Best-Fit Profile

This role is most suitable for Master's degree holders (M.E./M.Tech./M.Sc.) in Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering/Science, Biotechnology Engineering, or Biochemical Science, especially those with First Class marks/CGPA. Candidates aspiring for a Ph.D. at SVNIT Surat will find this a valuable opportunity. Those with valid CSIR-UGC NET or GATE scores are preferred for the Junior Research Fellow position.

Important Considerations

Candidates seeking permanent government employment, those without the specified M.E./M.Tech./M.Sc. qualifications, or individuals who are not prepared for a temporary, project-based research role (up to 3 years) should not apply. This position is not for applicants looking for administrative or non-research-oriented roles.

Career Impact

SVNIT Surat is a well-regarded National Institute of Technology, offering a solid platform for research experience within a central government institution. The position provides exposure to a SERB-funded project focusing on critical environmental research. It serves as an excellent stepping stone for an academic or research career, particularly for those intending to pursue a Ph.D. The role is temporary, project-specific, and not a permanent government service position.
