Sending your application to the Research and Consultancy Cell, with a copy by email to the project's PI
There is no online portal for this post. The completed application, on the prescribed format, along with copies of supporting documents, must be sent to the Research and Consultancy Cell, Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology Allahabad, Prayagraj-211004, in an envelope superscripted "Application for the post of Project Associate-I (on contract) in the Research Project 'Prediction of Projectile Trajectory and Velocity in 2D through Machine Learning and Computer Vision'." A soft copy of the same application must also go by email to Dr. Anubhav Rawat, Assistant Professor, Department of Applied Mechanics and Principal Investigator, at anubhav-r@mnnit.ac.in.
Why holding the qualification does not guarantee an MNNIT Allahabad interview call
The notice is explicit that merely possessing the prescribed qualification does not ensure a candidate will be called for interview: shortlisting is done on the basis of merit and the project's need. Shortlisted candidates will be informed of the interview date by email, which is why the notice asks applicants to provide a valid email ID. At the interview, they must bring an updated CV along with original and attested photocopies of mark sheets and certificates, and anyone already employed must bring a No Objection Certificate from their current employer.
