NIT Trichy Project Associate-II Recruitment 2026 – 1 Post (CSE)

Yes, NIT Trichy Project Associate-II Recruitment 2026 is out. The National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, has released a notification for 1 contractual Project Associate-II post in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, open to candidates with a B.E./B.Tech in CSE/IT/ECE/EEE or equivalent, preferably with an M.E./M.Tech and 2 years of experience. The notification PDF filename ("CSE_PA") confirms this post sits within NIT Trichy's Computer Science and Engineering department, distinct from the institute's other recent postings such as Apprentice Trainee (24 posts, Advt NITT/R/RC/Apprentice/2026/1). The dual eligibility structure — a straight B.Tech route or a preferred M.Tech-plus-experience route — is typical for project-associate posts funded under sponsored research or development projects at NITs, and gives the hiring department flexibility to select either a fresh graduate or a more experienced postgraduate depending on the applicant pool. Eligible candidates can apply online through the linked Google Form on or before 29 August 2026, with the tentative interview date set for 31 August 2026 — a short gap, so candidates should prepare in advance. Selection involves a Written Test (if required) followed by an Interview.
