Eligibility Criteria

The qualification requirement depends on which department you’re applying for. Here’s what you need to know:

For Engineering Departments (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, ECE, IT, CSE, Metallurgical, Chemical):

• B.E. / B.Tech in the relevant engineering discipline
• M.E. / M.Tech in relevant specialisation
• Ph.D is mandatory

For Mathematics:

• Bachelors and Masters in Mathematics

• Bachelors and Masters in Management (for Management posts) or English (for English posts)

Additional Eligibility Points You Shouldn’t Miss:

• Candidates who have done a Direct Ph.D after B.Tech are also eligible — you don’t necessarily need a separate M.Tech if you went the direct doctoral route.
• First class is mandatory at both Bachelors and Masters degree level. Don’t overlook this — it’s a disqualifying condition if you don’t meet it.
• EWS vacancies may be filled by UR candidates if eligible EWS applicants aren’t available, as per the Selection Committee’s recommendations.

₹65,000/- per month (fixed)

No HRA, no grade pay confusion — it’s a flat ₹65,000 per month for as long as you’re on active duty. For a temporary position at a National Institute of Importance, that’s a reasonable package — especially for candidates who want to build their academic profile while they’re working toward permanent faculty positions elsewhere.

Nature of Engagement

A few things to keep in mind before you apply:

• This is a purely temporary engagement for 11 months only. There is no path to permanency or continuation of service built into this contract.
• This engagement does not create any right to claim continuous employment or permanent absorption in the future.
• You’ll need to join immediately upon selection. There’s no waiting period or delayed joining allowed.
• The posting is physical — you must be present at NIT Srinagar, Hazratbal. No remote or hybrid arrangement.
• No accommodation is provided by the institute. You’ll need to sort out your own stay in Srinagar.
