National Institute of Technology Calicut Research Assistant Recruitment 2026: 2 Project Vacancies

This role is ideal for highly qualified candidates holding a B. Arch/B. Tech (Civil) and a Master's (M.Plan/M.Arch) with a First Class degree, eager to contribute to a specialized urban planning and design research project. Candidates with desirable skills in GIS, Remote Sensing, statistical analysis, and scientific writing will find this role particularly suitable. It offers an opportunity to work on heritage conservation projects within an academic research environment.

Candidates without the specified essential bachelor's and master's degrees (B. Arch/B. Tech (Civil) + M.Plan/M.Arch) with a First Class standing should not apply. Those seeking a permanent government position or higher compensation than the consolidated monthly pay of Rs. 37,000 may find this contractual, project-based role unsuitable. Individuals requiring TA/DA for the interview should note it will not be provided.

Working as a Research Assistant at a National Institute of Technology (NIT) like Calicut offers significant academic prestige and valuable experience, particularly in the domain of urban planning and heritage conservation. While the position is contractual for 9 months, it provides an excellent foundation for future research roles, higher studies, or specialized positions in urban development and conservation sectors. The exposure to a project titled 'Documentation to Restoration: Heritage Ponds in Kozhikode District' indicates a direct contribution to local heritage, which can be a strong career differentiator.
