Service Conditions and Caveats

• Initial tenure: The appointment starts with a six-month term. An extension depends entirely on satisfactory performance and cannot run beyond the project end date.
• Nature of engagement: The notice describes the post as purely temporary. Your appointment is tied to this research project, so the extension condition matters when you consider the offer.
• PhD opportunity: The selected fellow may register for a regular PhD at VNIT Nagpur. You must separately meet the institute’s PhD admission requirements; selection for the fellowship does not remove that condition.
• Travel: VNIT will not pay travel or daily allowance for attending the interview. Plan your visit to Nagpur with this condition in mind.
• Final authority: The Director of VNIT Nagpur has the final decision on matters relating to this recruitment.
