| Post | Vacancies |
|---|---|
| Consultant (JE-Civil) | 4 |
| Consultant (JE-Electrical) | 2 |
| Total | 6 |
The notification gives only the post-wise count. It does not give a category-wise split, so do not assume any reserved seats. The Institute also keeps the right to increase or decrease the number of vacancies, so the final count can change.
Check your own post before you apply. The notification gives one common qualification for both posts, but the duties differ. A Civil engineer should look at the construction and maintenance work, and an Electrical engineer at the substation, panel and building-services work.
What Is the Eligibility for IIT Delhi Consultant Recruitment 2026?
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Degree | B.Tech/B.E. or an equivalent or higher degree in Civil, Electrical, Electrical & Electronics or Mechanical Engineering, from a recognised Institute or University |
| Marks | At least 60% marks, or the equivalent CGPA grading |
| Experience | Minimum 1 year of experience after the degree in operation, maintenance, supervision and/or execution of Civil, Electrical or Mechanical services |
| Preferred background | A large institutional, commercial, industrial or similar establishment |
| Cut-off date | Age, experience and qualification are counted as on 1 December 2026 |
Note the word “post-qualification”. The one year of experience must come after you finished the degree. The notification says the establishment type is “preferred”, which means it is not a hard condition.
Also note that the degree list includes Mechanical Engineering. The notification names it among the accepted branches and its experience line covers Mechanical services too, so read the post you choose against your own branch and experience before you decide.
The notification also says that having the minimum qualification does not entitle you to an interview call. If many applications arrive, the Institute can set a shortlisting criteria to cut down the number of candidates it calls.
What Is the Age Limit for IIT Delhi Consultant Recruitment 2026?
| Category | Age Limit |
|---|---|
| All candidates | Below 40 years, as on 1 December 2026 |

The notification does not mention any age relaxation for any category. The limit is below 40 years, so a candidate aged 40 is not eligible. Work out your exact age on 1 December 2026, not on the day you apply.
What Is the Salary for IIT Delhi Consultant Posts 2026?
| Component | Detail |
|---|---|
| Consolidated remuneration | Rs 50,000 to Rs 80,000 per month |
| How it is fixed | According to your domain knowledge, skills and experience |
| Cap against previous pay | Not more than twenty percent (20%) higher than the remuneration you received in any previous service or engagement |
| Annual review | May be reviewed after completion of 1 year, on an annual basis |
| Annual increment | 3% to 10%, within the upper limit of Rs 80,000, subject to performance assessment by the Reporting and Reviewing Officer |
If you are engaged at the upper limit of Rs 80,000, no annual increment is admissible. If you have worked before, your pay here cannot exceed your previous remuneration by more than 20%. The pay is consolidated, so the notification does not list separate allowances.
Roles and Responsibilities
| Area | Work |
|---|---|
| Civil works | Original building construction, maintenance and renovation, including roads, drainage, water supply, and preparing estimates and designs |
| Electrical services | Day-to-day maintenance, inspection, monitoring and technical supervision of electrical and allied building services |

| Safety systems | Monitoring and coordination of fire alarm, fire detection, firefighting, lifts, CCTV and EPABX |
The notification names no post per duty, but an “OR” separates the first from the rest. The first duty is about construction and civil works, and the rest are about electrical and building services. Read this table against your own experience before you apply.
The range is wide, from Rs 50,000 to Rs 80,000, but where you land depends on your experience and your previous pay.
