A month after its Group A non-faculty drive, the Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University), Varanasi, has opened the Group B and Group C layer that actually runs labs, work, libraries and offices. Advertisement No. 03/2026-27 dated 24 August 2026 offers 55 regular posts under the Ministry of Education on the Varanasi campus.

IIT (BHU) is an Institute of National Importance. This cycle covers Junior Superintendent (21), five Junior Technician groups (26 combined), Junior Engineer (3), Assistant Engineer (2), Junior Library Assistant (2) and Junior Translation Officer (1). Online applications on the SAMARTH portal open from 25 August 2026 to 24 September 2026, 5:00 PM.

Most posts require 55% marks plus computer proficiency. Several Group B roles also need Level-equivalent government or PSU experience. A printout must be sent by Speed Post to the Registrar. That dual step is where many otherwise eligible candidates fail.

1 PwBD seat is reserved across Junior Technician groups 26119–26123 combined.

Library, Engineering & Rajbhasha Cadre

The Institute may increase, decrease or cancel posts. Pay-level equivalence for State Government or PSU experience is decided by IIT (BHU), not by the candidate. Use our Experience Calculator if you are mapping private or state scales to Level-3 / Level-5 / Level-6.

Desirable extras (not mandatory): PG Diploma / higher qualification in HR, labour laws, financial management, CA or ICWA for Junior Superintendent; library computer work for Junior Library Assistant; translation diploma and Hindi software for Junior Translation Officer.

What Is the Age Limit?

Age is counted as of 24 September 2026. Relaxation follows Government of India norms.

Examples (Junior Superintendent, UR, 35-year limit as on 24 September 2026): ✅ A 34-year-old UR candidate born on 24 September 1992 — eligible (within the 35-year limit as on 24 September 2026). ❌ A 36-year-old UR candidate born on 24 September 1990 — not eligible (exceeds maximum age by 1 year).

What Is the Salary? – IIT BHU Non-Teaching 2026

Pay follows the 7th CPC matrix used by IIT (BHU). Varanasi is a Y-class city (20% HRA). Figures below are indicative in-hand estimates at DA around 55%, not an official salary slip.

Claim + proof: Level-6 in-hand of about ₹54,000–₹60,000 uses basic ₹35,400 + DA ~55% + 20% HRA for Varanasi + transport allowance, minus NPS (10% of basic + DA) and routine deductions. X-class IIT campuses (Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai) pay higher HRA. Use the 7th CPC Salary Calculator for a city-wise estimate. This calculator provides an indicative estimate. Institute rules and current DA prevail.

Usual IIT (BHU) allowances attach to the Level. NPS applies on regular appointment. Exact probation pay is not separately listed in this advertisement.

What Is the Application Fee?

Pay online on SAMARTH through internet banking, debit card, credit card or UPI. The fee, once paid, is not refunded and cannot be moved to another post. If you apply for more than one post code, treat each as a separate fee.

How to Apply?

Applications are accepted only on the IIT (BHU) SAMARTH portal. Email or walk-in forms are not accepted.

1. Open the IIT BHU Non-Teaching 2026 SAMARTH apply page (portal live from 25 August 2026).
2. Register with a working email and mobile number. Keep both active till joining.
3. Select Advertisement No. 03/2026-27 and the exact post code (26118 to 26127).
4. Fill education, experience and category details exactly as on certificates. Eligibility is frozen as of 24 September 2026.
5. Upload photo, signature and documents. Use the Photo & Signature Resizer before uploading so the file is not rejected for size.
6. Pay the fee if payable. Save the payment reference.
7. Submit the form and download the final PDF. Note the application form number.
8. Print the submitted form. Attach self-attested copies of every document you entered online, plus Annexure-A experience certificate where experience is claimed.
9. Send the set by Speed Post in a sealed envelope to The Registrar, IIT (BHU), Varanasi – 221005. Superscribe the envelope with application form number, Advertisement No. 03/2026-27, post name and post code.
10. Serving employees must also route the printout through the proper channel within 7 days after 24 September 2026, and upload NOC plus vigilance clearance with the online form (or produce them at the interview).

