IIIT Vadodara Assistant Professor Recruitment 2026: 25 Faculty Vacancies and Two Deadlines
Indian Institute of Information Technology Vadodara has opened faculty recruitment for Assistant Professor Grade-II, and this one is special in a very specific way — it is a Special Drive for SC, ST, OBC and EWS candidates only. The institute has advertised SC 07, ST 03, OBC 11 and EWS 04, which adds up to 25 posts across three departments. The pay is Pay Level 10 of the 7th CPC, ₹70,900 – ₹98,200. If you have finished your Ph.D. and want a teaching job at an Institute of National Importance, this deserves your full attention today.
Two dates matter here, not one. Your online form must be submitted by 15 September 2026, and the signed hard copy must be sent by registered or speed post on or before 25 September 2026. Miss either one and your application is rejected. If you come from an engineering or mathematics background and are watching engineering government jobs, read this full guide slowly — the fee, the enclosures and the exact two-step process are all laid out below, straight from the notification, on GovtJobsAlert.in.
What are the Key Highlights of IIIT Vadodara Assistant Professor 2026?

Note also that the notification prints only the four category figures and no grand total; 25 is those four numbers added up. The seats are not split department-wise either.
What is the Eligibility for IIIT Vadodara Assistant Professor 2026?
Educational Qualification
| Post | Essential Qualification |
|---|---|
| Assistant Professor Grade-II | Ph.D. in the appropriate branch, with first class or equivalent (in terms of grades, etc.) in the preceding degree, and at least two research papers |
| Assistant Professor Grade-II | Also check: the advertisement asks candidates to visit the institute website for the faculty recruitment guideline and the required qualifications and experience |
Applications are invited for three departments — Computer Science & Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering, and Maths & Computing. Every qualification must be from a recognised University or Institution, and qualifications and experience are judged as on the last date of receipt of the application. The institute does keep one door open: it may relax any qualification or experience in exceptional cases. Post-graduate and Ph.D. level job seekers should read that qualification row twice.
Experience
This advertisement prints no minimum years of experience. It says only that experience is counted after you acquired the essential qualification, so work done before your Ph.D. was awarded may not count the way you expect. Keep dated proof for everything you claim.
Age Limit and Other Conditions
The advertisement prescribes no age limit and no age relaxation — no upper age bar is printed anywhere in it. Remember too that the listed qualification is the minimum; merely possessing it does not entitle you to an interview call, because the institute can set higher norms to shortlist.
What is the Salary for IIIT Vadodara Assistant Professor 2026?
| Component | Amount |
|---|---|
| Pay Level | Level 10 (7th CPC) |
| Pay Range | ₹70,900 – ₹98,200 |
| Professional Development Allowance (CPDA) | ₹3,00,000 for every block of 3 years, on reimbursement |
| Telephone Bill Reimbursement | Up to ₹1,000 per month |
| Medical Insurance | Up to ₹10,00,000 |
The notification states the pay exactly as Level 10 (₹70,900 – ₹98,200) and lists no DA, HRA or other allowance separately, so we will not invent an in-hand figure for you.
The CPDA of ₹3,00,000 per three-year block is the benefit young faculty undervalue most. It pays for conference travel, professional body membership and contingent expenses.
The institute also offers industry and research collaboration, a liberal consultancy and incubation policy, and research facilities in every department.
What is the Selection Process for IIIT Vadodara Assistant Professor Recruitment 2026?
| Stage | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Scrutiny of applications | Every application received is examined on the documents and information you furnished |
| Written Test / Presentation / Interview | Shortlisted candidates face this stage as decided by the institute |
The notification says the process will normally consist of these stages — that word is the institute’s own, and it reserves the right to cancel, restrict, enlarge, modify or alter the process without further notice. The date and time of the written test, presentation or interview will reach you only through institute email, and the institute will not be responsible if that mail never arrives. Use an email address you check daily, and watch the institute website, because any addendum or corrigendum is published there and nowhere else. Anyone following teaching and faculty recruitment updates knows such calls come at short notice.
