Important Notes & Tips
Double-check whether the software vs hardware posts specify specialisation streams (e.g., CSE/IT/ECE or Hardware Security/Embedded Systems) — sometimes hardware posts require specific backgrounds.
Make sure you meet the technical/engineering discipline stipulated; vague terms like “B.Tech/B.E” may still require specific branch.
Since vacancies are few (only 5), ensure your application is complete and submitted well before deadline to avoid technical issues.
Prepare a strong CV detailing relevant projects, internships, if applying for “Software” or “Hardware” track.
Verify whether the contract is for a fixed term and check any other benefits, terms or location obligations.
Do not rely solely on tertiary job-alert websites — refer to the official SETS notification PDF for exact terms, reservation (if any), bond/tenure etc.
