IIT Delhi Junior Research Fellow (JRF) Recruitment 2026 - 01 Vacancy

This role is ideal for fresh engineering graduates (BE/B.Tech in Mechanical, Aerospace, Chemical, Engineering Physics, Maths, Computing, or related disciplines) with a strong academic record and a valid GATE score. Candidates from Centrally Funded Technical Institutes (CFTIs) with a CGPA above 8.000 are exempt from the GATE requirement. A keen interest in fluid dynamics research and a desire to work on project-based assignments at a premier institution like IIT Delhi will find this opportunity suitable.

Candidates lacking a first-class B.E./B.Tech degree in the specified disciplines or a valid GATE score (unless exempted as a CFTI graduate with a high CGPA) should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment or roles with a large team and extensive project infrastructure might find this single-vacancy, project-specific, contractual position (up to 2028) less suitable.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at IIT Delhi offers significant academic prestige and an excellent opportunity to gain research experience in a leading technical institution. While it is a contractual, project-based role with a limited duration, it provides a strong foundation for a career in research, academia, or further postgraduate studies, enhancing one's profile considerably within a highly regarded research environment.
