The National Institute of Technology Tiruchirappalli has invited online applications for two project positions in its Civil Engineering department, giving diploma holders and engineering graduates a route into a funded research project at one of India’s top NITs. The roles are relatively modest in number but offer a genuine stepping stone for candidates looking to gain project experience before moving on to higher studies or a permanent technical career.
Because applications for this drive are collected through a simple Google Form rather than a full-fledged recruitment portal, the process is quick to complete, but that also means candidates should double-check every entry before submission since there is no multi-stage correction window like larger central recruitments typically offer. Read on for the exact eligibility, pay, and selection details before the 21 September 2026 deadline.
