IIT Bombay Recruitment 2026 Notification: 12 Advertisements, 13 Posts, Eligibility, Pay Level & Last Date
Indian Institute of Technology Bombay has opened its non teaching recruitment for 2026, and it works differently from the usual notification. IIT Bombay has released 12 separate advertisements in one PDF, adding up to 13 permanent posts at the Powai campus in Mumbai. The designations are Technical Officer (Scale-I), Technical Superintendent, Junior Mechanic and Sports Officer (Scale-I). Pay goes up to Pay Level 10 (₹56,100 – ₹1,77,500), so if you hold an ITI, diploma, degree or master’s plus the exact years of experience your advertisement asks for, this is one of the better central government jobs open right now.
The application window closes on 4 September 2026, and that same date is used to check your age, qualification and experience. Please remember one thing — you apply advertisement-wise, not through one common form, because every advertisement has its own department, its own reserved category and its own Job Reference Number. In this article on GovtJobsAlert.in we have broken down all 12 advertisements, the vacancy split, qualification, age limit, salary, fee and the two different selection tracks. Read it fully so you pick the right advertisement for yourself.

Age Limit
The notification gives only a maximum age for each post, counted as on 4 September 2026, the closing date. No minimum age is mentioned anywhere in the notification, so do not assume one.
| Post Name | Maximum Age |
|---|---|
| Technical Officer (Scale-I) | 40 years |
| Sports Officer (Scale-I) | 40 years |
| Technical Superintendent | 32 years |
| Junior Mechanic | 27 years |
🎂 Not sure if you meet the age criteria? Use our free Age Calculator for Government Exams to find your exact age on the cut-off date and instantly check your eligibility — including standard government age relaxation. Note that IIT Bombay has not published year-wise relaxation for this recruitment — it is “as per Institute norms”, and for SC / ST / OBC (NCL) it applies only if that post is reserved for that category. →
Relaxation is given as per Institute norms, and no year-wise table is printed. For SC, ST and OBC (NCL) candidates it applies only if that post is reserved for that category. For PwD candidates and Ex-servicemen it is as per the rules. Serving IIT Bombay employees with at least three years in the Institute (220 days or more per year) who crossed the limit in that period also get relaxation, and for permanent Institute employees the age limit extends to 57 years.
What is the Salary for IIT Bombay Non Teaching Recruitment 2026?
All 13 posts are permanent and sit on the 7th Pay Commission pay matrix. The notification prints the pay level clearly for every advertisement.
- Technical Officer (Scale-I): Pay Level 10 (₹56,100 – ₹1,77,500)
- Sports Officer (Scale-I): Pay Level 10 (₹56,100 – ₹1,77,500)
- Technical Superintendent: Pay Level 6 (₹35,400 – ₹1,12,400)
- Junior Mechanic: Pay Level 3 (₹21,700 – ₹69,100)
The notification does not print a fixed in-hand figure. It only says gross pay includes Basic Pay + Dearness Allowance + House Rent Allowance + Transport Allowance + Dearness Allowance on Transport Allowance, so your monthly pay will sit comfortably above the basic pay above.
One point confuses many readers. Inside the eligibility text of the Technical Officer (Scale-I) advertisements you will see Pay Level 7 (₹44,900 – ₹1,42,400) and Pay Level 8 (₹47,600 – ₹1,51,100). These are not the salary of this job — they are the levels you must have already worked at in an earlier job for your experience to count. The pay actually offered is Pay Level 10.
Beyond pay, IIT Bombay gives family accommodation on campus as per rules and availability, admission for your children in the campus school or Kendriya Vidyalaya, medical facilities for you and your dependents at the Institute Hospital, and Children Education Allowance for up to two children.
What is the Selection Process for IIT Bombay Non Teaching Recruitment 2026?
Here is where most candidates go wrong. This one PDF carries two completely different selection tracks, depending on the pay level of the post. Read only your own track.
