IIT Roorkee SRIC Walk-in 2026: MBA vs PG Assistants and 5-Year IPR Officer, 3 Posts

IIT Roorkee SRIC/IPR walk-in recruitment: three posts, three distinct eligibility routes

Interview: 23 October 2026, 10:30 AM, IPR Office, IIT Roorkee. IIT Roorkee lists three related SRIC-funded notices for the same walk-in date, time and office. They are grouped here as one recruitment listing containing three post profiles, but retain three separate signed source documents. These are one-year sponsored-research/administrative assignments, not permanent government administrative, faculty or regular engineering cadre posts.

What is truly different about the three jobs?

The PDFs do not state the unit/pay period against these emolument ranges; readers should verify the actual remuneration period, placement within the range, and HRA applicability rather than assume a guaranteed take-home monthly income. No numeric age limit or application fee is printed. These figures are advertised ranges, not a guaranteed salary for every selected candidate.

1. Administrative Work: MBA must be read alongside graduation

The 14 October one-page SRIC Administrative Work PDF explicitly reads “Graduation with MBA and relevant Experience.” MBA is not a nice-to-have and there is no basis to rewrite it as a choice between Graduation and MBA. Relevant experience is also listed, but the institute does not quantify the number of years. The duties are unusually concrete for a project assistant: sponsored-project record keeping and data management, budget/ledger verification, office letters and note sheets, project portal operation, PI coordination and presentation preparation. This job may suit someone with both administrative/management credentials and documented research-office or project coordination experience, but the authority has not restricted the experience to named employers or industries. The initial appointment is one year, extendable based on performance, not automatically.

2. SRIC Activities: not the MBA opening repeated

The separate SRIC Activities PDF says “Post Graduation with relevant experience”, with neither a mandatory MBA nor a named discipline. The scanned notice includes a handwritten amendment showing one position. It does not enumerate detailed daily duties beyond administrative responsibilities as assigned from time to time. Do not copy the ledger-verification and project-portal job description from the other Project Assistant advertisement into this profile, nor claim that a particular master's subject, marks percentage or minimum number of experience years is mandatory. The initial term is again one year with possible performance-based extension.

3. IPR Project Officer: professional IPR background, not just any 5-year office job

The original two-page SRIC/IPR Activities PDF offers one Project Officer seat. It expressly provides alternate degree routes of M.Tech, M.Arch, MBA, PhD in Science or MD, together with a minimum of five years relevant professional experience in IPR. Experience at an IP firm, R&D unit, academic/research institute or technology-transfer environment is indicated as preferable. The actual work involves prior-art searches, patent database analysis, patentability assessment, maintaining and reviewing the institutional IP portfolio, coordinating technology brochures/profiles, IP filings with researchers and awareness training. Familiarity with patent searching, WIPO programmes or Registered Patent Agent status may strengthen the application, but the advertisement describes WIPO courses as preferred and Patent Agent qualification/training as an added advantage, not a licence without which one cannot apply. A long background in unrelated administration does not automatically meet the five-year IPR requirement.

One date and venue — with distinct underlying notices

Three PDFs appear separately on IIT Roorkee Project Jobs. The Administrative Work assistant PDF is dated 14 October 2026. The Officer and SRIC Activities PDF headers are undated; do not invent issue numbers or publication dates for either. All three show the 23 October 2026, 10:30 AM IPR Office walk-in through PDF text or handwritten entries and corresponding official listing. None explicitly states whether 10:30 AM is a strict last admission cutoff; it should be presented as the announced interview time only. Other unrelated IIT Roorkee vacancies on the same calendar date (for instance Hydro/Renewable Energy email applications and Internal Audit interviews at other hours) use distinct hiring workflows and are not silently folded into this SRIC/IPR interview round.

How to prepare the application without inventing a portal

Each notice tells interested candidates to supply a plain-paper application and chronological CV with degree/certificate details, relevant work experience and attested copies of academic and experience evidence. The materials may be sent to the PI office by email, by post, or produced at the interview. However, these copies do not give a usable email address or separate earlier online deadline. A candidate should therefore avoid sending documents to a guessed email address. Bring original degree and experience certificates for verification, along with the application/CV and supporting copies. No TA/DA is admissible for appearing. SC/ST applicants are mentioned as receiving preference only where qualifications and experience are equal; this is not an advertised seat-wise reserved-category quota.

Recruitment lifecycle and what has not been announced

The documented sequence is preparation/submission of application and supporting credentials → eligibility check → walk-in interview on 23 October → verification of originals → engagement decision. No official written/CBT exam, exam date, syllabus, answer-key timetable, marks-based cutoff, separate admit card or result/merit release date appears in these notices. Do not fabricate lifecycle entries for them. The Project Officer notice gives one year; the assistant notices additionally provide for extension on performance, which should not be transferred to the Project Officer without confirmation.

Primary notices: SRIC Administrative Work (1-page PDF), SRIC Activities (1-page PDF), and SRIC/IPR Project Officer (2-page PDF). The original documents and IIT Roorkee's official listing take priority over summaries from recruitment aggregators.
