IIT Delhi Jr. Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 - 1 Project Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate candidates holding an M.Sc. or M.Tech degree in specialized science/engineering fields (Chemistry, Physics, Polymer Science, Chemical Engineering, etc.), with a strong academic record (First Class, CGPA > 7.0) and a valid GATE/NET qualification. It suits individuals aspiring to gain research experience within a prestigious academic environment like IIT Delhi and contribute to cutting-edge projects in energy storage devices.

Candidates without the specified M.Sc./M.Tech degree, those who do not meet the minimum CGPA/First Class criteria, or M.Sc. holders without GATE/NET qualification (unless graduated from CFTIs with CGPA > 8.0) should not apply. Individuals seeking permanent government employment or roles with a large number of vacancies may find this single-post, project-based contractual position less suitable.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at IIT Delhi offers significant prestige and exposure to high-level academic research. While the position is contractual and project-specific, it provides an excellent foundation for a career in research, academia, or specialized industry roles, enhancing a candidate's profile significantly for future opportunities in India and abroad.
