IIT Guwahati Assistant Professor Recruitment 2026: Faculty Positions for Various Departments

This role is ideal for dedicated and meritorious academicians and researchers who hold a Ph.D. with an outstanding academic record and are keen on contributing to a premier technical institution. Candidates with less than three years of post-Ph.D. experience can apply for Grade II, while those with three or more years of experience can target Grade I. This special recruitment drive specifically encourages applications from SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS/PwBD categories. A strong research background and a commitment to teaching excellence are crucial across various specialized engineering and science disciplines.

Individuals lacking a Ph.D. or possessing a less than 'first class' equivalent in their preceding degree need not apply. Those without relevant experience (even for Grade II, which considers less than 3 years) or a strong academic foundation in the specified engineering/science disciplines will find it challenging. The absence of specific category certificates for the special drive, if applying under reservation, would also be a dealbreaker. Candidates who cannot meet the age criteria (preferably below 35, with relaxations for reserved categories) should reconsider.

Joining IIT Guwahati, an Institute of National Importance, offers immense prestige and a robust platform for academic and research growth.
