NITC Project Associate ECE Recruitment 2026

NITC Project Associate Recruitment 2026: Overview

National Institute of Technology Calicut (NIT Calicut) is engaging Project Associate-I staff for a research assignment in its Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering. The work belongs to the DST-INSPIRE-backed project Advancing Molecular Communication through Innovative Relay Systems, which sits at the meeting point of communication theory, mathematical modelling and relay-system design. This is a research-project contract rather than a regular institute appointment, making it most suitable if you want hands-on academic research experience in advanced communication systems.

The project team will work with Dr Nithin V Sabu and the Electronics and Communication Engineering department. Your application should show how your engineering background connects with communication-system analysis; experience in mathematical modelling is especially useful because it directly supports the project's technical theme. A clear, research-focused CV will help the shortlisting team see that fit quickly.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Contract period: the engagement runs only up to 31 March 2027 and does not create a claim to a permanent NIT Calicut post.
• Project funding: the position is tied to a DST-INSPIRE-sponsored research project, so the assignment follows the needs and duration of that project.
• Shortlisting: only applicants selected after the initial review will receive the online interview details by email.
• Credential check: you are responsible for the correctness of every qualification, experience record and photograph sent with the application.
• Exceptional profile: NIT Calicut may relax the stated qualification or experience standard for a candidate with unusually strong credentials.
• Current employees: if you already work for a government body or another organisation, keep your employer's No Objection Certificate ready for the interview.
• Interview cost: the institute will not pay TA or DA for taking part in the selection process.
• Communication: watch the email address used in your application because shortlisting and interview instructions will be sent there.

Application Submission Notes

Combine the completed registration form, your latest CV and supporting certificates into one PDF file. Email it to hodeced@nitc.ac.in, with a copy to nithinvs@nitc.ac.in. Use the subject line "Application for Position/Project File no" so the department can identify the submission correctly.

Before sending, check that the form and CV use the same name, contact details and academic record. Your single PDF should open clearly on a normal computer, and every attached certificate should be readable without rotating or enlarging the page excessively. Since the process moves from email shortlisting to an online interaction, keep the original records available for any follow-up check requested by the institute.
