NIT Agartala Research Assistant & Technical Assistant cum Field Coordinator Recruitment 2026 – 2 Posts

Yes, NIT Agartala Research Assistant & Technical Assistant cum Field Coordinator Recruitment 2026 is out. National Institute of Technology Agartala has released Advertisement No. F.NITA.67(MHSS)-139/EAP/2026-27 for 2 contractual posts — 1 Research Assistant and 1 Technical Assistant cum Field Coordinator — under a project abbreviated EAP/MHSS in the notification. The Technical Assistant cum Field Coordinator post's requirement of knowledge of Meetei Mayek script, the traditional script used for the Meitei language of Manipur, points to this being a field-based linguistic, cultural or documentation research project, likely involving fieldwork in Northeast India communities using Meetei Mayek. The Research Assistant role, by contrast, draws from a humanities and social sciences background — English, History, Sociology, Anthropology or Library & Information Science — suggesting the project combines archival/documentation work with field-based data collection. Both posts pay a modest but standard research-assistant-tier consolidated salary plus 10% HRA. Eligible candidates can apply by email on or before 22 August 2026. Note that despite some secondary listings describing this as an "apply online" recruitment, the actual application process is via email submission of a complete application, not an online portal — candidates should follow the email-based process detailed in the official notification PDF.

• Research Assistant: MA in English, History, Sociology, Anthropology or Library & Information Science
• Technical Assistant cum Field Coordinator: Graduate with knowledge of Meetei Mayek script and computer skills

• Not specified in the notification
• Candidates should confirm directly with NIT Agartala if unsure of an implicit ceiling for these contractual project posts

• Open to candidates holding an MA in English, History, Sociology, Anthropology or Library & Information Science for the Research Assistant post
• Open to any graduate with demonstrated knowledge of the Meetei Mayek script and computer skills for the Technical Assistant cum Field Coordinator post
• Both posts are contractual, tied to a specific sponsored project, not permanent NIT Agartala appointments
• The Technical Assistant cum Field Coordinator role likely involves field-based work given the "Field Coordinator" designation and the Meetei Mayek script requirement

No application fee mentioned in the official notification

• Research Assistant: Rs. 32,000 per month plus 10% HRA
• Technical Assistant cum Field Coordinator: Rs. 25,000 per month plus 10% HRA
