiency in computer word processing and spreadsheets. Other computer skills and stenography are an advantage. | 27 years |
In short: the age limits above are for people applying from outside, and they stretch with the relaxations you qualify for. If you are already in government service and apply on deputation, the limit that counts is 56 years. Your qualification must still match the post.
Selection Process
| Stage | Details |
|---|---|
| 1. Application | Apply online, then send the printed form with self-attested documents to the Registrar. Incomplete forms and forms without the needed papers are rejected. |
| 2. Written Test | A written test in your field of specialisation or trade. The notice does not state marks, duration or number of questions. |
| 3. Trade Test | A practical test in your trade. Only the top N candidates in the written test are called, where N is the number of posts multiplied by 6. The test is held in the relevant specialisation or trade. |
| 4. Merit List | NIT prepares the merit list from the Written Test and the Trade Test. The notice does not state the weightage of each. |
| 5. Document Verification | Bring the originals and one set of self-attested copies. Carry your admit card and a valid photo ID to the tests. |
In short: you sit the written test first. Only the top six candidates for each post go on to the trade test, and the final merit list counts both tests. NIT will not send you a call letter. The shortlist appears only on nituk.ac.in, so check the site often.
Salary and Benefits
| Post | Pay on Deputation | Pay on Contract |
|---|---|---|
| Superintendent | Level 6 of the pay matrix: Rs 35,400 to Rs 1,12,400 | Rs 57,000 a month, consolidated |
| Technical Assistant | Level 6: Rs 35,400 to Rs 1,12,400 | Rs 57,000 a month, consolidated |
| Technician (SG-II) | Level 5: Rs 29,200 to Rs 92,300 | Rs 47,000 a month, consolidated |
| Technician | Not offered on deputation | Rs 35,000 a month, consolidated |
| Junior Assistant | Not offered on deputation | Rs 35,000 a month, consolidated (shown in one merged cell with Technician in the notice) |
| Other terms | Pay and conditions follow DoPT OM No. 6/8/2009-Estt.(Pay-II) dated 17.06.2010, as amended | No Travelling Allowance (TA) for attending the selection process |
In plain terms: a pay level is a government pay grade, and consolidated means one fixed monthly amount. Contract staff get that single amount. Deputation staff are paid under the central government’s deputation rules, which the notice names but does not spell out.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Filing one form for two posts. NIT wants a separate application, and a separate fee, for every post.
- Applying online and stopping there. The printed copy must reach the Registrar by 11.11.2026, 5:30 PM, and NIT does not accept postal delay as an excuse.
- Attaching an OBC or EWS certificate issued before 01.04.2026. It will not count for reservation.
- Uploading a disability certificate showing less than 40%. NIT rejects it for the reservation.
- Applying on deputation without a NOC. If you send only an advance copy, you can sit the tests only if you bring the NOC.
- Waiting for a call letter. NIT says it will not send any separate message, so check nituk.ac.in for the shortlist.
