• Faculty coordination: Act as a bridge between faculty members, students, and the Academic Office for smooth course delivery.
• Research support: Help with case writing, research work, curriculum development, tutorials, seminars, workshops, and academic events when needed.

Contract Terms

The appointment is for a fixed term of up to two years on a consolidated monthly stipend. The contract may be extended based on performance and institute needs, but your total engagement with IIM Nagpur will not exceed four years. The official page also states that no accommodation will be provided by the Institute.
