National Institute of Technology Silchar Project Associate-I Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated engineering graduates (B.E./B.Tech) and postgraduates (M.E./M.Tech) with a strong academic record (First Class throughout). Candidates with a background or keen interest in Design, Manufacturing, Production, Tribology, Material Science, and especially those with hands-on experience in simulation, development, and testing of composite materials, will be highly suitable. GATE qualified candidates will receive preference. The position is well-suited for individuals seeking temporary, project-based research experience within a prestigious national institute.

Individuals lacking a B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech degree in an engineering or technology specialization should not apply. Those primarily seeking permanent government employment might find the temporary, project-specific nature of this role unsuitable. Candidates exceeding the age of 35 years (as of 06-02-2026) without eligibility for government-mandated age relaxations will also not be considered.

Working as a Project Associate-I at the National Institute of Technology Silchar (an Institute of National Importance) on a DRDO-sponsored project offers significant prestige and a valuable platform for research and development. While the position is temporary (3 years), it provides excellent exposure to advanced engineering fields and collaboration with leading researchers, enhancing long-term career prospects in academia or research and development sectors, particularly within defence-related industries.
