Project Intern
Research internship at IIIT Guwahati
IIIT Guwahati has one full-time Project Intern opening in its Computer Science and Engineering department under a Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology-funded project. The project is “Edge Service Caching Security: Tools for ML-Driven Vulnerability Analysis and Mitigation.” Advertisement IIITG/R&D118/CSE/P/RS/2/04 is dated 30 October 2026. Applications close on 15 November 2026.
Who can apply?
Undergraduate and postgraduate students in Computer Science and Engineering or allied disciplines are invited to apply. The notice expects coding proficiency and a good understanding of Data Structures and Algorithms. It does not state a minimum percentage, a particular graduating batch or a numerical work-experience requirement. A GATE qualification is not stated as mandatory: the application form asks whether the candidate holds it and requires proof if the answer is yes.
Project focus and preparing your application
The advertised research area combines edge-service caching, security and machine-learning-driven vulnerability analysis and mitigation. The notice does not prescribe a detailed daily task list or a particular programming language, so applicants should not assume one. As preparation, it would be useful to explain relevant coding, algorithms, systems, security or ML work and your own contribution. These are suggestions for presenting evidence of fit, not additional institute eligibility conditions.
Fellowship and duration
The fellowship is ₹15,000 per month. The notice states that the funding is from MeitY until 15 September 2027. It describes a ten-month internship, tentatively November 2026 to September 2027. Keep the stated funding endpoint in mind rather than assuming payment through the end of September or a guaranteed extension. No separate incentive component is listed.
On-campus participation and accommodation
On-campus participation is preferred. The institute says a remote internship may be considered only in exceptional circumstances, so this should not be treated as a guaranteed work-from-home opportunity. Hostel accommodation is not available for this internship. The selected intern must arrange accommodation at their own cost; the notice mentions nearby options. The institute is at Bongora, Guwahati, Assam.
Application method and documents
Use the exact Google Form linked by IIIT Guwahati. It was live when opened in Chrome on 3 November 2026 and requires Google sign-in for its file-upload workflow. It asks for contact details, academic history, current semester where a course is ongoing, experience or other relevant information, a resume and merged applicable certificates. If you declare a GATE qualification, attach the relevant certificate. Fill only accurate information and follow the form’s file-type and size requirements.
Selection, certificate and contact
The notice gives 20 November 2026 as the online selection date. It does not publish a detailed scoring scheme or guarantee selection to every eligible applicant. A certificate will be issued on successful completion. Questions about the project may be directed to the named faculty member, Dr Radhika Sukapuram, at radhika@iiitg.ac.in. Check the current official listing for changes before applying.
