What Is the Remuneration? – Project Manager Pay in New Delhi
This is an IRD consolidated pay-slab, not a 7th CPC Level. The notice also adds HRA @30%. Delhi is listed among X-class cities for central HRA, and 30% is what this advertisement itself prints.
Printed pay slab
₹64,260 – 66,190 – 68,180 – 70,220 – 72,330 – 74,500 – 76,730 – 79,030 – 81,400 – 83,840 per month, plus HRA @30%.
Illustrative monthly picture (starting step)
| Component | Amount |
|---|---|
| Consolidated pay (first step, as printed) | ₹64,260 |
| HRA @30% of ₹64,260 (as printed) | ₹19,278 |
| Illustrative gross at start | ₹83,538 |
| Component | Amount at last printed step |
|---|---|
| Consolidated pay (last step) | ₹83,840 |
| HRA @30% of ₹83,840 | ₹25,152 |
| Illustrative gross at last step | ₹1,08,992 |
Illustrative estimate only. The notice prints the slab and HRA @30%. It does not print DA, NPS, PF or a net in-hand figure. Tax depends on your total income from all sources. Confirm the joining step and deductions from the offer / engagement order.
The notice excludes any claim that this is regular institute pay. Do not assume regular PF, pension, gratuity, medical or seniority benefits unless the engagement order separately provides them.
What Is the Application Fee?
No application fee line is printed in Advertisement No. IITD/IRD/254/2026. The process is a walk-in with Form IRD/REC-4. Do not pay anyone who claims a “processing fee” for this interview.
How to Attend the Walk-in? (Step-by-Step)
- Download Form IRD/REC-4 from the IIT Delhi IRD REC forms page and fill it completely, including percentage of marks for each examination passed and a work-experience list.
- Keep originals of academic and professional certificates ready, plus one recent passport-size photograph.
- If you already work at IIT Delhi or IRD, get the form forwarded by your establishment or section before 13 October 2026.
- Report at 11:00 a.m. on 13 October 2026 at the DDSP office, IIT Delhi, Hauz Khas, New Delhi – 110016.
- Appear for the walk-in test/interview with originals for verification. No separate online registration is described in this notice.
Suggested (not stated in the notification): reach the Hauz Khas campus 30–45 minutes early; campus entry and finding DDSP can take time.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Arriving without a filled Form IRD/REC-4 and expecting a blank form at the gate.
- Treating BIM / Revit / AutoCAD as mandatory. The notice lists them as desirable; the essential software line is Excel, MS Word, PowerPoint, plus digital drawing and report skills.
- Institute or IRD employees walking in without a forwarded application. The notice bars interviews in that case.
- Carrying only a CV. The notice wants percentages of each exam passed and experience details on the prescribed form.

Why Does IIT Delhi Matter?
Indian Institute of Technology Delhi is an Institute of National Importance under the Ministry of Education, Government of India. Campus and research work are run from Hauz Khas, New Delhi. Sponsored research and project hiring are handled by the Industrial Research & Development Unit, not the regular faculty roster.
This particular seat is in the Planning Unit, tied to Vision and Roadmap 2035 (OH-31 for the Deputy Director, Strategy & Planning). Day-to-day work, on the wording of the notice, is drawings, digital technical data, Excel/Word/PowerPoint, analytics and report writing for campus planning.
Candidates search “IIT Delhi project staff”, “IIT Delhi IRD vacancy” and “IIT Delhi Planning Unit jobs” because the campus brand is strong and the HRA line is printed at 30%. The honest downside is the employment type: this is a yearly-renewable project contract ending by 29 October 2028 at the latest on the printed duration, not a regular Group A/B/C cadre post of the Institute.

The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take
This walk-in sits next to other IIT IRD / IRCC / IC&SR project appointments, not next to GATE faculty drives or SSC Combined Graduate Level. The closest tabs a Civil or Architecture candidate is likely comparing are IIT Bombay IRCC project staff notices and IIT Madras IC&SR project appointments. Those too are campus project contracts. This one is narrower: two Planning Unit seats, drawings-heavy, Hauz Khas only.

