IIT Roorkee has invited applications for a single Project Assistant position under advertisement number SRIC/06, and unlike most recruitments this one skips the usual online form entirely. There is no portal to register on and no fee to pay — the selection happens through a walk-in interview on 23 October 2026, and you simply turn up with your papers. That makes this a genuinely low-friction opportunity for postgraduates with relevant experience, but it also means there is no second chance: miss the reporting time or arrive without the right documents, and there is nothing to fall back on.

Vacancy and Eligibility
There is one vacancy for the post of Project Assistant, sponsored by the SRIC Fund at IIT Roorkee. The official requirement is straightforward: Post Graduation with relevant experience. The notification also states that preference will be given to SC/ST candidates on equal qualifications and experience — in plain terms, this acts as a tie-breaker rather than a separate quota.
A word of caution before you plan the trip: candidates are explicitly asked to ensure they meet the eligibility criteria before appearing for the interview. Since applications are screened at the walk-in itself, there is no point attending with a qualification that does not match. If anything about the “relevant experience” clause is unclear for your profile, check the official notification (linked below) rather than assuming.
Pay, Tenure and What the Job Involves
The emoluments are notified as Rs. 26,000 to Rs. 57,000 per month plus HRA — a band rather than a fixed figure, which is typical of project positions where the final amount depends on qualification and experience. The project title is “SRIC Activities”, and the job description lists administrative responsibilities as assigned from time to time.
The appointment is initially for one year and can be extended for a further period based on performance. One important detail: no TA/DA is admissible for attending the interview, so candidates should factor in their own travel cost when deciding to attend.
How to Attend the Walk-in (and What to Carry)
This is the section most people get wrong with walk-in recruitments. You do not fill an online form. Instead, the notification asks candidates to submit their application to the office of the Principal Investigator through email, by post, or produced at the time of interview. In practice, most walk-in candidates simply carry everything on the day — but having the packet ready in advance is safer.
Your packet should contain:
- Application in plain paper with a detailed CV, including the chronological order of degrees/certificates obtained
- Details of experience, including research, industrial, field and other experience
- Attested copies of degree/certificate and experience certificates
- Original degree(s)/certificate(s) and experience certificate(s) for verification at the interview
The two things candidates most often forget at walk-ins are the originals for verification and the chronological CV the notification specifically asks for. Arrive with both, and report at 10:30 AM as notified.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Assuming a job through e-mail alone: Sending the application by email or post does not replace attending the walk-in interview on 23 October. The interview is the selection stage.
- Carrying only photocopies: Originals must be produced at the time of interview for verification — without them your candidature stalls.
- Expecting travel reimbursement: No TA/DA is admissible for attending the interview, per the official notification.
- Ignoring the one-year tenure: This is a project position, not a permanent institute post — the extension depends entirely on performance.
