How to Prepare – Fluid Mechanics & Heat Transfer
Revise conservation of mass, momentum and energy. Revise internal/external flow, boundary layers and pressure drop. Study convection, conduction and phase-change heat transfer. Revise Reynolds, Nusselt and Prandtl numbers. Understand condensation, droplet formation and coupled heat/mass transfer.
How to Prepare – CFD
Revise mesh generation, boundary conditions, solver selection and convergence. Understand turbulence modelling conceptually. Prepare to explain how CFD results are validated. If you used ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM or another solver, prepare one project example from geometry to final results.
How to Prepare – AI/ML
Revise supervised learning, regression, model validation and error metrics. Understand how simulation/sensor data can train predictive models. Prepare Python-based data-processing examples if relevant. Think about how an AI controller could change fogging/cooling under varying humidity, temperature and airflow.
Research Interview Preparation
Read basic literature on atmospheric water harvesting and bio-inspired condensation. Understand why water-efficient mining matters. Prepare a short explanation of how your background supports one of the project's stated objectives.
Avoid claiming tools or skills you have not actually used.
Important Instructions
Deadline is 28 September 2026; submit early. Include marksheets/certificates from Class 10 onward as requested. Do not omit CGPA/percentage evidence. Use a clear email subject mentioning the Research Assistant position. Keep the CV technical and project-focused. Initial appointment is one year; extension depends on performance. Use only the current NIT Nagaland advertisement for final eligibility.
