AI government jobs in India that were open on official recruitment pages on 14 November 2026 come to five: Young Professional posts at Digital India Corporation’s BHASHINI division, closing 10 December 2026 at ₹50,000 a month as notified. IndiaAI’s own portal listed no AI post that day, and C-DAC’s national round closed on 26 October.

What AI government jobs are open in India right now?
Five, counting only posts a government body has notified on its own site that still take applications. We read the recruitment pages of Digital India Corporation, the IndiaAI application portal, C-DAC, DRDO and NIELIT on 14 November 2026. Only one of them had an AI or machine learning post you could still apply for, and all five such posts sit in a single advertisement.
That advertisement is Advt. No. N/351/2024-DIC/06, dated 10 November 2026, from the Digital India BHASHINI Division, the team behind the national language translation mission. It invites applications for 08 Young Professional positions. Five of them work on AI models or the systems that serve them, and they are listed on the Digital India Corporation openings page with a last date of 10 December 2026.
| Post, as notified | Recruiting body | Posts | Experience the notice asks for | Last date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Young Professional: AI Engineer | BHASHINI, Digital India Corporation | 1 | 1 year in core algorithms, NLP, CV, ASR, OCR and generative models | 10 Dec 2026 |
| Young Professional: ML Engineer | BHASHINI, Digital India Corporation | 1 | 1 year developing and optimising ML and DL models | 10 Dec 2026 |
| Young Professional: MLOps | BHASHINI, Digital India Corporation | 1 | 1 year in deployment automation and monitoring, such as MLflow or Kubeflow | 10 Dec 2026 |
| Young Professional: API Developer | BHASHINI, Digital India Corporation | 1 | 1 year wrapping AI models into APIs and SDKs | 10 Dec 2026 |
| Young Professional: Cloud Technology Engineer | BHASHINI, Digital India Corporation | 1 | 1 year on AWS, GCP or Azure | 10 Dec 2026 |
One post each. That is the honest size of it. The same advertisement carries three non technical Young Professional posts, in design, content and customer onboarding, closing the same day; they are not AI jobs, so they are left out of the count.
The IndiaAI online recruitment portal, where IndiaAI Mission posts have taken applications in the past, listed 24 openings on 14 November 2026. Not one was an IndiaAI Mission post: they belonged to the National e-Governance Division, the data protection project and BHASHINI. NIELIT’s recruitment page returned an empty shell to every tool we tried, so we could not check it, and nothing on this page should be read as saying NIELIT has no AI posts.
Which AI government jobs have already closed but still show as open?
More than the ones that are open. The surprise is that the official sites do it too, not only the job aggregators. Digital India Corporation’s “Open Job” category still carried four AI posts whose own pages give last dates that had passed, and C-DAC’s “Current Openings” list still led with a national round that closed nearly three weeks earlier.
| Post or round | Where it still shows, 14 Nov 2026 | Last date on the notice |
|---|---|---|
| Data Scientist (AI and ML), Digital India Corporation | Open Job category | 4 Nov 2026 |
| Full Stack Developer (AI/ML and Web Applications), Digital India Corporation | Open Job category | 4 Nov 2026 |
| Manager, HR Operations (AI Team), Digital India Corporation | Open Job category | 4 Nov 2026 |
| Program Manager (AI), Digital India Corporation | Open Job category | 1 Nov 2026 |
| C-DAC contractual posts at all levels across India, Advt. CORP/JIT/03/2026 | C-DAC Current Openings | 26 Oct 2026, per the C-DAC corrigendum |
| Junior Research Fellow, DRDO Young Scientist Laboratory, Artificial Intelligence | Aggregator copies | 14 Aug 2026, per the DYSL-AI advertisement of 23 July 2026 |
None of this is sinister. A post is filed under “open” when it goes up, and nobody is paid to move it when the date passes. The aggregators copy that list and add their own lag, which is how a “Sarkari AI job” from August keeps doing the rounds on WhatsApp in November.
The rule that saves an evening: open the notification itself, find the last date, and compare it with today. If a site will not show you the notification, it is not the place to apply.
Who can apply for the BHASHINI AI posts?
Graduates in technology with at least a year of real work behind them, aged 32 or under. The BHASHINI notification sets the same degree bar for all five technical posts: B.S., B.E., B.Tech, M.S., M.E., M.Tech or MCA in technology subjects, with preference for computer science, AI or information technology.
Three lines in the notice decide most applications, so read them before anything else. Experience is counted as on the last date and “Internship or training experience will not be considered”, which rules out most final year students and fresh graduates whose only work is an internship. The age limit is 32 years as on the last date. And anyone already working for a central or state government body, a public sector undertaking or an autonomous body has to apply through proper channel or bring a No Objection Certificate.
The notice states a consolidated monthly remuneration of ₹50,000, inclusive of all, subject to statutory deductions and TDS. That is the figure as notified on 10 November 2026, for these posts only; rates change between advertisements and nothing about selection is guaranteed. The current job location is Noida, though the notice says a Young Professional may be posted anywhere in India. Applications are online only, within 30 days of the advertisement, through the BHASHINI, DIC, NeGD or MeitY website.
Not sure whether you would be better off aiming at contract AI work outside government while you build the one year the notice asks for? The two minute match quiz sorts AI work by what it asks of you, without asking for anything back.
Which open notice fits your profile?
