IIT Indore Junior Research Fellow (JRF) Recruitment 2026 for 1 Vacancy

This role is most suitable for highly motivated candidates holding an M.Tech./ME or a B.Tech. with a valid GATE/NET qualification in Electronics, VLSI, Microelectronics, Signal Processing, Computer Science, AI, Data Science, or related fields. Ideal applicants will possess strong hands-on knowledge in Image Processing, Machine Learning, Python/MATLAB, and FPGAs, and are looking for short-term (6-month, extendable) research experience within a prestigious academic setting on a DRDO-sponsored project.

Individuals seeking permanent employment should not apply, as this is a contractual research position with a limited initial duration. Candidates without the specified M.Tech./ME degrees or a B.Tech. with a valid GATE/NET qualification will not be considered. Those lacking strong technical skills in image processing, machine learning, and associated programming/hardware tools (Python/MATLAB/FPGAs) will also find this role unsuitable.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at IIT Indore, especially on a DRDO-sponsored project, offers significant prestige and a valuable opportunity for career development in academic research. While the initial duration is limited, successful performance can lead to extensions, providing a strong foundation for future research roles or PhD pursuits at top institutions.
