IIT Delhi CARE Assistant Professor Recruitment: Year-Round Notice
Reviewed: 3 November 2026. The Centre for Applied Research in Electronics (CARE) advertises Assistant Professor recruitment and says online applications can be submitted throughout the year.
Application-route caution: this is a standing centre notice. A current CARE-specific processing cycle or matching central advertisement was not verified. Confirm the route with CARE before submitting.

2. Faculty Recruitment
Official CARE recruitment statement:
CARE is looking for outstanding applicants at the Assistant Professor level in the areas of Microelectronics, Microwaves and RF, and Data Science and Signal Processing. We are specifically interested in the following expertise:
- Terahertz Electronics
- RFIC
- MMIC
- MEMS
- Microwave Circuits
- Under Water Acoustics and Signal Processing for IoT
- Modern Radar Systems
Applications can be submitted online throughout the year. For further details or queries, you may contact:
CareerAidHub editorial guidance: select the area that best matches your strongest research outputs. Explain your own contribution to publications, prototypes, algorithms, circuits or experimental systems. A broad keyword match alone does not demonstrate research fit.
3. Deadline, eligibility and current status
CARE does not publish detailed qualification, experience, age or nationality conditions in its short notice. It directs queries to the Head of CARE, identified there as Prof. Monika Aggarwal.
IIT Delhi’s central jobs page lists Rolling Advertisement IITD/2026/AP-1. The linked document states a 30 June 2026, 23:59 IST deadline and does not include CARE among its recruiting academic units. It therefore does not confirm a current CARE application window.
For context only, that central document requires a relevant PhD with first class or equivalent in the preceding degree and a consistently good academic record. Grade I requires at least three years of qualifying experience, excluding experience before and during the PhD; candidates with less experience may be considered for Grade II. These provisions should not be assumed to establish CARE eligibility without a matching notice.
Before applying: obtain the applicable advertisement number, confirm that CARE can be selected in the portal, and ask about the next review cut-off. Do not use an expired central deadline as a future date or interpret “year-round” as a guaranteed interview schedule.
4. How to proceed
The following is CareerAidHub’s preparation advice, not a verified CARE document checklist.
- Read the centre notice. Use the official link at the end of this article and locate “Faculty Recruitment”.
- Clarify the application route. Contact the Head through CARE’s faculty directory. Ask which current central notice and portal option apply.
- Prepare evidence of fit. Organise your CV, degree records, employment history and publication list. Keep contributions and dates consistent across documents.
- Draft a focused research plan. Explain the question, proposed methods, required facilities and realistic first-stage work. Identify what you would contribute independently.
- Prepare teaching evidence. Map your expertise to suitable courses and describe how you would teach or develop them.
- Check the confirmed instructions. Verify referee requirements, file limits, certificates, employer consent and any category documentation before uploading.
- Submit through the formal route. Save the completed application and acknowledgement. An informal email should not be treated as a completed application.
Questions to resolve with IIT Delhi
Confirm the appointment grade, eligibility criteria, processing date, pay and allowances, and any restrictions affecting your circumstances. Overseas applicants should also clarify the appropriate appointment and work-authorisation route. No salary, start date or vacancy count is inferred here.

6. Frequently asked questions
Is IIT Delhi CARE accepting faculty applications?
CARE’s website says applications may be submitted online throughout the year. The applicable current central advertisement and portal route still need confirmation with the centre.
Which faculty rank does CARE advertise?
The centre’s notice specifies Assistant Professor. It does not advertise Associate Professor or Professor in that section.
What research fields are listed?
Microelectronics, Microwaves and RF, and Data Science and Signal Processing. The named specialisms appear in the research-fit section above.
Is there a fixed CARE application deadline?
The centre gives year-round submission wording rather than a closing date. Confirm any processing cut-off before submitting.
Does the March 2026 central advertisement establish a CARE vacancy?
No. CARE is absent from that document’s recruiting-unit list, and its stated submission deadline has passed.
Are salary and vacancy numbers confirmed?
The CARE notice does not specify either. Obtain the applicable recruitment notice before relying on pay, vacancy or appointment terms.
Can overseas researchers apply?
Confirm nationality eligibility and the relevant appointment route with IIT Delhi. The brief CARE notice does not establish those conditions.
Does an email enquiry replace an application?
Treat correspondence as clarification. Use the formal application process IIT Delhi confirms for CARE, and retain the submission acknowledgement.
