IIT Bhilai Project Assistant & Project Associate Recruitment 2026

About the Recruitment

The Indian Institute of Technology Bhilai has invited applications for four posts on the sponsored project titled FinTech Security with (or without) Blockchain, funded by MeitY, in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. The Principal Investigator is Prof. Souradyuti Paul. The tenure is four months, extendable on performance, and the engagement is on a temporary basis. This post is based on the official advertisement page as rendered through a reader proxy of the official IIT Bhilai page, because the official site could not be reached directly from here; the figures below come from that official advertisement text, not from a job aggregator.

Posts and Vacancies

There are four posts in total, across two roles: Project Assistant (Technical) and Project Associate (Technical). The advertisement gives the total of four posts but does not print how many belong to each role, and it gives no category-wise break-up. No per-role split is claimed in this post, so candidates should not assume an equal or any other split.

Eligibility

For Project Assistant (Technical), candidates need a three-year diploma in Computer Science or IT with two years of job experience in Computer Science or IT; or a BE or BTech in Computer Science or IT; or an MSc in Computer Science or IT; or an MCA from a recognised university. For Project Associate (Technical), candidates need a three-year diploma in Computer Science or IT with four years of experience; or a BE or BTech in Computer Science or IT with two years of experience; or an MSc in Computer Science or IT with two years of experience; or an MCA with two years of experience. Desirable skills for both posts include Android app development in Java, full-stack web development with ReactJS, NodeJS, Express, PHP and MongoDB, penetration testing such as Burp Suite, APK testing such as Frida, Blockchain, Cryptography, Ethereum (Quorum or Besu), Hyperledger Fabric, smart contracts in Solidity or Chaincode, Web3 security tools such as Slither, MythX and zk-SNARKs, and scalable backends in Node.js or Python.

Pay

Project Assistant (Technical) is paid a consolidated Rs. 28,000 to Rs. 41,000 per month. Project Associate (Technical) is paid a consolidated Rs. 35,000 to Rs. 50,000 per month. The advertisement labels the Associate range as Project Assistant under the Associate entry, which appears to be a typo in the source; the Rs. 35,000 to Rs. 50,000 range belongs to the Project Associate by its position in the notice.

Age Limit

The maximum age is 35 years for Project Assistant and 45 years for Project Associate. No minimum age and no as-on or cut-off date are printed.

Application Fee

No application fee is prescribed in the advertisement. There is no fee to pay for this application, and no fee amount is claimed in this post.
