Candidates who do not meet the essential educational qualifications (B.Tech/M.Tech in specified fields with minimum marks/CGPA and GATE qualification) are not suitable for this position. Individuals seeking a permanent employment should note this is a contractual role, initially for 3 months, extendable up to 2 years.
