Important Notes / Tips
Even though the posts are titled “Project Research Scientist”, these are contractual / project-based posts, not regular permanent faculty positions.
Ensure your experience is clearly documented and relevant to the discipline you apply for.
Because the interview is online and date is fixed, ensure your internet & system setup (camera/mic) are ready ahead of time.
Since last date is soon, submit well ahead to avoid delays.
Carefully read the official notification PDF (check IIT Guwahati’s website) for discipline-wise eligibility, document list, and selection criteria.
Verify whether any age limit or category-wise reservation applies (often project posts follow institute norms). The brief listing didn’t specify age limits prominently in the summary.
Because the pay difference between Scientist IV and VI is substantial, pick the post aligned with your experience — the Scientist VI posts will likely demand more experience/responsibility
