Indian Institute of Technology Indore JRF Recruitment 2026: One (01) Junior Research Fellow Vacancy

This role is most suitable for recent B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech/M.S. graduates in relevant engineering/materials science disciplines who possess a valid GATE/CSIR-UGC NET (JRF/LS) qualification and a strong academic record (first division). It's an excellent opportunity for highly motivated individuals interested in advanced research in the 'Development of Mo-free Duplex Stainless Steel' project, with the potential to pursue a Ph.D. at IIT Indore.

Candidates who do not hold a valid GATE/CSIR-UGC NET qualification or fail to meet the mandatory 'first division' academic criterion should not apply. Individuals seeking permanent government employment or those whose research interests do not align with materials science, particularly the project's specific focus, will find this position unsuitable. With only one vacancy, applicants should be prepared for intense competition.

IIT Indore is a nationally renowned institute, offering a highly prestigious academic and research environment. The Junior Research Fellow position provides invaluable research experience under an externally sponsored project, laying a strong foundation for a career in academia or research. It offers significant exposure to cutting-edge materials research and serves as a direct pathway to a Ph.D. program, enhancing long-term career prospects in scientific and engineering fields.
