Who Should Apply

  • This is a temporary job, not a regular government post. The contract is for 6 months at first and can be extended by another 6 months if your work is satisfactory, and the notice says no one can claim an appointment letter as a right.
  • The pay is one fixed amount of Rs 29,300 a month, and the notice lists no other allowances.
  • The interview is held in person at NIT Goa in Cuncolim, South Goa, and the selected candidate must be ready to join immediately. Apply only if you can reach Goa and start work quickly.
  • The post sits in the purchase section, the office that buys goods and services for the institute. Experience there is preferred, but the notice calls it desirable, not compulsory, and Class 12 is enough to apply.
  • NIT Goa advertised this same temporary post earlier, in January 2025 and again in March 2026, when the last date was 31.03.2026. This notice is a fresh one with its own last date of 19.11.2026.
