Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati Recruitment 2026: 9 Project Engineer & Language Expert Vacancies

This recruitment is ideal for engineering graduates (BE/BTech/BS/MSc/MCA) with a background in CSE/IT, or humanities/linguistics postgraduates (MA/BA) with strong proficiency in Indian languages (Hindi, Assamese, Boro, Nepali, Manipuri). Candidates seeking short-term (11-month) project-based research experience at a prestigious national institution will find these roles highly suitable, especially those with prior experience in language translation or annotation for the Sr Language Expert position.

Individuals looking for permanent government employment or long-term positions should not apply, as these are contractual roles for a duration of 11 months. Candidates lacking the specific engineering qualifications for the Project Engineer role, or without the required linguistic background and strong Indian language proficiency (particularly for the Language Expert positions), will not be suitable. Those requiring campus accommodation or TA/DA for interviews should also note that these are not provided.

Working with the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati offers significant prestige and a valuable addition to one's resume, particularly within research and development. Although the positions are contractual, they provide an excellent opportunity to gain specialized experience in cutting-edge projects like 'Center for Indian Language Data'. This experience can be a strong foundation for future academic, research, or industry roles in linguistic science, technology, and project management.
