NIT Silchar Project Associate-I Recruitment 2026 – 1 Post (Chemistry)

Yes, NIT Silchar Project Associate-I Recruitment 2026 is out. The National Institute of Technology Silchar has released Advertisement No. NITS/R&C/Chemistry/6/98/2026 for 1 contractual Project Associate-I post in the Department of Chemistry, open to candidates holding an MSc. in Chemistry or a BS-MS in Chemistry. NIT Silchar runs multiple parallel project-specific recruitment cycles across departments at any given time — this particular post, under the Department of Chemistry (Advt Chemistry/6/98), is separate from other recent NIT Silchar postings in Mechanical Engineering (ME/720, ME/713), Electrical Engineering (EE/701) and Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE/677). The pay band of Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 37,000 plus HRA, varying by candidate qualification and experience, is standard for NIT Silchar's Project Associate-I grade across departments. Eligible candidates can apply by email on or before 1 September 2026. Since NIT Silchar advertises several similarly titled Project Associate and JRF posts across different departments concurrently, candidates should confirm they are applying to the correct Chemistry department posting under Advertisement No. NITS/R&C/Chemistry/6/98/2026.

• MSc. in Chemistry or BS-MS in Chemistry

• Maximum 30 years
• Age relaxation as per Govt. of India Rules

• Open to candidates holding an MSc. in Chemistry or a BS-MS in Chemistry from a recognized institution
• Maximum age is 30 years, with relaxation as per Government of India rules
• This is a contractual position tied to a specific research project in the Department of Chemistry, not a permanent NIT Silchar appointment
• Candidates with a strong academic background in Chemistry, particularly relevant to the department's ongoing research areas, are best positioned for this role. The Project Associate-I designation typically indicates an entry-level research support position within NIT Silchar's project staff hierarchy, working under a Principal Investigator on a specific funded research project rather than an independent research role
