The C-DAC Guwahati walk-in interview runs from 25 September to 9 October 2026 (Monday to Friday) at the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing, North East centre (CINE). Advertisement No. CINE/REC/2026/06, dated 22/09/2026, invites candidates for six types of technical posts: Project Manager, Full Stack Developer, Android Developer and Network Security. The notice gives indicative vacancies of 27 and monthly pay from Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 1,50,000. C-DAC is a Scientific Society under MeitY, Government of India, and every post is a contract position. This guide sets out the notice in tables so you can check eligibility, documents and timings quickly.

Walk-in Interview Schedule and Venue
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Dates | 25 September 2026 to 9 October 2026 (Monday to Friday) |
| Time | 2 pm to 6 pm (as printed in the notice) |
| Registration Window | 10 am to 11 am (as printed in the notice) |
| Venue | C-DAC, 5th Floor, IIT Guwahati Research Park, Amingaon, Guwahati, Assam – 781039 |
Unlike C-DAC CINE’s earlier notice, this one gives no post-wise dates. It names one window for all posts, so you can attend on any weekday in the period. There is no email deadline, and your documents are checked at the venue.
Timing Conflict in the Notice
The notice shows the interview time as 2 pm to 6 pm. Yet it also says candidates who register between 10 am and 11 am will be allowed to attend. These two timings do not match. The safest plan is to reach the venue before 10 am, since that satisfies both versions. You can also confirm by calling 0361-281039 or 8811080081, or by writing to the HR email addresses listed below.
Post-wise Vacancies and Experience
| Post (Domain) | Posts | Minimum Experience |
|---|---|---|
| Project Manager (Software System Architect) | 02 | 10 years |
| Senior Project Engineer (Full Stack Developer) | 10 | 4 years |
| Project Engineer (Full Stack Developer) | 10 | 2 years |
| Senior Project Engineer (Android Developer) | 02 | 4 years |
| Project Engineer (Android Developer) | 02 | 2 years (see note below) |
| Project Engineer (Network Security) | 01 | 1 year |
Full Stack Developer posts account for 20 of the 27 vacancies, so Java and React developers have the best odds. Experience must be relevant and post-qualification, which means it counts only after you finish the qualifying degree.
Discrepancy: Project Engineer (Android) Experience
The opening list in the notice says Project Engineer (Android Developer) needs a minimum of 4 years. The detailed post table says minimum 2 years. The Senior Project Engineer (Android) post needs 4 years in both places, so the 4-year figure for the junior post looks like a typing error. Treat 2 years as likely but unconfirmed, and check with CINE HR before you attend if you have between 2 and 4 years of Android experience.
Salary and Age Limit
| Post | Monthly Salary (Rs.) | Max Age |
|---|---|---|
| Project Manager (System Architect) | 1,00,000 – 1,50,000 | 56 years |
| Senior Project Engineer (Full Stack) | 60,000 – 1,00,000 | 40 years |
| Project Engineer (Full Stack) | 40,000 – 60,000 | 45 years |
| Senior Project Engineer (Android) | 60,000 – 1,00,000 | 40 years |
| Project Engineer (Android) | 40,000 – 60,000 | 45 years |
| Project Engineer (Network Security) | 40,000 – 60,000 | 45 years |
Each pay bracket is the starting pay for the minimum experience required. Candidates with more experience may get additional increments under C-DAC policy. The notice says reservations follow Government of India norms. It gives no age-relaxation table and no cut-off date for counting age, so ask HR how relaxation applies to you.
Educational Qualification
| Post Group | Essential Qualification (60% or equivalent CGPA) |
|---|---|
| Project Manager, Full Stack, Android | B.E/B.Tech in CSE/ECE/EEE or a relevant domain; OR M.E/M.Tech/PG in CSE/EEE/ECE or a relevant domain; OR Ph.D. (all but thesis) in a relevant discipline |
| Project Engineer (Network Security) | BE/B.Tech in Computer Science/IT/Electronics & Communication/Electronics or a relevant discipline; OR PG in Science/Computer Applications or a relevant domain; OR ME/M.Tech in a relevant discipline |
The qualification must be from an AICTE/UGC-approved institute or a recognised university. IT is not listed among the branches for the first group, though “relevant domain(s)” is allowed. If you hold a B.Tech in IT, confirm with HR. Where your university awards CGPA or grades, you must submit a percentage certificate and the awarded class along with the degree.

This drive carries a different advertisement number from CINE/REC/2026/01, and its terms differ. The contract here is for 1 year rather than 3. Do not mix up eligibility details between the two notices.
Selection Process
| Stage | What Happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Screening | Your eligibility and the details declared in the application form submitted at the venue are checked |
| 2. Interview | Screened-in candidates are interviewed; a written or skill test may also be held |
| 3. Final Selection | Based on academics, experience profile, test marks (if any) and interview performance |
C-DAC may raise the minimum criteria or limit interviews to candidates with more than the minimum experience if many people turn up. For that reason, list everything relevant you have done, such as e-Governance work, production support, app releases or security configurations, and don’t stop at the minimum. Meeting the minimum does not guarantee an interview.
How to Attend: Step by Step
- Read the full notice and General Terms and Conditions on www.cdac.in.

Candidates are not required to send hard copies of the form or documents to C-DAC beforehand. The form is not visible in the PDF text I reviewed, so download it from the official notice page.
Documents to Carry
| Document | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Filled application form with photograph | Mandatory for screening |

Which Post Suits You?
| Your Profile | Best-fit Post |
|---|---|
| 2-4 years of Java/Spring/React work | Project Engineer (Full Stack) |
| 4+ years in Java enterprise projects | Senior Project Engineer (Full Stack) |
| 2+ years building and publishing Android apps | Project Engineer (Android) |

| 1+ year in networking, firewalls and infrastructure security | Project Engineer (Network Security) |

Freshers cannot apply, because the lowest requirement is one year of relevant experience. Nothing in the notice limits applicants to Assam, so candidates from other states can also attend.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
| Mistake | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Arriving after 11 am | The notice allows registration only in the stated window |
| Counting internships or academic projects as experience | Not counted unless the notice specifies it |
| No percentage certificate for CGPA degrees | Mandatory proof of the 60% requirement |
| Experience claims without employer letters | May be rejected without prior intimation |
| Relying on an agent or consultant | C-DAC says it has authorised no agent for recruitment |
| Canvassing | Leads to disqualification |
