TTDF 6G Research Internship for PhD Candidates

TTDF 6G Research Internship for PhD Candidates

National Institute of Technology Meghalaya has advertised one paid research internship under a TTDF-sponsored 6G project. The official notice, dated 7 October 2026, specifies a stipend of ₹25,000 per month and an offline walk-in interview on 15 October 2026, with reporting at 3:00 p.m. This is a specialised PhD-level opportunity in electronics, physics and related areas, not a general undergraduate internship.

Because the interview is imminent, interested candidates should read the official advertisement, check their academic eligibility and contact the project team promptly about the reporting venue and application documents. The institute requires a completed application and supporting certificates in one merged PDF by email, alongside the walk-in interview process. An email alone should not be treated as a substitute for attending the offline selection.

Opportunity at a glance

What the research project covers

The sponsored project concerns 6G standardisation and the transmission of critical data from remote locations during natural calamities in north-eastern India. The advertisement connects the internship with antenna-related aptitude, microwave technology and sensor-based monitoring. Applicants should assess whether their research interests and practical skills match these areas rather than relying on the broad appeal of a 6G project title.

The phrase “remote location data” describes the project’s subject matter. It does not mean that this is a work-from-home internship. The notice explicitly makes selection offline and does not advertise remote working arrangements. It also does not provide a detailed daily task list, weekly hours or a work-from-home policy, so these should be clarified directly with the principal investigator rather than assumed.

Academic eligibility and relevant skills

The official eligibility specifies a PhD in ECE, Physics or allied departments, including the areas described in the notice as EIE of EE, Microwave Engineering, Communication, Instrumentation and Embedded System. It also asks for a strong interest or skills in Microwave Technology and Sensor Based Monitoring. Candidates should use the exact wording in the advertisement to judge the relevance of their discipline.

The notice is headed as an internship for a PhD candidate while the eligibility line says “PhD in” the listed fields. Anyone uncertain whether their current doctoral status satisfies this wording should obtain confirmation from the project team before travelling. This listing does not expand eligibility to all engineering students, all graduates or every science discipline. No minimum marks or separate age ceiling is stated in the notice text; applicants should not infer that other documentation requirements have been waived.

Stipend, tenure and appointment details

The advertised remuneration is ₹25,000 per month. The notice gives this figure as the amount under the project guidelines; it does not list a separate incentive component, additional HRA or a guaranteed accommodation benefit. The internship is advertised until June 2027, with a possible extension based on project requirements. An extension is therefore conditional, not an assured additional term.

This is a position connected to a sponsored research project, not an advertisement for a permanent faculty appointment or an automatic government job. The joining-date sentence in the notice should be checked with the project team when discussing availability. Candidates should confirm the actual joining instructions, reporting arrangements and any terms that are not set out in the short advertisement.

How to apply and prepare the documents

1. Open the official NIT Meghalaya advertisement using the link below and download the application form linked there.
2. Complete the prescribed form carefully and prepare the age-proof certificate, Class 10 and Class 12 certificates, and qualification-degree certificates and marksheets up to the highest qualification.
3. Merge the completed form and required supporting documents into a single PDF, as instructed in the notice.
4. Email that PDF to Dr. Prabir Kumar Saha at prabir.saha@nitm.ac.in, with a copy to Dr. Shubhankar Majumdar at shub@nitm.ac.in.
5. Follow the notice’s subject wording identifying the internship and the project on critical data transmission during natural calamities in north-eastern India.
6. Attend the offline walk-in interview on 15 October 2026, reporting at 3:00 p.m., after confirming the precise venue with the project team.

The institute’s published contact address is Saitsohpen, Sohra, East Khasi Hills District, Meghalaya, India, 793108. The internship notice does not identify a room or building for the interview. Confirming that location before travel is particularly important for candidates arriving from outside Meghalaya. Do not assume that an online interview option is available.

Official notice and final checks

NIT Meghalaya describes itself as an Institute of National Importance established under the NIT Act, with full funding support from the Ministry of Education, Government of India. This opportunity is therefore presented as a government-institution research internship while retaining its relevant research and education category.

Before applying, recheck the current notice for any update, confirm the PhD-related eligibility, prepare the merged PDF and verify the interview venue. Selection, joining and any extension remain subject to the institute’s project requirements. The official advertisement and the project team’s instructions take precedence over this summary.
