IIT Madras Software Developer Recruitment 2026 for 2 Posts | Apply by 24 April

Recruitment overview

IIT Madras is recruiting for 2 Software Developer posts under the Office of Industrial Consultancy and Sponsored Research. The advertisement identifies the role as a temporary contractual position and places it under the coordination of the Dean, IC&SR.

This is a project-style institutional technology role rather than a permanent institute cadre appointment. Candidates should therefore read the contract terms, job responsibilities, and skills expected before applying.

Important dates

The notice does not publish a separate interview or test date in advance. Only shortlisted applicants will be contacted by the institute.

Vacancy, duration and place of work

The institute has clearly stated that completion of the contract period does not create any right to regularization, permanency, or automatic extension.

Eligibility and minimum qualification

According to the official advertisement, the required qualification for the Software Developer post is:

• B.E or B.Tech
• MCA
• M.Sc in Computer Science
• Or an equivalent postgraduate degree

Applicants should make sure that their degree background is relevant and that they can demonstrate the required experience and technical fit for the advertised stack.

Required experience and technical stack

The notice asks for at least 2 years of experience in ADO.NET, ASP.NET (C#), or the .NET MVC Framework. This means the role is intended for candidates who already have working exposure to backend and full-stack application development.

The job profile also expects hands-on knowledge or working familiarity with the following:

• .NET MVC Framework
• TypeScript with Angular 12+ or React
• HTML and CSS
• SQL Server
• PostgreSQL
• Python for backend services, automation, or data processing
• API development and integration
• Git and basic DevOps practices
• Windows and Linux environments

Job responsibilities

The Software Developer role is described as a full-stack development position. Based on the official notice, the selected candidates are expected to handle work such as:

• Developing and maintaining web applications using the .NET MVC Framework
• Building responsive UI and UX components using TypeScript and modern JavaScript concepts
• Using Python for scripting, background jobs, data processing, and system integrations
• Designing and optimizing databases using SQL Server and PostgreSQL
• Writing complex SQL queries and stored procedures
• Developing APIs and backend services
• Supporting performance, security, and scalability of applications
• Working on enterprise or ERP-based applications where needed

This makes the post suitable for applicants who can work across both application logic and data-layer responsibilities.

Salary and contract terms

The pay range mentioned in the advertisement is Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 40,000 per month, based on experience. The institute has not published a separate grade pay, allowance structure, or permanent service benefits for this post in the notice.

The appointment is temporary and contractual. Even though the term may be extended based on performance, the notice specifically says that the contract period itself does not lead to regular appointment at the institute.

Selection process

The detailed shortlist method is left to the institute, but the official instructions make the process clear in broad terms. Candidates will be shortlisted on the basis of the information provided in the online application. The institute may use written test, skill test, interview, or another screening method as it decides.

• Applications are screened for eligibility and relevance
• The institute may restrict the number of candidates for test or interview
• Only shortlisted applicants will be contacted
• Final selection depends on institute evaluation and document verification

Mere submission of the form does not confirm selection or even confirm that the applicant will be called for the next stage.
