| Experience rules | Only full-time experience counts. The certificate must be on official letterhead, signed by the competent authority, and show your designation and pay. A single stint of less than six months is not counted. The institute decides what is relevant, and its decision is final. |

In short, the limit is 32 years for everyone, and the extra years for reserved categories follow the central government rulebook, which this notice does not repeat. The notice also does not say which date your age is counted on, so write to nteach.recruitment@iiitp.ac.in before applying if you are close to 32.
Not sure whether you are within the 32-year limit?
Enter your date of birth, the date you want to check against and your category relaxation to see whether you fall inside the limit. This notice gives no date for counting age, so try the last date to apply, 28.11.2026, and ask the institute to confirm.
Open the Age CalculatorWho Should Apply
- This is not a fresher job. Every post asks for work experience, and only full-time experience counts.
- Plan for the paperwork. Your application is valid only after a numbered, self-attested printed set reaches Talegaon by 09.12.2026, and the institute takes no blame for postal or courier delays, so post it well before the date.
- The written test and the practical test are held at the IIIT Pune campus in Talegaon, and no travel allowance is paid to candidates who attend them.
- If you already work for the government or a PSU (public sector undertaking), get your employer’s NOC and vigilance clearance ready early, because without them your application is not considered for the test.
- Junior Superintendent has 6 of the 8 seats, but it is the one post where the practical test is only pass or fail. The two Junior Engineer posts count both the written and the practical marks.
Selection Process
| Stage | Details |
|---|---|
| Screening | A screening committee checks every application against the minimum eligibility, using your printed copy and documents. It may ask for more papers and gives you 3 working days to reply. The provisional list of eligible candidates goes on iiitp.ac.in, and you get 3 working days from that date to raise queries by email. The final list follows. |
| Admit card | Sent through the recruitment portal or to your registered email, normally at least 21 days before the exam. Requests to change the exam date, time slot or centre are not accepted. |
| Written exam: Junior Superintendent | 100 marks, 90 minutes, objective (multiple-choice) questions, with 1/4 mark cut for each wrong answer. Part A, General Aptitude (40 marks): quantitative aptitude, reasoning, English and comprehension, general awareness and basic computer knowledge. Part B, Domain Knowledge (60 marks): the Constitution and how government works, office procedure, the Fundamental and Supplementary Rules (the basic service rules for government staff), CCS leave, conduct and disciplinary rules, pay, allowances and pension (including NPS), General Financial Rules 2017 and procurement (including GeM), the RTI Act and other Acts, higher education policy including NEP 2020, and e-office and digitisation. The notification says the topic list is not limited to these. The cut-off (the minimum marks you must score) to reach the practical test is 50% for GEN, OBC and EWS and 45% for SC and ST. |
| Written exam: Junior Engineer (Civil) | 50 marks, 60 minutes, objective questions, with 1/4 mark cut for each wrong answer. All questions are Domain Knowledge: building materials, concrete, building construction, estimating and costing, contracts, surveying, soil and foundation engineering, roads and transport, environmental engineering, structures and reinforced concrete (RCC) design, and General Financial Rules for works. The list is not limited to these. |
| Written exam: Junior Engineer (Electrical) | 50 marks, 60 minutes, objective questions, with 1/4 mark cut for each wrong answer. All questions are Domain Knowledge: basic electrical concepts, measuring instruments, DC machines and transformers, power generation, transmission and distribution, switchgear and protection, estimation and costing, contracts, use of electrical energy, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning), waste management, and General Financial Rules for works. The list is not limited to these. |
| Shortlisting for the practical test | The institute decides how many candidates move ahead. Up to 8 times the number of advertised posts can be shortlisted. |
| Job Oriented Practical Test (JoPT): Junior Superintendent | 50 marks, 60 minutes. Pass or fail only: you need at least 50%, and the marks are not added to your merit score. It tests drafting, documentation and data entry on MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint, for work common in an academic or research institute. |
| Job Oriented Practical Test (JoPT): Junior Engineer (Civil) | 50 marks, 60 minutes, counted in the final merit. Estimating, measuring quantities and costing; surveying; testing of materials (cement, concrete, brick, aggregates); contracts. |
| Job Oriented Practical Test / Trade Test: Junior Engineer (Electrical) | 50 marks, 60 minutes, counted in the final merit. Transformers; switchgear; HT and LT cables; home and commercial wiring; choosing UPS and DG sets and their kVA rating; contracts. |
| Final merit list | Junior Superintendent: ranked on the written exam marks out of 100, provided you also pass the practical test. Junior Engineers: ranked on written plus practical marks, out of 100. If marks are tied, the order is higher Domain Knowledge marks in the written exam, then more relevant experience in a government institution, then older age, then alphabetical order of first name. The institute may keep a waiting list valid for 1 year. |
| After selection | One year of probation (a trial period), which can be extended. You become a regular employee after you complete it satisfactorily. |
In short, everyone sits a written exam first and then a practical test. For Junior Superintendent the practical test is pass or fail and does not change your rank, while for the two Junior Engineer posts the written and practical marks are added together.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not stop after the online form. The institute decides eligibility only from the printed copy, and it must arrive by 5:30 PM on 09.12.2026.
- Write down your Samarth Form No. as soon as you submit, because the institute will not answer requests about a lost number and you need it for the written test and on the envelope.
- Check every detail before you submit, because a submitted form cannot be changed or sent again.
- Number every page and keep the papers in the Annexure IV order, since incomplete applications or ones without the right documents can be rejected without notice.
- If you already hold a government or PSU job, attach the NOC and vigilance clearance, or your application will not be considered for the test.
- Get your experience certificate on letterhead with your designation and pay, because a certificate without them does not meet the rule, and a single stint under six months is not counted.
