Are you looking for a stable job in a reputed institute as a techie? There’s some good news. IIM Kozhikode invites online applications for the post of Software Engineer (.NET) on contract basis. If you have some coding experience and want to work in an academic setting this may be great for you.
About the Post
IIM Kozhikode has announced 1 vacancy for the post of Software Engineer (.NET). It’s a contractual job, and the selected candidate will work on web and mobile app development for the internal systems of the institute.
How to apply: Applications are to be made online only. Last date for applying is 02 August 2026.
Eligibility Criteria
The eligibility isn't complicated, but it does come in two tracks depending on your degree:
If you are a B. Tech/BE (CS, IT, ECE, EE), MCA, M.Sc, M. Tech or MS in Software Systems you require 2 years of relevant experience.
If you are from BCA, B.Sc or three year diploma background then you need bit more experience, 3 years.
Either way, the institute wants someone who has actually built things end-to-end — think full-stack development or mobile app development, not just theoretical know-how. And yes, there's an age cap too: 30 years is the upper limit.
Salary Offered
Selected candidate will be paid a monthly salary of Rs. 35,300. This is a good package for a contract role especially for someone who is looking to get experience in a top management institute.

Practical test
Interview
Document verification
So it’s worth brushing up on your coding fundamentals before applying.
