Deputy Director

This role is ideally suited for highly accomplished, senior-level academics within NIT Meghalaya who possess a strong track record as a Professor for at least 5 years and have leadership experience as an HoD or Dean for a minimum of 2 years. Candidates must demonstrate significant experience in PhD-level research guidance, a stellar academic record, and a proven ability to contribute across academic, administrative, and outreach domains. This position is perfect for an internal candidate seeking a challenging administrative role with significant influence on the institution's strategic direction.

Candidates who are not current Senior Faculty members of NIT Meghalaya or who do not meet the minimum experience requirements as a Professor (5 years) and HoD/Dean (2 years) should not apply, as these are mandatory criteria. Those exceeding 60 years of age as of July 27, 2026, are also ineligible. Individuals without substantial research guidance experience at the PhD level or a strong academic and administrative background will find this role unsuitable.

Serving as Deputy Director at a National Institute of Technology, an Institution of National Importance, offers immense professional prestige and significant responsibility in academic administration. The role is contractual for an initial three years, with potential extensions, providing a stable platform for a senior leader to shape the academic and research landscape of a prominent technical institution. This position offers a chance for significant impact and career progression within the national higher education system.