Preserve one printed copy for document verification.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Submitting only the online form and skipping Speed Post. The notification requires both.
• Leaving the envelope blank. Without the form number, Advt. No. 03/2026-27 and post code, the packet can sit unopened.
• Uploading a private-company experience letter instead of Annexure-A. IIT (BHU) asks for the prescribed employer certificate with pay level, duties and dates.
• Diploma holders applying for Groups II–V, JE or AE without the extra experience year(s).
• Treating State PSU pay as automatically equal to Level-5 or Level-6. Equivalence is decided by the Institute.
• Waiting until 24 September 2026, 4:00 PM. SAMARTH plus payment gateway queues are real.

आईआईटी बीएचयू वाराणसी नॉन-टीचिंग भर्ती 2026 – 55 जूनियर इंजीनियर, जूनियर तकनीशियन व अन्य पदों के लिए ऑनलाइन आवेदन

भारतीय प्रौद्योगिकी संस्थान (काशी हिंदू विश्वविद्यालय), वाराणसी ने विज्ञापन संख्या 03/2026-27 के तहत 55 नियमित नॉन-टीचिंग पद निकाले हैं। आवेदन 25 अगस्त 2026 से 24 सितंबर 2026 शाम 5:00 बजे तक SAMARTH पोर्टल पर ऑनलाइन हैं। यह आईआईटी परिसर की लैब, कार्यालय, पुस्तकालय और निर्माण शाखा की भर्ती है।

कौन आवेदन कर सकता है? जूनियर अधीक्षक के 21 पद किसी भी विषय में स्नातक (55%) और सरकारी/पीएसयू अनुभव वाले उम्मीदवारों के लिए हैं। जूनियर तकनीशियन के पांच ग्रुप रसायन, भौतिकी, मैकेनिकल, मेटलर्जी, इलेक्ट्रिकल, सिविल, माइनिंग, वास्तुकला और कंप्यूटर/आईटी से जुड़े हैं। डिप्लोमाधारियों को संबंधित ग्रुप में एक वर्ष का अनुभव चाहिए। सहायक अभियंता और जूनियर अभियंता पर अनुभव अनिवार्य है। अनुवाद अधिकारी के लिए हिंदी स्नातक के साथ तीन वर्ष का अनुवाद अनुभव चाहिए।

How Are Candidates Selected?

Selection is a chain, not a single exam. Mere eligibility does not produce a call letter.

1. Online screening of the SAMARTH form against Advt. 03/2026-27. The Institute may apply criteria tighter than the published minimum and may prefer higher qualification or stronger experience.
2. Selection events as applicable to the post: screening test, written test, presentation, group discussion and/or personal interview. The exact mix is not printed in this advertisement. Shortlisted candidates will be informed by email.
3. Publication of shortlisted and not-shortlisted lists on the IIT (BHU) non-faculty recruitment page, with application numbers and reasons.
4. Representation window of 5 days from the date those lists go live. Write to nfrc@iitbhu.ac.in / office.nfrc@iitbhu.ac.in.
5. Document verification against originals, Annexure-A, category certificates and NOC where required.
6. Offer. Appointment may be regular with probation under Institute norms. The Institute also reserves the right to offer a contract instead of a regular post, depending on qualification, experience and selection performance.

✅ Confirmed: multi-stage process, shortlisting discretion, email intimation, website lists, possible contract offer. ❓ Not specified: paper-wise syllabus, marks, duration, negative marking, exam city, interview weightage, number of candidates per post.

No separate physical efficiency test is prescribed for these campus posts.

Why Does IIT BHU Varanasi Matter?

IIT (BHU) Varanasi is an Institute of National Importance under the Ministry of Education, Government of India. It sits on the historic Banaras Hindu University campus and teaches and researches engineering, technology and sciences. Non-teaching staff keep laboratories, the Institute Works Department, the library and the registrar’s offices running.

