Assistant Professor (Level 12) — Electrical Engineering

About this recruitment

Department notice areas include control systems, instrumentation, digital and control systems, electrical machines and drives, power systems, power electronics and electric vehicles, and renewable energy. The official table names the rank but does not state a vacancy count or category split. The advertisement and active rolling-application page identify this department/rank for the final cohort. The notice allows posting or transfer to another section, department or place in the Institute during service. No vacancy count or category split is stated for this row; none is inferred.

Eligibility and requirements

Education / qualification

Ph.D. in the relevant or equivalent discipline and first class in all preceding degrees. If “first class” is not stated on a preceding-degree certificate, the notice accepts at least 6.5 CGPA on a 10-point scale or 60% aggregate. A CGPA on another point scale may be equivalently converted to a 10-point scale; conversion between CGPA and percentage is not permitted.

Eligibility

Applicants must be Indian Nationals or Overseas Citizens of India (OCI). The 2025 notice refers faculty qualification, experience and credit-point requirements to the Government of India NIT faculty recruitment rules as amended, not UGC faculty rules. It says fresh appointments beyond age 60 are discouraged except for candidates with exceptional research and ongoing or approved externally funded projects; this is not stated as a general age cap. Appointments are on probation for one year wherever applicable. For Assistant Professor Level 12: the NIT Schedule E rule specifies three years after Ph.D. or six years total teaching/research experience in an institution of repute, R&D laboratory or relevant industry; the original schedule specifies 20 cumulative essential credit points. The 2023 NIT Statutes amendment identifies this as Assistant Professor Grade I, Level 12.