Best fit: diploma or degree holders in Civil Engineering or Architecture who already maintain drawings in CAD or BIM-adjacent tools, can write a clean site or planning report, and want 30% HRA on a printed slab inside IIT Delhi’s Planning Unit for a defined project window.
Skip this if you need a regular IIT staff or faculty cadre, NPS-backed service rules, or an all-India transfer roster. A GATE-facing academic career and this IRD project seat are different products. Also skip if you cannot be in New Delhi on 13 October 2026 with originals.
Practical tip: Print Form IRD/REC-4 the day before and attach a one-page drawing sample list (file names and software used). The notice tests digital drawing and report skills; a blank form plus a generic CV wastes the 11:00 a.m. slot.
What Documents Are Required?
Bring these on 13 October 2026 (as printed):
- Filled Form IRD/REC-4 from ird.iitd.ac.in/rec
- Complete educational record with the percentage of marks of each examination passed
- Details of work experience
- One recent passport-size photograph
- Original academic certificates and original professional certificates, for verification
- Forwarding from establishment/section if you already work at the Institute / IRD
- Valid category certificate if you are claiming the SC/ST 5% marks relaxation
Suggested (not stated in the notification): carry a government photo ID and one self-attested photocopy set so verification is faster.
What Are the Contract Terms & Conditions?
- Appointment is contractual on consolidated pay, renewable yearly or up to the duration of the project, whichever is earlier.
- Project duration printed: upto 29 October 2028.
- Pay follows the printed slab plus HRA @30%.
- Retired or superannuated government employees, if selected, will have salary fixed as per prevailing IRD norms.
- Posts may be downgraded if no candidate is found suitable.
- The notice does not print a bond, probation calendar, or absorption clause.
What Happens After Selection?
- The committee records the walk-in test/interview outcome and may recommend appointment at Project Manager level or a downgraded post.
- Originals already seen at the venue are the first document check; any remaining Institute joining papers follow IRD practice.
- An engagement/offer is issued on consolidated pay in the printed slab plus HRA @30%, for a year or till 29 October 2028, whichever is earlier.
- You will join the Planning Unit at IIT Delhi, Hauz Khas, and work on Vision and Roadmap 2035 drawings, digital data and reports under the PI, Prof. Vivek Vittal Buwa.
- Renewal, if any, is yearly and is not automatic under this notice.
- Exit follows project end or non-renewal. This notice does not create a right to regular Institute cadre absorption.

FAQs – IIT Delhi Project Manager 2026
What is the last date to apply for IIT Delhi Project Manager 2026?
13 October 2026. That is the walk-in test/interview date, not an online closing date. There is no separate application portal on this notice. Reach the DDSP office, Hauz Khas, by 11:00 a.m. with Form IRD/REC-4. No extension is printed in Advertisement No. IITD/IRD/254/2026.
What is the age limit for the IIT Delhi Project Manager?
35 years, as printed. The notice does not give category-wise extended ages. SC/ST candidates may get 5% relaxation of marks, not a printed extra-year cap. No separate reckoning date is named; use the walk-in date as the practical check and confirm at the venue.
Is there an exam for IIT Delhi Project Manager, or is it interview-based?
Both words appear: walk-in test/interview. No CBT city list, syllabus or mark scheme is printed. Final engagement still depends on verification of originals and the committee’s recommendation. Posts may be downgraded if no one is found suitable.
What is the salary of IIT Delhi Project Manager?
The printed slab is ₹64,260–₹83,840 per month plus HRA @30%. At the first step, that is about ₹83,538 gross before tax (₹64,260 + ₹19,278 HRA). This is consolidated IRD pay, not a 7th CPC Level. Net pay after tax is not printed.
Can final-year students or result-awaited candidates apply for IIT Delhi 2026?
The essential qualification must already be held, with 02 years of relevant experience. The notice does not create a “result awaited” window. Safer reading: complete Diploma/Degree in Civil Engineering or Architecture before you attend, and carry originals on 13 October 2026.
Is IIT Delhi Project Manager a permanent government job?
No. This is a contractual IRD project engagement, renewable yearly or up to 29 October 2028, whichever is earlier. The notice does not use the phrase “permanent government job.” Regular Institute cadre rules, absorption and pension are not printed here.
Can candidates from other states apply for IIT Delhi recruitment?
Yes. The notice invites candidates of Indian nationality and does not print a Delhi domicile bar. The posting is at IIT Delhi, Hauz Khas, New Delhi. You must be able to attend the walk-in in person on 13 October 2026.
Where will I be posted if I get selected for IIT Delhi Project Manager?
At the Planning Unit, IIT Delhi, Hauz Khas, New Delhi – 110016, on the Vision and Roadmap 2035 project. No multi-campus transfer list is printed in this advertisement.
Do I need AutoCAD or Revit to attend this walk-in?
Not as a mandatory gate. AutoCAD or similar CAD, and BIM / Revit, are listed as desirable. Essential skills on the notice are digital drawing and data handling, Excel, MS Word, PowerPoint, data analytics and report writing. Still, carry proof if you have CAD work.
Is GATE required for IIT project staff jobs?
No GATE score is asked in Advertisement No. IITD/IRD/254/2026. This is an IRD project walk-in for Civil or Architecture diploma/degree holders with two years’ experience, not a faculty or Scientist recruitment through GATE.
What are the disadvantages of an IIT Delhi project appointment?
The trade-off is campus access without cadre security. Tenure is yearly or till 29 October 2028. The committee may downgrade the post. Benefits of regular Institute employees are not listed here. If you need permanence or NPS-backed service rules, this notice is the wrong product.
What is the salary of project staff in central educational institutes?
On this notice, IIT Delhi prints ₹64,260–₹83,840 per month plus HRA @30% for Project Manager. Other institutes use their own IRD or project slabs. Do not copy a 7th CPC Level-10 figure onto this seat; that scale is not printed here.
How do I get the IIT Delhi Project Manager notification PDF?
Download Advertisement No. IITD/IRD/254/2026 from the IIT Delhi IRD Project Manager 2026 PDF. Form IRD/REC-4 is on ird.iitd.ac.in/rec. Check ird.iitd.ac.in for any later corrigendum before you travel.
