The Ministry of Education invites applications for the post of Director at IIT Mandi, offering a monthly salary of ₹2.25 lakh plus allowances. The recruitment process is underway ahead of the end of the current Director’s tenure in December.
According to the reports, eligible senior academicians apply based on meeting prescribed academic, teaching, and administrative requirements. The Times of India report states the application window closes on October 31, 2026. NDTV adds that the Director’s appointment is for a five-year term or until the appointee reaches the age of 70, whichever comes first.
Both outlets describe the same recruitment notice and pay figure, while differing mainly on the emphasis placed on tenure conditions versus the specific application deadline.
