IIT Guwahati R&D Recruitment 2026: Project Listings on iitg.ac.in

Short answer: The employer is the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati, Research & Development Section. Its official R&D Recruitment Portal at iitg.ac.in lists project-wise recruitments. The evidence reviewed for this page does not confirm a single "Research Associate" vacancy at IIT Guwahati, so this page does not claim one. Check each project's advertisement and its "View Openings" list for the exact post names.

What the IIT Guwahati portal shows

The portal page describes itself as the official recruitment and project staffing portal of the R&D Section. It lists open projects with an application deadline, an interview date, an advertisement PDF, project details and a link to available positions. The portal shows 89 results over 9 pages, but only the first page of 10 projects was available for this review. Other projects may exist on later pages.

The post names, number of vacancies, qualifications, experience, pay and fees sit in the project advertisements and the "View Openings" pages. Those were not part of the evidence, so they are not stated here.

Is a Research Associate post confirmed?

No. The portal text shows project titles only. The "Available Positions" column links to "View Openings" but does not reveal the posts. A separate third-party page in the evidence mentions a Research Associate vacancy, but it belongs to IISER Tirupati, a different institute, and has no connection to IIT Guwahati. Do not mix the two.

If you want a Research Associate role at IIT Guwahati, open the "View Openings" page for each project below and look for that post name.

How to apply

1. Open the official portal: IIT Guwahati R&D Recruitment Portal.
2. Find the project that matches your field and check its deadline.
3. Open "View Ad" to read the official advertisement PDF, and "View Openings" to see the posts.
4. Use the portal's Login / Sign Up options. The page offers these, but the evidence does not describe the step-by-step application form, so follow the instructions in the advertisement.

For portal access or technical problems, the portal lists the contact rnd_recruitment@iitg.ac.in, with office hours of Monday to Friday, 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM IST (closed on Institute holidays and weekends).

Eligibility, fees and vacancies

These details are not available in the supplied evidence. That includes qualifications, age limits, experience, salary, application fee, category-wise vacancies and selection method. They differ by project and are given in each advertisement PDF. Read the official ad for your project before applying.

Is this a permanent job or an apprenticeship?

The portal presents these as project-based recruitments handled by the R&D Section. It does not describe them as apprenticeships. It does not state the contract length or terms, so do not assume a regular permanent post. Check the tenure and terms in the advertisement.

Other IIT Guwahati notices seen on a third-party site

A third-party listing page also pointed to IIT Guwahati notices for Project Engineer (last date shown as 13-10-2026) and Post-Doctoral Fellow (last date shown as 05-10-2026). These are secondary mentions and were not checked against the official portal for this page.

FAQ

Which employer is recruiting?

IIT Guwahati, through its Research & Development Section recruitment portal.

Is there a Research Associate vacancy?

It is not confirmed here. The portal listing seen does not show the post names, so open each project's "View Openings" page.

Is there a single last date?

No. Each project has its own deadline, ranging from 28 September to 13 October 2026 among the ten projects listed on page one.

Does the notice state a nationwide opportunity or a job location?

The evidence does not say where the project posts will be based, so no location is assumed.
