IITM Project Associate Electrical Recruitment 2026

IITM Project Associate Electrical Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM) is hiring a Project Associate team for its Department of Electrical Engineering in Chennai. Professor Rahul Meshram coordinates this contract engagement through the Office of Industrial Consultancy and Sponsored Research. The project connects Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) communication research with software and hardware work involving the industrial partner, BEL.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Project tenure: The initial contract runs for six months. The notice allows an extension up to fifteen months based on performance, so you should treat any continuation as conditional rather than automatic.
• No permanent appointment claim: Completing the contract does not give you a right to regular employment at IITM. It also does not guarantee that your contract will be extended.
• Industrial collaboration: The assignment includes travel to the industrial partner's site. Your work setting therefore includes coordination outside the IITM campus as well as work with the institute's project team.
• Application finality: You cannot edit or take back the application once you submit it. The system accepts a single application under a registered email address for an advertisement, and duplicate applications for the same post can lead to rejection.
• Communication: IITM uses the active email address you enter in the form for recruitment correspondence. Only shortlisted applicants will be contacted, so keep access to that address throughout the process.
• Provisional consideration: A registration confirmation or call letter does not confirm that IITM has accepted all your claims. The institute can check the information you provide at appointment or during service.
• Truthful information: False statements or fake supporting records can lead to rejection or termination. An appointment communication may also be changed or withdrawn if the institute discovers a mistake in the recruitment process.
• Institute discretion: IITM may limit the number of applicants considered, reject applications, or leave the advertised positions unfilled. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee a call.
• Conduct: Canvassing can disqualify you. The institute will not discuss individual reasons for not calling an applicant or enter into correspondence about recruitment results.
• Current IITM project staff: If you already work on an IITM project, apply through the proper channel. The notice provides a no-objection route where that has not been done.

Application Submission Notes

No hard copy needs to be posted to IITM. Use the careers route named in the notice and identify this opening by its advertisement reference, rather than choosing another Project Associate announcement.
