PR Professional

This role is ideal for individuals holding a First Class Master's degree in Journalism & Mass Communication, Public Relations, Communications, or Media & Communication. Candidates should possess 2-3 years of relevant experience in a recognized institution/organization and demonstrate proficiency in written and spoken English, Hindi, and Odia. Strong creative writing, social media management, media relations, graphic designing, and knowledge of AI-enabled PR tools are highly desirable. The position is suitable for those seeking temporary, consolidated pay employment with potential for extension, offering exposure to a prestigious academic environment like IIT Bhubaneswar.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment or direct employment with IIT Bhubaneswar should not apply, as this is an outsourced, temporary position. Those without the specified Master's degree or the minimum 2 years of relevant PR experience will not meet the essential criteria. Individuals expecting a traditional government pay scale with benefits, rather than a consolidated remuneration, may find this role unsuitable.

Working as a PR Professional for IIT Bhubaneswar, albeit through an outsourced agency (PRATYUSH), offers significant prestige and a valuable opportunity to build a professional network within a leading educational institution. While the position itself is temporary and contractual, the experience gained can be highly beneficial for career advancement in the communications and public relations sector. The role provides exposure to high-profile academic and research activities, enhancing one's professional portfolio.
