Project Associate I & Project Associate II

This role is ideal for engineering graduates (B.E/B.Tech) in CSE, IT, ECE, or EEE, especially those with M.E/M.Tech, holding a minimum 60% or 6.5 CGPA. Candidates aspiring for a PhD/M.S. program and interested in cutting-edge research in autonomous drones and deep learning models will find this an excellent opportunity. Project Associate-II specifically targets candidates with at least two years of relevant experience.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or roles with a long-term fixed tenure should not apply, as this is a temporary project-based position for 6 months (extendable based on fund availability). Those without the specified engineering degrees or the minimum CGPA will not be considered. The low number of vacancies (2 posts) means competition will be high, and the consolidated salary may not appeal to all.

Working as a Project Associate at a National Institute of Technology (NIT) like Tiruchirappalli offers significant academic prestige and exposure to high-level research projects. This position provides a strong foundation for a research career, particularly for those considering pursuing higher studies (PhD/M.S.) at NIT. While the role itself is temporary, the experience gained can be invaluable for future academic or industry positions in AI/ML and drone technology.
