IIT Patna Recruitment 2026: 01 Junior Research Fellow (JRF) Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated and skilled candidates holding a B.E./B.Tech./M.Tech./Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with a strong academic record (min. 60% or 6.0 CPI). Candidates possessing expertise in electric motor and controller design, particularly with working or research experience in the field, will find this a valuable opportunity. It suits individuals seeking short-term, project-based research exposure in a premier technical institute.

Individuals looking for a permanent position will find this unsuitable, as it is a temporary, time-bound contract (3-12 months). Those without a relevant Electrical Engineering degree or lacking knowledge in electric motor and controller design should not apply. Candidates whose qualifications do not meet the minimum 60% marks/6.0 CPI will also be ineligible. The role has a single vacancy, making it highly competitive.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at IIT Patna offers significant academic prestige and invaluable experience in advanced research within a leading Indian Institute of Technology. This temporary assignment can serve as an excellent stepping stone for further academic pursuits (Ph.D.) or specialized industry roles, particularly in e-mobility research and development. While short-term, the exposure to a high-impact project sponsored by DST enhances long-term career prospects in research and innovation.