Candidates search IIT BHU non-teaching jobs because an IIT name on a Group B or Group C cadre still carries central-institute pay, NPS and a stable Varanasi posting. Searches also cluster around Junior Technician lab work and Junior Superintendent office roles after every IIT non-faculty cycle. The honest limit is scale, city, and class. This is a 55-seat campus drive, not an all-India transfer cadre like SSC CGL, and Y-class HRA in Varanasi is lower than IIT Delhi or IIT Bombay.

The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take

Hold this notification next to other IIT Group B/C drives (IIT Kanpur, IIT Roorkee, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad) and next to SSC CGL JE / Assistant posts. Those IIT circulars look similar on paper: 55% marks, Level-3 technicians, Level-6 office staff, SAMARTH plus hard copy. SSC CGL gives all-India service and promotion exams; IIT (BHU) gives one campus, institute allowances and a shortlist that can ignore minimum eligibility if applications flood in. Compared with Banaras Hindu University’s own non-teaching ads on the same city, this one carries the IIT pay matrix and IIT (BHU) service rules.

Best fit: diploma or B.E./B.Tech holders whose branch maps cleanly to Groups II–V, civil diploma/degree holders aiming at JE, and graduates who already have Level-3 or Level-5 government or PSU office time for Junior Superintendent. Group-I Chemistry / Physics is the rare technician path with no experience bar.

Poor fit if you are a fresher targeting Junior Superintendent, Junior Engineer or Assistant Engineer, or if you want X-city HRA and frequent inter-city transfers. Also step back if you will not complete Speed Post and Annexure-A. The form alone is not the application.

Practical tip: Treat Annexure-A and the superscribed Speed Post packet as part of eligibility, not as afterthoughts. Map your current pay to Level-3 / Level-5 / Level-6 on paper before you hit submit, because the Institute, not you, decides equivalence.

What Documents Are Required?

Keep self-attested photocopies for the hard-copy packet and originals for verification.

• SAMARTH application printout with form number
• Photo and signature as uploaded
• Class 10 certificate (date of birth)
• Qualifying marksheets and degree/diploma / B.Lib.I.Sc / B.Arch certificates
• Experience certificates in Annexure-A format, with pay level, duties and dates
• Category certificate (SC / ST / OBC-NCL / EWS / PwBD) in the Government of India format; OBC-NCL should not be older than six months at the relevant stage
• PwBD certificate where applicable
• NOC and vigilance clearance for serving employees
• Fee receipt (if paid)
• Valid photo ID

Document alert: OBC applicants must show they are outside the creamy layer. Experience claimed without Annexure-A is the first item shortlisting panels discard. Degrees must be from a recognised university or institute.

Service Conditions

Appointment may be on regular terms with a probation period under IIT (BHU) norms. The advertisement does not print the probation length or a service bond.

The Institute may instead offer a contract, based on qualification, experience and selection performance. That is a live clause, not fine print.

Pay is 7th CPC Level-3 / 6 / 8 with allowances admissible at IIT (BHU). New regular appointees are typically covered by NPS. No hostel, canteen or transport guarantee is written in this notification.

What Happens After Selection?

1. Check the shortlist on the IIT (BHU) non-faculty recruitment page. If your application number is missing, use the 5-day representation window.
2. Attend the written test, skill event or interview named in the email call letter. Carry the printed application.
3. Clear document verification with originals, Annexure-A and category papers.
4. Receive an offer that is regular-with-probation or, if the Institute so decides, contractual.
5. Complete medical / character formalities as required in the offer letter and join at Varanasi.
6. Serve probation under Institute rules. Confirmation and later movement (Junior Superintendent towards Superintendent, Junior Engineer towards Assistant Engineer) follow IIT (BHU) recruitment and promotion norms, not this advertisement.

Similar IIT non-faculty cycles often take several months from last date to joining. Plan finances on that lag.

FAQs – IIT BHU Non-Teaching 2026

Q1: What is the last date to apply for IIT BHU Non-Teaching 2026?

