This is the job designation or role as mentioned in the JD along with other important details. This can also be the name of a fellowship or a fund. Basically, whatever it is that people need to apply for.

The post title should follow this format:

Formatting rules:

• Use a pipe '|' as the separator between fields
• Salary should be presented in LPA format
• Skip any field that is missing do not leave empty pipes. For example, if salary is undisclosed, write Role | City, Org
• For remote roles with no fixed city, write Remote in place of the city
• Keep the title concise, aim to stay under 60 characters so it doesn't get cut off in Google Search results

Examples of job titles

Examples of fellowships/funds

1. Meta Data

Google Search: how it displays your post

When someone finds an aikyam jobs listing on Google, they see two things: the title tag (blue link) and the meta description (grey text below). Getting these right improves click-through rates.

Meta Title (= Title Tag on Google)

• Google displays roughly 50–60 characters before truncating
• The Role | City, Org | Salary format works well here - it's scannable and keyword-rich
• Avoid ALL CAPS or filler words like "Amazing opportunity at…"
• Example: Research Associate at Nutgraph Social Data Lab | Delhi Jobs

Meta Description (grey text below) This is what appears as the description snippet on Google.

• Keep it between 140–160 characters (Google cuts off anything longer)
• Lead with the role and organisation, then add compensation if available
• Write it as a plain, direct sentence, no hashtags or bullet points
• Example: "Nutgraph is hiring a Research Associate in New Delhi! Study renewable energy & land systems. 3-6 years exp. Apply by May 7"
