Lab Attendant (Semi-skilled)	01	18–30	₹20,000	12th pass, physically fit

There is just one vacancy, and all categories of candidates are eligible to apply for it. The position is for a project in the Department of Civil Engineering.

Eligibility, Simply Explained

• You must have passed the 12th standard (Intermediate) from a recognized board.
• You must be in good health and physically fit — the nature of lab attendant work demands it.
• An ITI certificate in a relevant trade is desirable and will strengthen your application, though it is not mandatory.
• You must be an Indian citizen. Both men and women can apply.

Age Limit

• Minimum age: 18 years; maximum age: 30 years, counted as on 28 September 2026.
• Candidates from reserved categories get upper-age relaxation as per government rules.

Salary and Nature of the Post — Read This Carefully

The selected candidate will receive ₹20,000 per month. But here is the part most people miss: this engagement is on a contractual / ad-hoc basis for a maximum of 3 years. It is not a regular or permanent appointment, and it does not carry the service benefits of a permanent post. Apply with that understanding — it is still a valuable stint at an IIT, and the experience counts, but it is not a permanent sarkari naukri.

Important Dates

Event	Date
Age counted as on	28 September 2026
Last date for application to reach	18 October 2026

A note on the last date: the widely shared vacancy image mentions 18 October 2026, while a couple of job portals mention 19 October 2026. To stay safe, treat 18 October 2026 as your deadline and make sure your application reaches Varanasi before that. Do not wait for the last day — postal delays are your risk, not the institute’s.

How to Apply Offline — Step by Step

There is no online form and no prescribed application format. You apply on plain paper:

1. Write your application on plain paper with all your details — name, father’s name, date of birth, address, mobile number, email, educational qualifications, experience (if any), and category.
2. Superscribe the envelope — on top of the envelope, write in English capital letters: Application for the post of Lab Attendant (Semi Skilled), Category.
3. Attach self-attested photocopies of all required documents (list below). Do NOT send original certificates.
4. Send it so that it reaches the following address on or before 18 October 2026, either by hand or by post:
   Dr. Bala Ramudu Paramkusam (PI), Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT-BHU), Varanasi – 221005 (UP)
5. Keep a photocopy of your complete application for your own record.

Documents to Attach

Send self-attested photocopies only — never the originals:

1. Educational qualification certificates (12th marksheet/certificate, ITI if any)
2. Date of birth proof
3. Caste certificate photocopy (for reserved-category applicants)
4. Aadhaar card or other photo ID photocopy
5. Experience certificate photocopy (if the post is relevant to your experience)
6. Computer or other certificates (if you hold any)

A few rules from the notification worth following strictly: do not cut or overwrite anything on the application — fill every column neatly in your own handwriting; write “Not Applicable” or “N.A.” in columns that don’t apply to you; fill your current, working mobile number and email clearly, because shortlisted candidates are informed about the test/interview only through mobile/email.

Selection Process

Only shortlisted candidates will be informed about the written test/interview through mobile or email. You will have to appear at your own expense — no travel allowance is paid. Final engagement is contractual, as explained above.

3 Things Most Applicants Get Wrong About This Vacancy

1. Assuming it is a permanent job. It is not. The notification is explicit: the appointment is on a contractual basis for a maximum of 3 years. It will not convert into a permanent post.

2. Trusting the viral image blindly. The widely circulated image itself says these are “unofficial instructions” and asks candidates to check the official notification for complete details. Always cross-check the last date and terms on the institute’s official website before applying.

3. Sending originals or an incomplete application. Originals are never asked for at the application stage — self-attested copies only. And an application with cutting, overwriting, or a switched-off mobile number is an easy reject.
