IIT Delhi Consultant (JE-Civil & JE-Electrical) Recruitment 2026 — Estate & Works, Six Contract Positions

Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi) invites applications for six Type-III Consultant assignments supporting the Estate & Works Section at Hauz Khas, New Delhi. The opportunities fall into two distinct streams: four Consultant (JE-Civil) positions and two Consultant (JE-Electrical) positions. Recruitment Cell advertisement Rectt./35/2026(W) is dated 11 November 2026. The completed prescribed form and supporting PDF documents must reach recruitmentcell@admin.iitd.ac.in by 1 December 2026. This is an email application, not an online registration portal and not a postal submission.

The appointment is initially for one year and may be extended by up to two more years only if the institute needs the service and the consultant's performance is found satisfactory. The term is explicitly temporary: selection does not establish a right to regular IIT Delhi employment. The announced consolidated remuneration band is ₹50,000–₹80,000 per month, but an individual offer is subject to both the candidate's competence and a separate 20%-above-previous-remuneration ceiling explained below.

1. Vacancy allocation: choose the stream that matches your work

🥧 Vacancy share by engineering assignment

The advertisement identifies six assignments in total, not a separate batch of six for each discipline. The notice does not publish a UR/SC/ST/OBC/EWS seat roster; no category-wise seats should be presumed. The institute may increase, decrease, postpone or cancel these assignments at its discretion.

2. Recognised degrees, percentage and relevant experience

The accepted academic disciplines in the shared essential-qualification clause are Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electrical & Electronics Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. An applicant must have B.Tech./B.E. or an equivalent higher degree, obtained from a recognised institute or university, with at least 60% marks or equivalent CGPA. These are alternatives in the recognised engineering fields; candidates are not required to hold four different degrees.

The recruitment title differentiates JE-Civil and JE-Electrical assignments, while the advertisement prints one common qualification list for the Consultant category. Applicants should therefore state both their exact academic branch and the practical field of expertise for which they seek consideration. The institute's screening committee decides relevance; do not treat a degree in one of the named fields as an unconditional guarantee of suitability for either assignment.

The one year of experience is post-qualification. IIT Delhi seeks work in operation, maintenance, supervision and/or execution of civil, electrical or mechanical services. Experience in a large institutional, commercial or industrial establishment is preferred, not a separate mandatory employer type. Provide dates of employment, nature of responsibilities and documentary support. The prescribed form asks for employer, designation, duration, work specialisation and remuneration. It also asks for the highest pay drawn and a salary slip where applicable.

The reference date for age, education and relevant experience is 1 December 2026. The notice specifies an age below 40, so applicants already 40 on that date do not satisfy the published general age condition. No separate category-wise relaxation table is provided in this two-page advertisement; do not assume a number of years of relaxation.

3. JE-Civil: buildings, infrastructure and campus maintenance

The Civil assignment centres on new building construction, maintenance and renovation, including roads, drainage and water-supply works. It also covers the preparation of estimates and design work. A convincing application should make the candidate's actual involvement clear: what was constructed or maintained, whether the applicant supervised contractors or execution, and whether they handled quantity/estimate or design responsibilities. Experience claims should match the attached certificates rather than generic job-title descriptions.

A degree in the notification's listed disciplines plus one year of relevant post-qualification civil/electrical/mechanical-services experience is the shared threshold. However, the work allocation points to civil projects and upkeep of built infrastructure. Candidates whose experience is mainly mechanical or electrical should honestly specify which civil/infrastructure duties they can perform and allow the selection committee to determine suitability. The notification does not lay down a separate Civil written-test syllabus, CAD-certification requirement or minimum number of years beyond the one-year threshold.

4. JE-Electrical: power infrastructure, cooling and allied systems

The Electrical assignment emphasises inspection, technical supervision and day-to-day maintenance of electrical and building services. The notice explicitly mentions HT/LT substations, transformers, panels, distribution systems, DG sets and UPS equipment. It also identifies air-conditioning plant and equipment—split/window ACs, VRF/VRV, packaged units, chillers and pumps—plus fire alarms, fire detection/firefighting systems, lifts, CCTV and EPABX systems.

These requirements are operational and supervision-oriented. A strong application explains the plant/equipment worked on, the applicant's responsibilities and the period over which the work was performed. Do not claim that an independent electrical licence, a particular automation certification or a mandatory examination paper is required: none is specified in this advertisement.

5. Salary: the published band does not guarantee the upper figure

📊 Consolidated monthly remuneration band endpoints

The ₹50,000–₹80,000 figure is a consolidated monthly band, not a graded government pay matrix. IIT Delhi will assess domain knowledge, professional skills and experience. The notice adds a material restriction: remuneration must not be more than 20% higher than remuneration received in any previous service/engagement. Thus, merely meeting the eligibility criteria does not entitle an applicant to ₹80,000; earlier earnings can restrict the offer. The advertisement does not define a universal guaranteed starting salary for all candidates.

