Recruitment at a Glance

Eligibility Criteria

Essential Qualification

A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from a recognised University or Institute, or a Master of Computer Application (MCA) from a recognised University or Institute.

Essential Experience

Three years of experience in data management and website management, hardware management, network management and similar work. This is not a fresher role, and the experience certificate is one of the documents whose absence gets an application rejected outright.

Desirable

A Master’s degree in computer science or an equivalent discipline scores as desirable, along with experience in any of the following areas:

• Database management
• Office automation and application software
• Computer hardware maintenance
• LAN and WAN networking
• Website development and maintenance
• Software installation and troubleshooting
• System administration and data management

Age Limit

The maximum age is 40 years. The advertisement does not publish a separate relaxation table for this post, so read the 40-year ceiling as the working limit unless a corrigendum says otherwise.

What the Contract Actually Offers

Read this section before you post the envelope, because the terms are tighter than the salary figure suggests.

• The engagement runs for one year from the date of joining.
• The post carries no DA and no other allowances or benefits. The ₹42,000 is the whole package.
• Leave is granted as per Institute norms.
• NIPER Raebareli reserves the right not to fill the advertised post at all due to administrative exigencies.
• The Institute may modify, cancel or add eligibility criteria, change the method of selection, or alter the terms of appointment at any stage.

Selection Process

Every application is screened purely on the information written in the form submitted by post or courier. There is no scope to supplement it later, which is why the Institute is blunt about candidates satisfying themselves on eligibility before applying.

The Institute may fix its own benchmarks and call only shortlisted eligible candidates for a test or interview. Where a candidate is exceptionally meritorious, the Competent Authority may relax the experience requirement, but only on the recommendation of the Screening or Selection Committee. Fulfilment of the prescribed qualification and experience otherwise remains mandatory.

Canvassing in any form leads to disqualification of candidature.

How to Apply

1. Download the advertisement and the prescribed application format from niperraebareli.edu.in.
2. Fill the form carefully. No change or correction is entertained after submission, and only one application per post is accepted.
3. Attach self-attested copies of proof of date of birth, educational qualifications, certificates, mark sheets and experience certificates. Applications without supporting documents are rejected.
4. Superscribe the envelope with “Application for the post of IT Assistant vide Advt. No. 01/2026 (Cont.) Dated 31-07-2026”.
5. Send it by post or courier so that it reaches the Registrar on or before 24 August 2026 up to 5:00 PM.

One Date Discrepancy Worth Knowing

The advertisement carries the deadline as 24 August 2026 in the details table and again in the English note on the last page. The Hindi paragraph at the foot of the same page reads 28 August 2026. Clause 8 of the General Instructions settles it. Where any language version differs from the English, the English version available on the Institute website prevails. Treat 24 August 2026, 5:00 PM as the real cut-off and post well before it, since delivery time is your risk, not the Institute’s.

Important Points from the General Instructions

• Only candidates of Indian nationality are eligible.
• False or incorrect information found at any stage of the recruitment leads to rejection of candidature.
• Any legal dispute arising out of this advertisement falls under the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at Lucknow.