Scrutiny of Applications (All 12 Advertisements)
Every application is screened first, and only candidates who clear scrutiny move ahead. IIT Bombay may raise the bar above the minimum qualification or experience to limit how many are called, so a stronger profile helps.
Track A: Junior Mechanic (Level 3) and Technical Superintendent (Level 6)
For these six advertisements, final selection is on the written test only. You must score 60% marks or more, and SC and ST candidates need 55% or more. A shortlist of a certain multiple of the advertised posts is then drawn in order of merit. A skill (trade or proficiency) test may also be held, but it is only qualifying — its marks do not decide your final position.
Track B: Technical Officer (Scale-I) and Sports Officer (Scale-I) (Level 10)
For these six advertisements, the written test is used only for shortlisting, and those marks are not carried forward. A maximum of 7 candidates in order of merit, above the cut-off, may be called ahead; if marks tie, all tied candidates may be called. The final selection is through interview.
Document Verification and Medical Fitness
Your eligibility is scrutinised in detail before selection, and you must produce original certificates during the process and again at joining. The appointment is finally subject to being found medically fit as per Institute norms.
Please note honestly: the notification publishes no exam pattern — no subjects, marks, duration or negative marking rule. Do not trust any pattern floating around; we will post it on our exam syllabus and pattern page as soon as IIT Bombay releases it. Admit cards go to shortlisted candidates on their registered email id only, and no exam date is announced. SC and ST candidates attending the written test get to-and-fro second class rail fare, and every outstation candidate called for the Level 10 interview is reimbursed air (booked through Balmer Lawrie, Ashok Travels or IRCTC) or 2-tier AC rail fare against tickets against tickets and caste certificate, unless already employed in a government body or PSU.
How to Apply Online for IIT Bombay Non Teaching Recruitment 2026?
Keep these ready first: a photograph not older than six months, certificates from matriculation onwards, experience certificates on the employer’s letterhead showing the exact period, designation and pay drawn, date of birth proof, caste or EWS certificate in the Central Government format — EWS candidates need family gross annual income below ₹8 lakh (with land and property exclusions) certified by an officer not below Tehsildar, OBC (NCL) candidates need a certificate issued in the current financial year, and ST candidates must enclose a caste validity certificate from the State Scheduled Tribe Certificate Scrutiny Committee, pay slips, and your NOC if you already work in government service.
- Open the correct advertisement and confirm the qualification, experience and age limit for that Job Reference Number — each of the 12 is separate.
- Visit the official IIT Bombay careers portal (direct link in the Essential Links section below) and register.
- Fill the form carefully — details once submitted are final and cannot be changed later.
- Upload your photograph and every certificate, because an application missing any document is rejected outright.
- SC, ST, OBC (NCL), EWS, PwBD and Ex-Servicemen candidates claiming reservation or fee concession must upload the correct certificate in the prescribed Central Government format; OBC (NCL) candidates must additionally attach the Annexure-I declaration.
- For the two Application Software Centre Technical Officer advertisements (EXT213/2026 and EXT214/2026) only, also attach the “Experience and Pay information” PDF in the table format given inside that advertisement, renamed as YourFullname-expay.pdf — it is an essential shortlisting document. These two posts also carry four essential experience conditions that must be backed by documents: 4 years in Object-Oriented / backend frameworks (Spring Boot-Java, Django-Python) or front-end frameworks (Angular, Vue, React JS); 4 years with MySQL or PostgreSQL; demonstrable proficiency in JSON RPC, SOAP or REST API programming; and 4 years working in a Linux command line environment.
- Pay the application fee online through the portal before you submit the form.
- Submit on or before 4 September 2026 and keep a copy. Do not post or email a hard copy, as it will not be considered.
If you already serve in a Central, State or Semi-Government organisation, autonomous body or PSU, apply through proper channel and upload your NOC or proof of requesting it. Producing the actual NOC during the selection process and a relieving letter at joining is mandatory — without them you will not be permitted to join. And apply early — IIT Bombay itself warns candidates not to wait for the last date, because heavy traffic and payment failures can stop your form going through.
