IIT Mandi Recruitment 2026: Junior Research Fellow (JRF) - 1 Post in Power Converters Project

This role is ideal for highly motivated candidates holding an M.Tech (or equivalent) in Power Electronics, Control Systems, or related Electrical Engineering specializations, combined with a B.Tech in Electrical/Electronics Engineering. A strong academic record (60% CGPA) and a valid GATE score in Electrical or Instrumentation Engineering are essential. The ideal candidate will thrive in a project-based research environment, demonstrating a keen interest in Ultra High Efficient Compact Power Converters for RF Communication Systems.

Candidates who do not meet the specified M.Tech and GATE qualification requirements should not apply. Individuals seeking permanent government employment or those uncomfortable with a fixed-term, project-dependent contractual role should also consider other opportunities. Lack of relevant engineering degrees or the minimum academic percentage will be a dealbreaker.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), especially on a project funded by the prestigious Board of Research in Nuclear Sciences (BRNS) under the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), offers significant academic and research prestige. This position provides valuable experience in cutting-edge research, enhancing future prospects in academia or R&D. While the role is temporary and project-specific, it offers an excellent platform for professional development and networking within a premier institution.
