Project

The post is in the Department of Mining Engineering (Dept./Centre: Electrical Engineering) on the CMPDI-sponsored project "An AI Enabled Platform for Diagnosis Prognosis and Health Management of Mining Electrical Systems: A Case Study on the Drag Line" (Project Code R/AEH), under Prof. Aurobinda Routray. The sponsoring agency is Central Mine Planning and Design Institute Limited (CMPDI), a Coal India subsidiary. The tenure is 12 months or the termination of the project, whichever is earlier.

Pay

Consolidated compensation up to Rs. 25,000 per month, depending on qualification and experience.

Who can apply

Fee
