About This Recruitment
MDU Rohtak’s Department of Education is recruiting a Field Investigator for a timely CRSISEC-funded research project examining how prepared Indian higher education institutions are for AI-enabled inclusive classrooms, specifically focused on accessibility and learning outcomes for students with disabilities under the NEP 2020 framework. This is a focused, short-duration research engagement suited to Postgraduate and M.Ed. qualified candidates with an interest in inclusive education, disability studies and field-based data collection.
Why This Research Topic Matters
As Indian higher education institutions increasingly adopt AI-enabled tools and platforms, understanding whether these systems are genuinely accessible to students with disabilities has become a pressing policy and pedagogical question under the NEP 2020’s emphasis on inclusive education. Candidates selected for this Field Investigator role will directly contribute to generating original field data on this emerging intersection of educational technology and disability inclusion, offering meaningful research experience relevant to both education policy and special education career paths.
Preparing a Strong Email Application
Since applications are accepted only by email and the deadline is only days away, candidates should immediately compile a clear PDF or well-organized attachment set with their CV, application form, and self-attested educational certificates from 10th standard onward, rather than sending scattered individual files at the last minute. Given the compressed timeline between the application deadline and the interview date, candidates should also begin organizing their original documents for verification now, since bringing originals to the interview is mandatory and any missing document could jeopardize an otherwise strong candidacy.
Understanding CRSISEC-Funded Research Projects
CRSISEC (Centre for Research in Schemes and Innovative Studies in Education and Curriculum, or a similarly structured university research funding body) Minor Research Projects like this one typically fund short, focused studies addressing emerging or policy-relevant questions in education, distinct from larger multi-year ICSSR or UGC-funded projects. For a Field Investigator, this scale of project often means closer, more direct involvement with the Principal Investigator and hands-on exposure to the entire research cycle, from data collection through to documentation, within a compact and well-defined timeframe.
About MDU Rohtak’s Department of Education
Maharshi Dayanand University, an ‘A+’ Grade NAAC-accredited State University established in Haryana, has an active Department of Education engaged in policy-relevant research spanning teacher education, curriculum studies and, through this project, the emerging intersection of artificial intelligence and disability inclusion in higher education. Working on a project of this nature offers the selected Field Investigator direct exposure to a NAAC ‘A+’ rated university’s research environment, along with the opportunity to contribute to a study with genuine relevance to ongoing NEP 2020 implementation efforts across Indian higher education institutions.
Why This Role Suits Candidates from Special Education or Disability Studies Backgrounds
Given that the research focuses specifically on accessibility and learning outcomes for students with disabilities, candidates with a background in special education, disability studies, or inclusive pedagogy, in addition to the required M.Ed. qualification, may find their specific expertise particularly valued during the field data collection and analysis phases of this project. Even candidates without this specific specialization but with strong general research methodology skills and genuine interest in inclusive education policy should find this a meaningful short-term research engagement worth pursuing given the compressed application timeline.
Understanding the NEP 2020 Connection
The National Education Policy 2020 places significant emphasis on equitable and inclusive education, explicitly calling for higher education institutions to become more accessible to students with disabilities through both physical infrastructure and technology-enabled support systems. This project’s focus on AI-enabled classrooms sits directly at the intersection of two major NEP 2020 priorities, technology integration in education and disability inclusion, making its findings potentially relevant to policymakers and institutional administrators well beyond the immediate scope of the research itself.
Tips for a Timely Submission
Given the very short window before the 06 September 2026 deadline, candidates should not wait to perfect every detail of their CV before applying; a complete, accurate application with all required attachments submitted promptly is far more valuable than a delayed, polished one that misses the cutoff. Candidates should also double-check that their email correctly reaches vanita.edu@mdurohtak.ac.in, ideally requesting a read receipt or a brief acknowledgment reply, given how critical timely delivery confirmation becomes when a deadline is only days away.
A Final Note on the Interview Process
Since the interview is scheduled just four days after the application deadline, at 10:00 AM on 10 September 2026, shortlisted candidates should plan their travel to the Department of Education at MDU Rohtak well in advance, keeping in mind that no TA/DA will be reimbursed for attending. Bringing a complete set of original documents, matching exactly what was submitted electronically in the initial application, will help ensure the verification process at the interview proceeds smoothly without any avoidable delays or disqualification on procedural grounds.
A Reminder to Act Promptly
Eligible Postgraduate and M.Ed. qualified candidates genuinely interested in inclusive education research should treat this as a genuinely time-critical opportunity and send their complete, well-organized application well before the 06 September 2026 deadline permanently and irreversibly closes this narrow, genuinely valuable window of research opportunity now open.
