This role is ideal for highly motivated engineering or science graduates/postgraduates in CSE/IT or related fields with a strong academic record (minimum 65% marks or 7.0 CGPA) and a valid GATE/NET qualification. Candidates possessing hands-on experience in Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Web technologies, and Python, coupled with an interest in cutting-edge research on Responsible AI for healthcare, will find this opportunity particularly rewarding. It is also an excellent stepping stone for those considering PhD enrollment at NIT Raipur.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely temporary and contractual project-based position, initially tenable until July 2026. Candidates without a valid GATE/NET qualification or those who do not meet the minimum academic performance criteria (65% marks/7.0 CGPA) will be at a disadvantage. This role is not suitable for those looking for administrative positions or without a strong technical background in AI/ML.

The project's focus on Responsible AI for Health Care Systems is highly relevant and forward-looking, offering excellent opportunities for professional growth in a critical domain. There is also a potential pathway for selected candidates to pursue a PhD at NIT Raipur, enhancing long-term academic and research prospects.
