What is the Salary for IMU Mumbai Recruitment 2026?
The notification gives no amount, pay level or grade pay. For the two Faculty posts, the Paramedic and the Gym Instructor it says the proposed remuneration is “as per IMU norms”. The sections for the two Workshop Instructor posts and the Lab Assistant have no pay line at all. You must also write your expected salary in your CV, so decide a sensible figure before you send it. Since pay is left to IMU norms, it is wise to ask yourself what you would accept for a contract role before the interview call comes.
