IIT Gandhinagar Project Associate-II Recruitment 2026 — 1 Post, Apply by 11 Sep

Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IIT Gandhinagar) has released its Project Associate-II Recruitment 2026 notification under Advertisement No. SPON/10455/Adv/0298 dated 17 August 2026, inviting applications for 1 post on a contractual basis. Eligible candidates can apply online until 11 September 2026. Applicants need an M.Tech./M.S. or equivalent qualification in an appropriate discipline, or a B.Tech./B.E./M.Sc./M.C.A. or equivalent with a minimum of 2 years of post-qualification experience. The Project Associate-II role at IIT Gandhinagar requires a minimum of 60% or equivalent grade from graduation onward, and a minimum of 55% or equivalent grade in class 10th and 12th. Selection for this IIT Gandhinagar post is based on a Selection Test. Selected candidates will receive a consolidated monthly pay ranging from Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 90,000, on a contractual basis. Interested candidates should apply online through the IIT Gandhinagar project staff recruitment portal well before the 11 September 2026 deadline, since there is no application fee for any category. This IIT Gandhinagar Project Associate-II post offers two distinct eligibility routes — a Master's degree holder without additional experience, or a Bachelor's/M.Sc./M.C.A. graduate with at least 2 years of post-qualification experience — giving both fresh postgraduates and experienced technical professionals a realistic path to apply for this role. Since the notification does not specify a particular research area or department, candidates should refer to the full notification PDF for details on the sponsoring project and faculty supervisor before applying, as this context helps tailor the application to the specific technical requirements of the role. The salary range of Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 90,000 per month is notably wide, suggesting IIT Gandhinagar will place the selected candidate within this band based on their qualification level, years of experience, and performance in the Selection Test — candidates with an M.Tech./M.S. and additional relevant experience may be placed toward the higher end of this range. Applicants should upload their academic transcripts and experience proof carefully during the online application process.
