The Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology (SCTIMST), Trivandrum — an Institution of National Importance under the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India — has invited applications for one post of Project Assistant (Scientific) at its Biomedical Technology Wing, Poojappura, Thiruvananthapuram. The post is reserved for SC candidates; if no eligible SC candidate is available, UR candidates will be considered. Selection is through a walk-in interview on 20 November 2026.

This is a different post from the SCTIMST Project Associate I already live on this site (Advt P&A.II/52/PA.II/P.8279/BMT-SCTIMST/2026, walk-in 19 November 2026, Rs. 31,000/25,000 plus 20% HRA). Different advertisement number, different post, different pay and different walk-in date — do not confuse the two.
