The Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University), Varanasi, an Institute of National Importance established under an Act of Parliament, has released Advertisement No. 03/2026-27 dated 24 August 2026, inviting online applications through the SAMARTH Portal for 55 non-faculty posts across five cadres – Administrative, Technical, Library, Engineering and Rajbhasha. The 55 posts span 10 post codes: Junior Superintendent (21 posts), five groups of Junior Technicians (26 posts combined), Junior Library Assistant (2 posts), Assistant Engineer (2 posts), Junior Engineer (3 posts) and Junior Translation Officer (1 post). The online application portal at iitbhunt.samarth.edu.in opens from 25 August 2026 and closes on 24 September 2026 at 5:00 PM. All eligibility is reckoned as on the last date of online submission. Appointment is on regular terms with a probation period as per Institute norms.
Important – Read Before You Apply: Four things that will cost you the application if missed. First, the online submission on SAMARTH is not the complete application – you must additionally send a printed copy of the submitted form with all self-attested documents and the experience certificate in Annexure-A format by Speed Post to the Registrar, IIT (BHU), Varanasi – 221005, within 7 days of the online closing date, which means the hard copy must be dispatched by 1 October 2026. Second, candidates currently employed in Government, Semi-Government, Autonomous Bodies or Educational Institutions must upload a No Objection Certificate and Vigilance Clearance while applying online – if they are unable to do so, these documents must be produced at the interview, but failing to handle this at either stage will affect their candidature. Third, no change or correction is allowed after online submission under any circumstances – verify every field, especially qualification percentage and experience details, before you click Submit, since the entire shortlisting is based on what you enter in the form. Fourth, the Institute reserves the right to apply more stringent criteria than the advertised minimum for shortlisting, and to offer selected posts on a contract basis instead of regular appointment depending on performance in the selection process.
