AI Consultant — TN e-Gov

About this AI Consultant role at ELCOT (Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu)

ELCOT, the state electronics agency of Tamil Nadu, is hiring AI Consultants to power Chennai's e-Governance projects under the GPS framework. This is a direct-apply consultant role for mid-level AI professionals—no exam required. If you have 4+ years building AI/ML systems and want to shape how Tamil Nadu's government uses AI at scale, this is your entry point.

What you'll do

• Design and deploy AI/ML solutions for Tamil Nadu's e-Governance platform, translating policy requirements into working models
• Develop and fine-tune machine learning models using Python and deep learning frameworks to solve government service delivery problems
• Build data pipelines and preprocessing workflows that feed government e-Governance systems with clean, validated data
• Collaborate with government stakeholders and technical teams to integrate AI systems into live e-Governance workflows
• Document model performance, create deployment guides, and ensure solutions meet government compliance and scalability standards

Who should apply

You need a B.Tech degree and at least 4 years of hands-on AI or machine learning delivery experience—not academic projects, but shipped models or systems in production. You should be comfortable with Python, deep learning, and model development. If you've worked in government tech or e-Governance systems before, that's valuable, but your core strength must be AI/ML engineering.

Salary & offer in context

ELCOT offers ₹1,00,000–₹1,40,000 per month on a 2-year contract. For mid-level AI consultants in India, this sits at the upper-middle of the market range—AI engineer salaries across India for similar experience typically span ₹80,000–₹1,50,000/month depending on sector and location. Government consultant roles like this often include job security and benefits that private firms don't.

Path to apply

This is a direct-application role through ELCOT's online portal on elcot.in/careers—no competitive exam, no written test. You submit your resume, portfolio, and work samples; if shortlisted, you interview directly. The application deadline is June 1, 2026, so apply soon if you're interested.
