IITGN Project Associate II Mathematics Recruitment 2026

IITGN Project Associate II Mathematics Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) is hiring a Project Associate II (Mathematics) for its Center for Creative Learning (CCL), the institute's team that builds hands-on maths and science material for schools. The post is run through the institute's Research and Development Office, with Prof. Manish Jain as the principal investigator. It is a one-year project appointment on consolidated pay, so treat it as a contract role rather than a permanent institute job.

The CCL team wants a self-driven, creative Mathematics educator who likes teaching through activities, models and experiments instead of only the blackboard. If you have taught Mathematics to senior school classes under CBSE, ICSE, IB, IGCSE or a State board, or written textbook chapters or ed-tech learning modules, your profile matches what the notice prefers. The work moves between the studio, where you design and test activities, and real school classrooms, where you try them out with students.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Tenure: The appointment is for one year under the Center for Creative Learning project.
• Norms: The post follows IIT Gandhinagar institute norms, not the rules of an outside funding agency.
• Pay structure: Your pay is fixed inside the advertised band based on your qualification and experience; House Rent Allowance is not applicable.
• Academic record: The notice sets minimum percentages from Class 10 onwards, so check every mark sheet, not just your degree.
• Shortlisting: Meeting the minimum criteria does not guarantee a call. The institute may use a higher cut-off, may decide whom to call for a selection test, and may choose not to fill the post in this round.
• Language: Professional English and spoken Hindi are listed as desirable, since the content is tested in schools.
