Senior Research Associate & Junior Project Fellow

This role is most suitable for postgraduate candidates in Education, Mathematics, Science, Social Science, or Language, especially those with a B.Ed./M.Ed. background, who are keen on educational research. Senior Research Associate (SRA) candidates require two years of relevant experience, while Junior Project Fellow (JPF) roles are also suitable for freshers or those with basic computer and data skills. Candidates looking for short-term contractual roles within a prestigious educational research institution will find this opportunity valuable.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these are purely temporary and contractual positions. Candidates unable to attend the walk-in interview in New Delhi on July 15, 2026, or who miss the registration window (9:30 AM to 12:30 PM) will not be entertained. Those who do not meet the minimum educational qualifications or, for SRA, the mandatory experience requirements, should also refrain from applying.

NCERT is a highly reputed national body in educational research and curriculum development. These positions, though contractual, offer valuable experience and exposure to significant projects within a premier institution, significantly enhancing one's academic and research profile. While direct long-term government service is not guaranteed, the experience gained can serve as a strong stepping stone for future academic, research, or policy-related roles in India's education sector.
