The Director will be appointed based on recommendations from a Search-cum-Selection Committee, which will consider both applications from this advertisement and nominations from esteemed individuals. The appointment will be on a contractual basis for five years or until the candidate reaches 70 years of age, whichever comes first.

Interested candidates can apply online using the application form available at education.gov.in and nitcouncil.org.in. The online application window opens on November 4, 2024, and closes on December 3, 2024, at 11.59pm.
