VNIT Nagpur SPECTRA Multi Post Recruitment 2026: Overview
Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, Nagpur (VNIT Nagpur) is recruiting project staff for its Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering. The SPECTRA project studies stealth and programmable electromagnetic communications through tunable reflecting arrays, with funding from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY). These are contractual research engagements linked to the project.
Posts and Disciplines
- Project Associate I: A project position in the ECE department for SPECTRA. The notice identifies this role separately from Project Assistant, but does not give a separate list of daily tasks.
- Project Assistant: A second staff role within the same research project and department. The notice does not describe a different work location or assign a distinct technical work package to this role.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Initial tenure: Your appointment starts with a one-year term. An extension of up to one further year depends on satisfactory performance and cannot go beyond the project’s end.
- Project-linked engagement: The appointment ends with the project. It does not give you a right to regularization or absorption into VNIT Nagpur.
- PhD opportunity: Selected staff may register for a regular PhD programme if they meet VNIT’s separate admission requirements. Taking up the project role does not automatically secure PhD admission.
- Travel costs: VNIT will not pay travel or daily allowances for attending the interview, so you will need to meet those costs yourself.
- Institute rules: Selected staff must follow the institute’s rules. The Director’s decision is final on matters relating to this recruitment.
