About IIIT Vadodara
Indian Institute of Information Technology Vadodara is presently located at the Government Engineering College campus in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, with a second campus at Diu (U.T.). This is added context, not part of the official notification. Confirm with the hiring office. Institutes of this kind run undergraduate and postgraduate programmes and invite applications for this post in Computer Science & Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering, and Maths & Computing. For a candidate, a faculty post here means a teaching and research role in a central government job, with pay and reservation rules that follow Government of India norms and the 7th Pay Commission scale.
How This Compares
IIIT Vadodara’s campuses sit in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, and Diu — outside West Bengal, Sikkim, North Bengal and the North East. This advertisement is a special recruitment drive limited to SC, ST, OBC and EWS candidates. This is added context, not part of the official notification. Confirm with the hiring office. Institutes of National Importance sometimes run such drives separately from their regular annual faculty recruitment, specifically to fill reserved-category vacancies. Candidates comparing openings elsewhere can check other current postings on the site’s Latest Jobs (All India) page. Because these 25 posts are reserved-category only, general category PhD holders are not eligible to apply against this particular notification.
Important Dates
The notification does not carry a specific issue date beyond the month. Two deadlines matter most: the online closing date, and the later postal deadline for the signed hard copy.

Should You Apply?
This recruitment suits PhD holders in Computer Science & Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering, or Maths & Computing who already have at least two research papers and want to start or continue an academic career at an Institute of National Importance. It does not suit general category candidates — this is a special drive limited to SC, ST, OBC and EWS candidates only. This is added context, not part of the official notification. Confirm with the hiring office. Faculty posts at IIITs typically draw a strong pool of PhD applicants from across the country, since permanent posts at this level open only periodically. One honest trade-off: candidates can be posted at either the Gandhinagar campus, co-located with a government engineering college, or the Diu campus, and the notification gives the institute the right to decide placement. Candidates should also be ready for a written test, presentation or interview, not a document-only selection.
