Project Associate & Technical Assistant

This role is ideal for candidates holding Master's or Bachelor's degrees in Planning, or those with an HSC qualification and proficiency in MS-Office, who are seeking temporary project-based work. Individuals looking to gain valuable experience in regional planning projects with a government client (DTCP, Government of Tamil Nadu) within an academic setting (Anna University) will find this opportunity suitable. Prior experience, though desirable, is not mandatory for all posts, making it accessible for fresh graduates with relevant qualifications.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment or high-level salaries should not apply, as these positions are temporary (1-year duration) and project-specific. Those who do not meet the essential educational qualifications in Planning or HSC with MS-Office skills will not be considered. Individuals not based in or willing to relocate to Chennai, Tamil Nadu, should also reconsider.

Anna University is a highly respected state university, and working on a project for a government body like the Directorate of Town and Country Planning offers significant professional exposure and experience in urban and regional planning. While the roles themselves are contractual and temporary, they provide a valuable stepping stone and enhance a candidate's portfolio, especially for those interested in public sector planning projects. However, direct long-term career progression within the university is not implied by these temporary positions.
