National Institute of Technology Silchar Recruitment 2026: 3 Vacancies for Research Assistant & Field Investigator

This role is ideal for postgraduate candidates in Social Sciences or Humanities, particularly those with a strong academic record (minimum 55% marks). Candidates for the Research Assistant position should possess NET/M.Phil./Ph.D. qualification. Desirable skills include familiarity with archival data collection, textual analysis, proficiency in Kannada and English, and competence in digital humanities tools and statistical software. These positions are well-suited for individuals seeking short-term research experience within a central government academic institution.

Candidates aspiring for permanent government employment or long-term career stability should not apply, as these are temporary project-based roles with durations of 4 to 6 months. Individuals without a postgraduate degree in the specified disciplines or lacking the desirable proficiencies, especially in Kannada for Field Investigator roles, may find themselves at a disadvantage.

National Institute of Technology Silchar is an Institute of National Importance, providing a reputable platform for academic and research pursuits. While the positions are temporary, they offer valuable experience working on an ICSSR-funded Major Research Project, which can significantly enhance a candidate's research profile and future academic or research career prospects.
