About the research project

The project aims to model and implement a field-effect-transistor (FET)-based soil sensor using artificial-intelligence-assisted methods for precision farming. It is hosted by the Department of Electronics and Communication at the University of Allahabad and funded through CST-UP’s research and development scheme. The subject area may interest applicants whose academic background and research interests align with electronics, sensor systems, instrumentation, applied modelling or related fields, subject to the exact eligibility criteria.

Eligibility, salary and documents

The short extension notice does not reproduce the complete eligibility, consolidated remuneration, age limit or required document list. Those details must be checked in the revised detailed notification linked from the university page. Do not infer a qualification or salary from the project title. Before applying, verify the exact designation; essential degree/discipline and marks; required research or technical experience; monthly remuneration and project tenure; application route and subject line; and all supporting documents.

How to apply

Open the official University of Allahabad notice.
Open the revised detailed notification associated with JK/555/2026 and read every page.
Confirm that your qualification and experience match the essential criteria exactly.
Prepare the application in the prescribed format and attach certificates, marksheets, CV and any other documents required by the notice.
Submit using the method specified in the revised notification before 15 October 2026.
Keep the sent email, acknowledgement or delivery proof and a copy of the full application package.

Applicant checklist

Confirm the post title: the extension notice says Junior Research Assistant, while the original project description says Research Assistant.
Use the revised notification, not an earlier copy, to check eligibility and remuneration.
Ensure education and experience details are supported by certificates.
Use reference JK/555/2026 wherever requested.
Check all attachments for legibility and completeness.
Submit before the deadline and retain proof.

Selection process

The extension notice does not specify the complete selection stages. The revised detailed notification is authoritative for screening, interview, document verification and assessment. Applicants should be ready to explain relevant technical skills and their interest in sensor-based precision agriculture, but should not assume a particular interview format unless the official document states it.

Application verification worksheet

Because the extension notice and the original project description use slightly different role wording, use this worksheet before submitting. It helps prevent a technically eligible candidate from applying under the wrong designation or format.

Item to confirm	Where to verify	Do not submit until…
Final post title	Revised detailed notification for JK/555/2026	The title in your application matches the latest notice.
Degree and discipline	Essential qualification section	Your degree, subject and marks meet the stated criteria.
Experience requirement	Eligibility and desirable qualifications sections	Any required experience is supported by certificates.
Monthly remuneration and tenure	Project terms in the revised notice	You understand the contractual nature and project duration.
Submission route	Application instructions	You know the exact email/post/online route and any subject line.
Deadline and attachments	Extension notice and application instructions	All requested documents are attached and submission can be completed before 15 October.

How to avoid a last-day application error

Download the revised notice and save it with the advertisement number in the filename.
Make a checklist of each required document from the notice; do not rely on a generic online checklist.
Use consistent spelling of your name, date of birth and qualification details across the form and certificates.
Check each attachment opens, is readable and includes all pages.
Submit with enough time to correct an email bounce, portal issue or missing attachment.
Keep a local copy of the sent application and any acknowledgement. If the notice specifies a particular email subject or file naming convention, follow it exactly.

Important: The accessible extension notice does not list the pay, complete eligibility or exact application channel. Those are deliberate stop-check items, not details to guess. If the revised notification is unclear, use the university’s official contact information on its website before submission.

Example: checking your application before submission

Suppose an applicant has a degree in electronics and has worked on sensor prototyping. That background may be relevant to the project’s subject, but it does not automatically establish eligibility. The applicant should open the revised JK/555/2026 notice, compare the exact degree/discipline requirement, check any minimum marks or experience conditions, and confirm whether the post title is Research Assistant or Junior Research Assistant. Only after each essential condition is supported by evidence should the candidate complete the form.

Final 24-hour submission plan

First pass: download the revised notification and extension notice from the university’s official page.
Eligibility pass: mark each essential requirement and identify the certificate or record that proves it.
Application pass: use the exact post name and advertisement number; check every field and signature.
Attachment pass: open each scanned certificate and CV to ensure all pages are readable.
Submission pass: follow only the application channel stated in the revised notice, before the 15 October deadline.
Proof pass: save the final application, the sent message or delivery receipt, and any acknowledgement together in one folder.

This sequence is particularly important because the public extension notice does not reproduce the complete salary, eligibility or submission instructions. Treat any detail not confirmed in the revised notice as unresolved rather than relying on a third-party summary.

Simple application log template

Keep a small record for your own use once the application is sent. Fill in only details you can verify from the revised official notification and your submission receipt.

Tracking field	Your record
Advertisement number	JK/555/2026
Final designation copied from revised notice	________________________
Submission route stated by university	________________________
Date/time submitted	________________________
Application file name / email subject, if required	________________________
Acknowledgement or delivery proof	________________________
Eligibility detail still needing clarification	________________________

Save the record with the application copy. If the official notice does not clearly answer a question about eligibility or the submission route, ask the university using contact information published on its official website before the deadline. Do not send personal documents to unofficial email addresses or assume a third-party website can confirm your eligibility.

Five-point readiness scorecard

Before you submit, tick each item only after checking the official notice or your own documents:

☐ I have opened the revised detailed notification, not only the deadline-extension notice.
☐ The final post title and advertisement number on my form match the latest notice.
☐ I meet every essential qualification and experience condition, and can prove it with documents.
☐ I have used the submission route, file format and email subject specified by the university.
☐ I can submit before 15 October 2026 and will save proof of submission.

If any box remains unchecked, resolve it before applying. This quick self-audit is especially important where the short public notice does not restate the complete criteria.

If a requirement is unclear: questions to resolve first

Do not guess when the revised notice leaves an eligibility point unclear. Before sending the application, identify the exact paragraph and seek clarification through the University of Allahabad’s official contact channel. The useful questions are:

“For advertisement JK/555/2026, what exact designation should appear on the application: Junior Research Assistant or Research Assistant?”
“Which degree discipline and experience combination is mandatory for this position?”
“What is the prescribed application method and is there a required email subject or file format?”
“What is the consolidated remuneration and project tenure stated in the revised notice?”

Ask only questions not already answered in the revised notification. Keep a note of the date, channel and response, but treat the published notification as controlling if it is later updated. Do not send personal identity documents through an unofficial channel while seeking clarification.

Optional email wording if the revised notice asks for email submission

Use this only if the official revised notification specifically permits or requires email applications. If it requires a different method, follow that method instead.

Subject: Application for [exact post title in revised notice] — Advertisement JK/555/2026