Pick the line closest to you. This restates the notices in the tables above; it does not predict selection.
Based on Advt. No. N/351/2024-DIC/06 as read on 14 November 2026. The notice itself decides.
Are AI government jobs in India regular government posts?
Not the ones notified this year. Every AI post we found was a contract or a fellowship, and each notice says so in plain words. This is the line the “a government job is a job for life” crowd skips.
| Notice | Type of engagement | Term | Pay as notified | Upper age |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BHASHINI Young Professional, Advt. N/351/2024-DIC/06 | Contract, under NITI Aayog Young Professional guidelines | 1 year or end of project, whichever is earlier | ₹50,000 a month, consolidated | 32 |
| DRDO DYSL-AI Junior Research Fellow, Ref. DYSL-AI/JRF/HR/2026-27/01 | Research fellowship | Two years as JRF, then SRF for two or three more, subject to annual review | ₹37,000 a month stipend plus HRA, stated as ₹48,100 in total | 28 |
| C-DAC JIT round, Advt. CORP/JIT/03/2026 | Contractual positions at all levels | Not read; the full notice was not linked on the C-DAC page on 14 Nov | Not read | Not read |
The BHASHINI notice says the positions are “purely temporary in nature” and that appointees gain no claim to a regular post at the corporation. It also lets the corporation fill all, some or none of the positions, and end an engagement with a month’s notice or a month’s pay. The terms follow NITI Aayog guidelines no. A-12036/2/2023-Adm.IB of 7 July 2023, which the notice names. DRDO’s advertisement calls its fellowship “purely of temporary in nature” and says it gives no right to absorption in DRDO. Read those as what they are: well regarded, useful, time limited work at a public AI mission, not a sarkari naukri with a pension.
What do C-DAC candidates report about the selection process?
A written test, one or two online interviews, a document upload, and long silences. C-DAC’s earlier 2026 rounds hired AI and security project engineers in Hyderabad, and candidates posted their timelines on Reddit. We read three threads and 48 comments, dated July to November 2026. These are what people report, not C-DAC’s process as published, and none of it predicts anyone’s result.
The fullest account, posted on r/CDAC_DAC in July 2026, describes a computer based test on 16 May 2026, a preliminary interview on Webex on 22 May, a final panel of five or six people on 1 June, and an appointment letter on 2 July. The poster says the panel opened their GitHub, and that arranging a provisional degree certificate took a month, because nothing moved without it. They declined the offer for another job.
A second r/CDAC_DAC thread from August and September 2026, about the Project Engineer (Cyb Sec, BC, AI/ML) round, follows preliminary interviews on 19 and 20 August, a document upload email on 31 August and final interviews around 8 September, one of which a commenter says lasted about 20 minutes. In the same thread, someone who interviewed on 1 June had still heard nothing by 1 September. A third thread on r/hyderabad, October 2026, covers a Project Engineer (AI Red Teaming) post: written test on 11 October, an online interview with two people on 21 October that asked about attacks on AI systems and web security, a document request on 28 October, and candidates still waiting on 5 November.
Where the accounts agree with C-DAC’s own site: the stages are real, and C-DAC does publish shortlists and select lists as PDFs on its careers page, including a 21 October 2026 shortlist for the Hyderabad JIT-13 round after its 11 October written test, the same test the third thread describes. Where they part company: candidates who are not selected often get no email at all, so the select list PDF, not your inbox, is the answer. Several commenters rang the HR number printed in their interview email, which is the only contact route the threads mention.
Does the getAIwork board list Indian government AI jobs?
Not one. The free getAIwork board, which anyone can browse without signing up, held 1,943 live listings in its stats file updated 13 November 2026, out of 50,438 screened since launch. We crawled every listing on 14 November: 98 named India as the country, and none came from an Indian government body. Indian government AI posts are notified on the bodies’ own sites, and we will not put a copy of a notice on the board without its notification number and last date.
What the board does hold is a quieter cousin of the search. 15 listings from micro1, an AI training company, ask for people with US federal or defence experience, such as a Federal Budget Analyst or a Defense Analyst, to review and write material that trains AI models. Their pay ran from $40 to $250 an hour as listed on 14 November 2026, depending on the role; rates change and nothing is guaranteed. They are remote contract work for a private company, not government jobs, and they suit former US public servants rather than Indian applicants. If AI and public policy is your angle, our page on AI governance jobs covers the private roles that sit closest to it.
How do you spot a fake AI government job notice?
Look for three things a real notice always has: an advertisement number, a last date and a government domain. Every genuine notice we read on 14 November 2026 had all three, from N/351/2024-DIC/06 on a digitalindiacorporation.in address to CORP/JIT/03/2026 on cdac.in. The BHASHINI notification mentions no application fee anywhere in its six pages, and it says only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
So a Telegram recruiter “hiring for the IndiaAI Mission” who wants money for a training kit has, at the very least, not read the notice. Treat any message that asks for money, sends you to a form on a domain that is not the recruiting body’s or its stated portal, or cannot name an advertisement number, as unverified until the official page says otherwise. Our guide to AI jobs for freshers lists the private routes that do take people without a year of experience, and AI jobs with no experience covers the contract work that asks for less again.
If the BHASHINI posts are out of reach for now because of the one year rule, the match quiz for AI work without experience points at work that does not ask for it, and the board above is where those listings sit.
