This role is ideal for fresh M.Tech/B.Tech graduates (or those with relevant experience) in Mechanical, Materials Science, or related engineering disciplines, possessing a valid GATE/CSIR-UGC NET qualification. Candidates passionate about research in advanced materials like MXene and CFRP laminates, with an interest in temporary, project-based work, will find this opportunity suitable. The position offers hands-on experience in cutting-edge research under a prestigious institute.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply as this is a temporary, project-specific position with a fixed duration of three years. Those without the specified engineering degrees or a valid national-level examination qualification (GATE/CSIR-UGC NET) are not eligible. Candidates over 28 years of age (without applicable relaxations) will also find this role unsuitable.

Working as a Project Associate-I at NIT Silchar, an Institute of National Importance, offers significant academic and research prestige. The project, sponsored by SERB-DST (Govt. of India), provides exposure to advanced research in material science, enhancing one's professional profile. While temporary, such roles are excellent stepping stones for further research, higher studies (Ph.D.), or specialized industry positions, offering valuable experience and networking opportunities within a reputable academic environment.
