RGIPT JRA Biochar Recruitment 2026: Overview
Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology (RGIPT) is recruiting a Junior Research Assistant (JRA) for a CST-UP-sponsored project in its Department of Energy & Human Sciences at Jais, Amethi. The research concerns biochar-enriched vermicompost made from nitrogen- and calcium-rich organic waste. It focuses on adjusting the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio for nutrient recovery and soil reclamation, with the project sanctioned for two years.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Project context: This appointment belongs to the sponsored research project at RGIPT. The project title identifies both waste-derived vermicompost and soil reclamation as its focus.
- Residence restriction: You must be an Indian citizen and a resident of Uttar Pradesh. This is an explicit condition of this recruitment, rather than a preference based on where you studied.
- Application completeness: The institute may decline incomplete applications, late applications or applications missing supporting records. Your application must meet the notice's submission requirements.
- Accuracy of information: The application declaration states that incorrect information or ineligibility discovered at any stage can lead to cancellation of your candidature or appointment.
- Interview travel: You will not receive travel or daily allowance if called for the interview.
