Library Professional Trainee

This role is ideally suited for recent Master's graduates in Library and Information Science (First Class) with basic computer knowledge who are looking to gain practical experience in a prestigious academic library. The position offers an excellent learning environment for individuals comfortable with working in shifts, including mornings, evenings, nights, and on weekends/holidays, seeking a temporary, one-year professional traineeship.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment, higher remuneration with additional perks, or those unwilling to work in flexible shifts (including nights and weekends) should not apply. Individuals looking for accommodation facilities provided by the institute or those with significant prior experience seeking a career progression will find this traineeship unsuitable due to its temporary nature and focus on freshers/entry-level professionals.

Working at an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) offers immense prestige and exposure to state-of-the-art library systems and technologies. Although a temporary traineeship, it provides invaluable experience that can significantly boost future career prospects in academic, research, or specialized libraries across India. The scope for learning and professional networking within a top-tier institution is substantial, making it a strong stepping stone for library professionals.