The institute may review remuneration after one year. A possible annual increase is 3%–10%, conditioned on the Reporting and Reviewing Officer's performance assessment and subject to the advertised upper limit. If a consultant is already at the upper band, no annual increment is admissible. This potential review is not a promised annual increase and must not be added in advance to the advertised monthly pay.

📊 Conditional annual remuneration-review range

6. Selection: what is announced, and what is not

Stage 1 — Screening. The institute will examine timely applications, academic qualifications, relevant post-qualification experience and the supporting certificates. If applications are numerous, it may set shortlisting criteria above the minimum threshold. Satisfying the minimum degree and experience conditions does not ensure an interview invitation.

Stage 2 — Interview. Only applicants shortlisted by the committee will be considered further. The notice describes a shortlisting-based interview. Its date and the detailed selection arrangements will be communicated by email to provisionally shortlisted candidates only. Candidates must keep the email address on their application usable and check for messages from the institute.

Stage 3 — Original documents/engagement formalities. Candidates must present original academic/professional and work-experience evidence when called for a written test, interview or joining, as applicable. Although the general instructions mention production of documents at a possible written test, the announced selection method is shortlisting plus interview. The original notice does not schedule a written paper, prescribe a written-exam pattern, publish exam dates, identify negative marking or issue admit cards. Do not prepare for an invented paper advertised nowhere in this notice.

7. Application procedure: email is compulsory

1. Open IIT Delhi Jobs@IITDelhi → Non-Academic Staff → Contract Positions, find Rectt./35/2026(W) and download the three-page prescribed Consultant application form. Use the form linked beside this exact advertisement; an ordinary CV does not replace it.
2. Fill the form in your own handwriting as directed on its first page. Write the requested position applied for clearly, distinguishing Consultant (JE-Civil) from Consultant (JE-Electrical), and retain the advertisement number Rectt./35/2026(W). The form already identifies the unit as Estate & Works Section.
3. Affix a recent passport-size photograph. Complete the personal, address, age and contact particulars using the appropriate certificates. The form requests nationality, degree/CGPA/percentage, examination year and institution, and employment history.
4. Give full details of qualification and post-qualification experience. Attach self-attested PDF copies supporting all claims. Scans must be readable; the recruitment notice recommends 300 dpi or higher.
5. Enter the highest pay drawn and enclose supporting salary-slip evidence where applicable, as required by the form. Also provide the tentative availability date for joining.
6. Send the completed prescribed form and scanned documents in PDF by email to recruitmentcell@admin.iitd.ac.in no later than 1 December 2026. The advertisement does not specify a final clock time, so applicants should avoid delaying until the last moment. No physical copy by post or courier is required.
7. Keep a copy of the emailed application and attachments and monitor email for a shortlisting decision. The interview schedule, if shortlisted, will be shared separately.

Submission address: recruitmentcell@admin.iitd.ac.in
Official form and vacancy notice: available on IIT Delhi Jobs@IITDelhi
Last date: 1 December 2026

The official form expressly warns that incomplete forms, incorrectly completed forms and standalone résumés submitted instead of the prescribed form will be rejected. There is no separate fee amount or fee-payment mechanism stated in these two notice pages; absence of a figure should not be mistaken for a separately announced zero-fee concession.

8. Contract terms and questions candidates should resolve before applying

Is this a permanent Junior Engineer appointment? No. The post labels contain JE-Civil and JE-Electrical, but the engagement type is Consultant (Type-III), not an open-ended regular Junior Engineer recruitment. The original term is one year, with the possibility of two more years after satisfactory review and subject to functional requirements.

Can someone with Mechanical Engineering apply? Mechanical Engineering is explicitly among the accepted educational disciplines. The assignment is still Civil or Electrical in nature, and relevance of the applicant's actual experience matters in shortlisting. It is not a separately advertised JE-Mechanical seat.

Is the maximum remuneration automatically ₹80,000 for an experienced applicant? No. The advertisement provides the pay band and requires consideration of experience, skills and the 20% cap based on previous remuneration. An increment after a year is conditional, not automatic.

Is a prescribed examination syllabus available? Not in this advertisement. The declared process is application shortlisting followed by interview. Do not confuse the generic sentence about producing originals at a possible written test with a published examination schedule.

Are seats reserved by category? The original vacancy paragraph gives four Civil and two Electrical openings but does not publish category-wise reservation numbers. It would be incorrect to assign UR/SC/ST/OBC/EWS counts from assumptions.

Where is the workplace? The hiring institution is IIT Delhi, Hauz Khas, New Delhi – 110016, for work in its Estate & Works Section. The notice does not advertise separately located remote vacancies.

What if a candidate wants to join immediately? IIT Delhi explicitly says immediate joinees will be preferred. The application form asks for a tentative date of joining. Applicants should state availability accurately rather than promise immediate joining if they cannot fulfil it.

9. Final application checklist

IIT Delhi can alter the number of positions or cancel the process. Applicants should follow updates on its official jobs site and use the document linked against this exact advertisement, not forms belonging to other Consultant recruitment notices.
