NIFT Kangra Assistant Professor Recruitment 2026: 4 Vacancies on Short Term Contract Basis

This role is ideal for experienced Postgraduates or PhD holders in fashion, design, textiles, management, or related fields (as per Annexure-A competencies) who are seeking a short-term academic engagement. Candidates with a strong background in teaching, research, or relevant industry experience and who are looking for an opportunity to contribute to a premier national institute on a contractual basis would find this position highly suitable.

Individuals seeking permanent employment, long-term tenure, or a stable career path should not apply, as this is a six-month short-term contract. Those without the specified Master's degree or PhD and relevant experience (minimum 1-3 years depending on qualification) will not meet the eligibility criteria. The consolidated monthly salary may not align with expectations for those seeking higher pay packages.

NIFT, a statutory body under the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India, is recognized as a premier institute for fashion business education with a pan-India presence. A short-term contract with NIFT Kangra provides valuable experience within a highly reputable national educational institution. While limited in duration, such an engagement enhances a professional's resume, offers networking opportunities, and can serve as a stepping stone for future academic or industry roles within the design and fashion sector.
