Indian Institute of Technology Goa Project Associate-I Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for recent B.Tech/B.E. or M.Tech/M.E. graduates in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Production, or Materials engineering who possess a strong academic record (minimum 6.5 CGPA or 60%). Candidates with a qualified GATE score are highly preferred and will receive a higher stipend. Individuals with a keen interest and desirable experience in prototype development, machining, and vibration analysis, especially those looking to contribute to cutting-edge robotics and precision machining research, will find this a valuable opportunity.

Candidates without a B.Tech/B.E. or M.Tech/M.E. degree in the specified engineering disciplines, or those who do not meet the minimum academic performance criteria (6.5 CGPA/60%), should not apply. The absence of a GATE score will result in a lower stipend. This is a project-based contractual position for one year, making it unsuitable for those seeking permanent government employment immediately.

Working as a Project Associate-I at an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) like IIT Goa offers significant academic and research prestige. This role provides an excellent opportunity to gain practical experience in advanced robotics and precision manufacturing, which can be highly beneficial for future academic pursuits (e.g., PhD) or R&D roles in industry. While it's a contractual position, the experience at a premier institution like IIT Goa enhances one's professional profile significantly, opening doors for long-term growth in research and specialized engineering fields.
