Indian Institute of Technology (ISM) Dhanbad Junior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 - 01 Vacancy

This role is ideal for recent B. Tech/M. Tech graduates in CSE/Electronics with a strong academic record (minimum 60% first class) and a valid GATE/NET score. Candidates with industrial experience, proficiency in AI/ML, 3D modelling, cloud computing, and Python programming skills are highly desirable. It's particularly suited for those looking to pursue a Ph.D. as enrolment is permitted per institute rules, offering a solid foundation for a research career.

Candidates without a B. Tech or M. Tech in CSE/Electronics (or allied areas) with a first-class distinction and a valid GATE/NET score should not apply. Those primarily seeking a permanent government position might find the contractual, project-based nature less suitable. Individuals lacking basic knowledge in AI/ML or programming skills, or those exceeding the 35-year age limit (without eligible relaxations), will also not be competitive.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at an Indian Institute of Technology (ISM) Dhanbad offers significant academic prestige and invaluable research experience. This position, under a sponsored project focusing on AI-Driven Digital Twins for proactive failure prediction, provides a robust platform for hands-on experience in cutting-edge AI/ML and IoT for mining assets. It's an excellent stepping stone for a research career or pursuing a Ph.D., offering strong credentials for future academic or industry roles in relevant domains.
