Quick answer: AI Engineer contract role at West Bengal e-Gov (WBEIDC). ₹75K–₹1.1L/month, 2-year term. Requires B.Tech + 3+ years AI/ML. Direct application via interview. GPS-eligible state government direct-hire pathway.
WBEIDC is hiring AI Engineers on a 2-year contract to drive West Bengal's state digital initiatives forward. Based in Kolkata, this mid-level role offers you a chance to work on government-backed AI projects that impact the state's technology infrastructure — a direct path for engineers who want meaningful work in India's growing government tech sector.
You'll need a B.Tech degree and at least 3 years of hands-on experience in AI and machine learning. This is a mid-level AI engineer role — if you've worked on ML projects, built models with TensorFlow or PyTorch, and understand data structures, you're in the right ballpark. You don't need government sector experience, but comfort with learning domain-specific problems quickly will help.
WBEIDC offers ₹75,000–₹1,10,000 per month for this contract role. For a mid-level AI engineer in India, this sits in the solid mid-tier range — comparable to similar ML roles in tier-2 tech hubs, though notably below metro-based AI engineer salaries. The 2-year contract term gives you structured tenure and project stability.
This is a direct-application role — no competitive exam required. You apply online through WBEIDC's careers portal at wbeidc.gov.in/careers, then move straight to interviews. The deadline is June 4, 2026, so if this matches your profile, apply soon. Government contract roles like this often move quickly once the hiring window opens.
