Indian Institute of Technology Mandi Project Associate Recruitment 2026 (1 Vacancy)

This role is ideal for highly motivated Indian nationals holding a B.Tech/MCA or equivalent in Computer Science or Information Technology with strong academic records (minimum 70% marks/7.0 CGPA). Candidates with demonstrable experience or strong interest in AI, Machine Learning, IoT, Python, Deep Learning, and Natural Language Processing will find this position particularly suitable. It offers a valuable opportunity for individuals seeking short-term, project-based research experience within a prestigious Indian Institute of Technology.

Candidates who do not meet the minimum educational qualification (B.Tech/MCA in CS/IT) or who are looking for a permanent, long-term government employment opportunity should not apply. Those seeking a traditional salary structure with benefits, as opposed to a consolidated, fixed-term remuneration, might also find this role unsuitable.

Working as a Project Associate at IIT Mandi provides an excellent platform for gaining practical experience in cutting-edge AI/ML research related to a socially impactful project (landslide monitoring). While temporary, this role significantly enhances one's professional resume, offering exposure to a premier academic environment and valuable networking opportunities that can accelerate career growth in both research and industry fields.
