University of Kalyani Research Assistant Walk-in Interview 2026 - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for individuals holding an M.A. in History with at least 55% marks and who have qualified a national or state-level eligibility test like NET/SET. It suits those seeking short-term (6 months) research experience within an ICHR-funded project focusing on 'Matuaism, Identity Formation and Political Entanglements in Bengal Delta' and looking to contribute to academic research under the supervision of Prof. Anil Kumar Sarkar.

Candidates seeking permanent employment or a long-term career path at the University should not apply, as this is a purely temporary, project-based fellowship. Those without an M.A. in History, lacking the minimum 55% marks, or who have not qualified NET/SET will not be eligible. The consolidated fellowship allowance of Rs. 17,600/- may not appeal to those seeking a higher remuneration.

The University of Kalyani is a reputable state university in West Bengal. This position, funded by the Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR), offers a valuable opportunity to gain experience in a nationally recognized research project. While it's a temporary role without long-term institutional commitment, it provides significant academic exposure and strengthens a candidate's research profile for future academic pursuits.
