NIT Uttarakhand Counsellor Recruitment 2026: Key Details

The official advertisement specifies one post and provides separate consolidated remuneration depending on whether the selected candidate holds a PhD.

What Are the Requirements for the NIT Uttarakhand Counsellor Post?

The applicant must have a Master’s degree in either Psychology or Clinical Psychology, and while a PhD is preferred, it is not a requirement. Members applying for this post must possess at least 6 months of experience in providing counselling sessions or psychotherapy.

With these recruitment requirements, it is highly beneficial for psychology professionals who have practice-based counselling experience over book-based experience, rather than applicants who have academia-based experience.

What is the Salary for the NIT Uttarakhand Counsellor Position?

The salary for this recruitment is divided into two groups.

• For candidates with a PhD, the proposed salary was fixed at Rs. 70,000 per month.
• For candidates without a PhD, the proposed salary was fixed at Rs. 50,000 per month.

This is a contractual position. Employment or absorption into the Institute in the future is not guaranteed.

Applicants must submit their application via email in a single PDF containing their application form, original copies of all relevant documents, their CV, and a government-issued photo ID. Email your application to this address by noon on September 19, 2026:

deansw@nituk.ac.in

Final Thoughts

The NIT Uttarakhand Recruitment 2026 is specific to only those in the psychology profession who have study and practical experience in counselling and psychotherapy. The ₹70,000 salary for PhD holders is an added advantage for the candidate. Even those without a PhD can apply for the ₹50,000 contractual post.

The recruitment consists of two steps with deadlines that should not be mixed up. The email application should reach NIT Uttarakhand by September 19, 4 PM. The walk-in interview is set for September 23, with a reporting time of 10 AM. Anyone who reaches after 11 AM will not be considered for the interview. Before publishing, one point has to be confirmed: the advertisement PDF says the ADVT NO. 06/2026 was published on September 8, 2026. However, on NIT Uttarakhand's recruitment web page, the same Counsellor advertisement is posted under 07/2026. Until the conflict is resolved by the Institute, the article should not quote the advertisement number.
