Individuals who do not possess a First Class Master's degree (M.E./M.Tech/M.Sc) in the specified fields and have not qualified GATE/NET are ineligible. This is a temporary, contract-based position with no guarantee of permanent employment or extension beyond the project duration, making it unsuitable for those seeking long-term stability or a permanent government role immediately.
