Short Information: IIT (BHU) Varanasi has invited online applications for 28 Group A posts spread across seven cadres — Administrative, Technical, Library, System Analyst, IWD (Institute Works Department), Rajbhasha, and Sports. The line-up includes senior positions such as Assistant Registrar, Senior Technical Officer, Librarian, Principal System Analyst, Executive Engineer, Hindi Officer, and Chief Sports Officer, most carrying Pay Levels between 10 and 14 under the 7th CPC — meaning basic pay starting anywhere from roughly ₹56,100 to ₹1,44,200 per month before allowances, which at a top central institute like IIT (BHU) come with the usual HRA, DA, and other benefits admissible under Institute rules. These are experienced-professional roles rather than entry-level ones — most posts require a Master's degree or equivalent plus several years of relevant experience at a specific Pay Level in Central/State Government, PSUs, or reputed research/educational institutions. Applications must be submitted only through the SAMARTH Portal between 11 July 2026 and 10 August 2026 (till 5:00 PM). A distinctive requirement here: after submitting online, you must also send a signed printout of your application with supporting documents by Speed Post to the Registrar, IIT (BHU), Varanasi — skipping this step can affect your candidature even after a successful online submission.
