Indian Institute of Technology (ISM) Dhanbad: PhD. Fellowship Recruitment 2026 - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for ambitious postgraduate candidates holding a Master's degree with a first-class academic record, who have also qualified in UGC/CSIR-NET (JRF/Assistant Professor/PhD only). Candidates with a keen interest and knowledge in Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) seeking a full-time PhD fellowship within a prestigious institution will find this opportunity particularly suitable.

Individuals without a Master's degree, or those who have not qualified in UGC/CSIR-NET, should not apply as these are essential qualifications. Furthermore, applications lacking the mandatory UGC/CSIR award letters will be automatically rejected. Candidates not interested in extensive research within the IPR domain will find this position unsuitable.

This fellowship offers a highly prestigious opportunity to pursue a PhD at the Indian Institute of Technology (ISM) Dhanbad, a renowned central government institution. Working under the supervision of a DPIIT-IPR Chair Professor, the selected candidate will engage in cutting-edge research across the IP value chain. This position promises significant academic growth, contributing to scholarly outputs, and provides an excellent foundation for a career in research, academia, or specialized IPR fields with strong institutional backing.
