# IITM Pune to walk in for 31 project posts from 22 October 2026-10-22T07:01:58+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune, will conduct walk-in interviews and tests from 22 to 29 October 2026 to fill 31 project posts under Advertisement Number PER/07/2026. The vacancies include Senior Project Associate, Project Associate II and I, Technical Assistant, Project Assistant, and Field/Laboratory Assistant. Pay ranges from Rs 20,000 plus HRA to Rs 42,000 plus HRA per month, and all posts are purely temporary on short-term contracts. Candidates must report between 0900 and 1000 hrs on the designated day at the specified venue. The main venue is IITM Pune, with additional venues in New Delhi, Guwahati, Tezpur, Bhopal, Chennai, and Mahabaleshwar. Two named projects are the Norway-IITM COPE initiative on heat and air pollution health impacts, and a Rajasthan Pollution Control Board project for air pollution forecasting in Jaipur. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The 31 posts are purely temporary and tied to short-term projects, meaning candidates must weigh the modest pay, ₹20,000 to ₹42,000 plus HRA, against the lack of permanency. IITM's climate research work under the Norway-backed COPE project and the Rajasthan Pollution Control Board contract may offer some researchers a foothold in atmospheric science, but each post has its own walk-in date and venue, and latecomers after 1000 hrs are barred. The walk-ins run from 22 to 29 October, after that, the posts revert to the next recruitment cycle. ## Coverage - freejobalert.com Straight job posting with no editorial slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
