About This Recruitment
Indian Institute of Technology (ISM) Dhanbad has notified recruitment for 30 posts under 411002/1/2026-Dean(F)/1. The last date to apply is 31 Aug 2026. The prescribed qualification is A Ph.D. with a first class at the preceding degree and a very good academic record throughout.
Selection is made through Shortlisting and Interview. Selected candidates are placed in the pay scale of ₹70,900 basic at Level 10 for Grade II; ₹1,01,500 at Level 12 for Grade I. The place of posting is IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, Jharkhand.
The entire process is completed online, from registration through to fee payment and the final printout of the confirmation page. Check the notification for whether a correction window is offered, because most fields cannot be amended once the form is submitted.
Read the official notification in full before you begin the form. Eligibility, fees and dates are revised through corrigenda more often than candidates expect, and an application submitted against the wrong criteria is rejected at document verification rather than at submission — by which point the cycle is over.

Important Dates
Every date below is taken from the official notification. Portals close at the time stated in the notification, not at midnight, and the fee payment window often closes a day after the form does.

| Last date to apply | 31 Aug 2026 |
Educational Qualification
The qualification must be held on or before the cut-off date stated in the notification. Final-year candidates should check whether provisional applications are permitted for this recruitment.
| Post | Required Qualification |
|---|---|
| Assistant Professor Grade II (contract) | A Ph.D. with a first class or equivalent at the preceding degree in the appropriate branch, a very good academic record throughout, and good performance in the Ph.D. coursework. Less than three years of post-Ph.D. industrial, research or teaching experience. |
| Assistant Professor Grade I (regular) | The same academic requirement, with at least three years of post-Ph.D. industrial, research or teaching experience. |
- Post-Ph.D. experience decides the grade, not a separate application — under three years places you in Grade II on contract, three or more in Grade I on a regular appointment.
- The upper age limit is 35 for unreserved candidates, which is tighter than most faculty recruitments.
- A first class at the degree preceding the Ph.D. is required, alongside a very good academic record throughout.
Pay Scale
Figures are the pay scale, not take-home pay. Dearness allowance, house rent allowance and other allowances are paid over and above the basic pay shown.