A: 24 September 2026, 5:00 PM on SAMARTH. Late online forms are not accepted. Serving employees must also forward the hard copy through proper channel within 7 days after that date. No extension is notified as of 26 August 2026.

Q2: What is the age limit for IIT BHU Junior Technician posts?

A: 27 years for UR/EWS Junior Technicians as of 24 September 2026. OBC gets 3 extra years, SC/ST 5, PwBD 10. Junior Library Assistant is 30, Junior Superintendent / JE / JTO 35, Assistant Engineer 40. Check the age table above for your post.

Q3: Is there an exam for IIT BHU non-teaching posts, or is it interview-based?

A: It depends on the post. After screening, the Institute may use a screening test, written test, presentation, group discussion and/or interview. The paper pattern is not in this advertisement. Shortlisted candidates get the schedule by email.

Q4: What is the salary of IIT BHU Junior Superintendent?

A: Around ₹54,000–₹60,000 in-hand in Varanasi is a reasonable Level-6 estimate (basic ₹35,400 + DA ~55% + 20% HRA, minus NPS). Junior Technicians at Level-3 are closer to ₹34,000–₹38,000. Assistant Engineer at Level-8 is higher, about ₹72,000–₹80,000.

Q5: Can final-year students apply for IIT BHU recruitment 2026?

A: No. Qualification and experience are tested as of 24 September 2026. The advertisement does not invite result-awaited candidates. Produce the degree or diploma and the required experience by that date, and again at document verification.

Q6: Is IIT BHU Junior Technician a permanent government job?

A: It is advertised as a regular appointment with probation under Institute norms, with 7th CPC pay. NPS applies on regular joining. Read the catch: the Institute may still offer a contract instead of a regular post after seeing your profile and performance.

Q7: Can candidates from other states apply for IIT BHU recruitment?

A: Yes. This is an all-India Institute of National Importance. No Uttar Pradesh domicile is written in Advertisement No. 03/2026-27. You must be an Indian citizen. Joining is at Varanasi, not in your home state.

Q8: Where will I be posted if selected at IIT BHU Varanasi?

A: At the IIT (BHU) campus in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. These are Institute posts, not a transferable all-India service. Lab, IWD, library or office allocation follows the post code you applied for.

Q9: What are the disadvantages of IIT non-teaching jobs in Varanasi?

A: The trade-off is city class and cadre size. Y-class HRA is lower than metro IITs, vacancies are only 55, and shortlisting can be stricter than the printed 55% plus experience. The contract-instead-of-regular clause is also real. If you want SSC-style all-India transfers, this campus role will feel narrow.

Q10: Is there a probation period after IIT BHU non-teaching selection?

A: Yes, regular offers are described as appointments with probation under Institute norms. The exact number of months is not printed in Advt. 03/2026-27. Confirmation follows IIT (BHU) rules after joining and satisfactory service.

Q11: What is the salary of IIT non-teaching staff?

A: Central IITs pay 7th CPC. Group C lab and library staff usually start at Level-3 (basic ₹21,700). Group B office and junior engineer staff start at Level-6 (basic ₹35,400). Assistant Engineer-type roles sit at Level-8. In-hand salary then moves with DA, HRA city class and NPS.

Q12: Do junior technicians in central institutes get pension?

A: Regular appointees in IITs are generally under NPS, not old pension. This IIT (BHU) notice does not restore OPS. Final pension architecture follows Institute and Government of India rules in the offer letter, not aggregator summaries.

Q13: How do I apply for central university Group C jobs?

A: Most IIT and central university Group C drives now use a SAMARTH or similar portal, a category-wise fee, and often a hard-copy follow-up. Read the exact advertisement for envelope address and experience format. Minimum marks (here 55%) and computer proficiency are common filters.

Final Checklist – Is This the Right Job for You?

• You meet the age and educational criteria as on 24 September 2026.
• You are comfortable with Regular Government Service at IIT (BHU), including the clause that a contract may be offered instead.
