Short Information: Central Manufacturing Technology Institute (CMTI), Bengaluru has announced walk-in interviews for 71 contract posts spread across Senior Project Associate, Project Associate-I/II, Project Assistant-I/II and Data Entry Operator cum Assistant roles. CMTI is a premier Research & Development organisation working on manufacturing technology solutions, so this recruitment covers a genuinely wide mix of specializations - mechanical design, electronics and embedded systems, computer vision and AI, chemistry, business development, and finance-focused data entry. Stipends range from Rs. 18,000 to Rs. 42,000 per month plus House Rent Allowance at 30% of the stipend, and Project Associate posts carry an extra incentive - candidates who are NET or GATE qualified get a meaningfully higher stipend (Rs. 31,000 or Rs. 35,000 depending on level) compared to Rs. 25,000 or Rs. 28,000 for others. Unlike typical government recruitment, there is no online application and no written exam here - eligible candidates simply walk in with their filled application and original documents between 9:00 AM and 9:30 AM on the specific interview date assigned to their post. Interview dates are spread across August 2026, starting 03 August and running through 27 August, with different dates for different post categories, so candidates need to check which date applies to the post they're targeting. All posts are temporary and tenure-based with no obligation for regularization, and the cut-off date for qualification, experience and age is fixed at 31 July 2026 across the board.

💡 Expert Tip

Read the Project Associate stipend note carefully before you walk in - if you're NET or GATE qualified, you're entitled to Rs. 31,000 (Project Associate-I) or Rs. 35,000 (Project Associate-II) instead of the base Rs. 25,000/Rs. 28,000 shown against most posts, but you must be able to prove it with your original scorecard at the interview. Since CMTI reserves the right to shortlist candidates on its own criteria and isn't obligated to interview everyone who meets the minimum qualification, arrive well before the 9:00-9:30 AM registration window with every original certificate plus one photocopy set - any discrepancy between what you declared and what you produce leads to instant disqualification, even after joining. Also submit only one application per post; multiple applications for different posts under the same advertisement are not barred, but each needs its own separate form.
