About This Recruitment

Indian Institute of Technology (ISM) Dhanbad has notified recruitment for 60 posts under 411002/1/2026-Dean(F)/2. The last date to apply is 30 Sept 2026. The prescribed qualification is A Ph.D. with a first class at the preceding degree, and six to ten years of experience.
Selection is made through Screening and Interview. Selected candidates are placed in the pay scale of ₹1,39,600 basic at Level 13A2 for Associate Professor; ₹1,59,100 at Level 14A for Professor. 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.
