About IIM Indore
IIM Indore is one of India’s Indian Institutes of Management, a public management school that runs postgraduate, doctoral and executive programmes and takes up research and consultancy work. This particular notice is for project-based positions, separate from the Institute’s regular faculty or administrative staff recruitment. For a candidate, the appeal is short-term, resume-building project work with a premier national institute rather than a standard campus job. (This paragraph draws on general public information about IIM Indore beyond the notification itself — added context, not part of the official notice.)
How this IIM Indore Recruitment 2026 compares
This is a pan-India, all-qualifications recruitment, not tied to a single state or region. The email address given for applications, amrut1ia@iimidr.ac.in, combined with the sectors named in the desirable skills — water supply, sanitation, environmental management, urban infrastructure, and O&M sustainability — points to this project being connected to a government urban infrastructure programme, though the notice itself does not name the project. This is added context, not part of the official notification. Confirm with the hiring office.
Other IIMs have also run similar project or contract-based hiring drives in 2026, including non-teaching and management-trainee positions at IIM Mumbai and IIM Amritsar. Like this one, those roles were temporary, tied to a fixed tenure, and carried no claim to regular employment. This is added context, not part of the official notification.
Important dates
The notice does not state a release date or an application opening date. The one date it gives is the deadline.

Remuneration: The notice states that selected candidates will get a consolidated monthly remuneration, set according to their qualifications, experience, suitability for the post, and project norms, and adds that salary will not be a limiting factor for exceptional candidates. No fixed pay scale or amount is given for any post.
Nature of the appointment: Every position under this notice is purely temporary and contractual, tied to the project, and ends when the project ends. None of these posts carries any claim to regular employment, absorption, or continuation at IIM Indore. IIM Indore may fill the 107 posts in phases as the project needs them, and can end an engagement before the full tenure by giving 15 days’ notice, based on project needs or performance. The notice also clarifies that “Senior” and “Junior” labels do not set a reporting hierarchy — the Project Manager decides the reporting structure based on project requirements.
Eligibility
The qualifications and experience required is different for each of the five posts. The age limit is not mentioned in the official notification for any post.
Project Manager (1 post)
- Qualification: Ph.D. or postgraduate degree in Engineering, Management, or a related discipline, with relevant project management experience.
- Experience: 10+ years managing large-scale infrastructure or government projects, with cross-functional leadership and stakeholder management.

- Experience: 0–3 years. Freshers or active 3rd/4th-year students may apply. Basic field or survey experience is preferred, not mandatory.

The notice lists skills it prefers, though does not require, across all five posts:
- Experience on Government, externally funded, or large-scale infrastructure projects.
- Knowledge of water supply, sanitation, environmental management, infrastructure development, or public health engineering.
- Working knowledge of AutoCAD, GIS, MS Office, project management software, or data analytics tools.

IIM Indore Recruitment 2026 – Selection process

- Personal interview — for shortlisted candidates.
The notice states that only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for further stages, and that no correspondence regarding the recruitment process will be entertained. It also warns that any form of canvassing will lead to disqualification, and that IIM Indore’s decision on all matters relating to this recruitment is final and binding. Meeting the minimum eligibility criteria does not by itself entitle a candidate to a call for the next stage.

Should you apply?
This recruitment suits very different candidates depending on the post. The 90 B.Tech/ITI vacancies are a realistic entry point for freshers or students in their final years, since the notice explicitly allows them to apply and only prefers field or survey experience rather than requiring it. The Project Manager, Advisor, and senior Technical Expert posts suit candidates already well into an infrastructure or public-sector career, given the 8- to 15-year experience bars.
The main trade-off across every post is the same: this is temporary, contractual, project-tied work with no claim to a permanent role at IIM Indore, and tenures run from as short as 3 months (extendable) up to 7 months. It suits someone who wants project experience with a premier institute on their resume, or a foothold into government infrastructure work, more than someone looking for long-term job security. This assessment is added context, not part of the official notification.
