IIT Kharagpur Driver Recruitment 2026 — Walk-in Interview

IIT Kharagpur Driver Walk-in 2026 — Through Third-Party Payroll

The Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur has invited candidates for a walk-in selection for Driver posts, engaged through a Contractor or Service Provider on a purely contractual basis for 89 days. The walk-in is on 2 December 2026 (Wednesday) at 09:00 a.m. at the Transport and Automobile Section, IIT Kharagpur. Please note that the walk-in date, time and venue are handwritten on the scanned notice, not printed.

Read this first — this is not a regular IIT job

Drivers engaged under this notice remain employees or personnel of the Contractor or Service Provider, not regular employees of the Institute or the Central Government. The engagement is purely temporary, with no right or claim for regular appointment, absorption, regularisation or continuation beyond the contract period, and no claim for pension, gratuity or other regular-employee benefits — only statutory entitlements apply. The contract is terminable by either party with 15 days' prior written notice, and the Institute may terminate it immediately for misconduct, rule violation, negligence or unsatisfactory performance, or at any time without assigning any reason.

Pay

Wages are paid by the Contractor or Service Provider at rates not less than the applicable minimum wages notified by the competent Government authority, by electronic bank transfer, with EPF and ESI. No rupee figure is printed in the notice, so no monthly pay figure can be given here.

Who can apply

You must be an Indian citizen; the notice says age is "preferably 25 years as on 31 October 2026" — this is a preference, not a hard maximum. You need a Secondary qualification, a valid Light Motor Vehicle (LMV) and Heavy Motor Vehicle (HMV) driving licence, and a minimum of three years of relevant driving experience. You must be medically fit and free from any condition that may adversely affect safe operation of vehicles.

No vacancy count is stated in the notice, so no number of posts can be given here. No application fee is mentioned in the notice, and no advertisement number or printed date appears on it.

Selection

Selection is by a walk-in comprising a Trade Test (Written), followed by a Skill Test for candidates who qualify in the Trade Test. Advance copies of applications are not to be sent — submit all documents at the venue before the trade test.

What to bring

Bring all certified copies of certificates and documents in support of eligibility, a Police verification certificate, and a Medical fitness certificate issued by a Government Hospital. Read the official notice PDF linked below in full before attending.
