Candidates must have a master's degree in management, law, economics, finance, commerce, public policy or a related discipline, along with at least eight years of experience at a think tank, chamber of commerce, academic institution, consultancy or advisory body. A proven record of research or publications in reputed journals is required. Experience with a Big4 firm, a PhD, or a fellowship from IIT, IIM or a reputed B-school is desirable. Applications must be sent via email to office_es@iitk.ac.in by 5:00 PM on 8 October 2026, with the subject line 'Application for the post of Project Assistant'. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The eligibility criteria favour candidates with both academic research and industry experience, especially from Big4 firms. The contractual nature of the post means the appointment will be for a fixed term, though the notification does not specify its duration. With an 8 October deadline, interested applicants have less than a week to prepare and submit their materials, making the turnaround tight for those who must gather recommendation letters or publications. ## Coverage - livelaw.in Straight reproduction of official notification with no editorial framing This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
