Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi Recruitment 2026: 01 Junior Research Fellow (JRF) Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated and research-oriented candidates with a strong academic background in Mechanical Engineering. Individuals holding a First Division B.E./B.Tech with GATE/NET or an M.E./M.Tech (First Division at both levels) who are eager to contribute to cutting-edge research in 'Hydrogen Explosions' under the National Green Hydrogen Mission will find this opportunity particularly rewarding. Aspiring Ph.D. candidates are encouraged, as the position offers a pathway to doctoral studies within IIT (BHU).

Candidates without a First Division in their relevant engineering degrees (B.E./B.Tech with GATE/NET or M.E./M.Tech) should not apply. Those seeking a permanent government position will find this unsuitable, as the role is purely temporary and project-specific (up to 3 years). Individuals lacking fundamental understanding or interest in combustion, fluid mechanics, and related computational/experimental techniques may also struggle to excel in this specialized research environment.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at IIT (BHU), a premier Indian Institute of Technology, offers significant academic prestige and invaluable research exposure. This role provides an excellent platform for individuals to immerse themselves in a nationally important project under the MNRE, gain hands-on experience in advanced research methodologies, and potentially transition into a Ph.D. program, thus opening doors for a strong academic or R&D career path.
