The stringent eligibility criteria, 25 years of experience and a postgraduate degree, narrow the field to senior technologists or retired defence personnel. The next step is the 26 November application deadline, after which the university will shortlist and interview candidates. ## Coverage - nenow.in Straight job listing with no editorial framing.
