Indian Institute of Technology Mandi Recruitment 2026: 2 Vacancies for JRF/Project Associate-I

This role is ideally suited for ambitious engineering graduates (B.E/B.Tech) with a specialization in Electronics & Communication, Electrical, Computer Science, IT, AI, or Data Science. Candidates with a keen interest in advanced research in 4G/5G telecom networks, AI-driven solutions, and marine robotics, who are seeking temporary project-based experience at a premier institute, will find this opportunity highly engaging. Desirable experience in telecom domain knowledge, systems/control, and data-driven optimization is a significant advantage.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a temporary, project-specific position with an initial tenure of 12 months. Candidates lacking the specified engineering qualifications or those not comfortable with a research-intensive, project-driven work environment may find this role unsuitable.

Working as a JRF/Project Associate-I at the Indian Institute of Technology Mandi, a central government-funded institution, offers significant academic prestige and a valuable entry point into cutting-edge research. The project, funded by Adavya Networks, provides exposure to industry-relevant challenges in 4G/5G network optimization and AI. This experience can serve as a strong foundation for further postgraduate studies (M.Tech/Ph.D.) or specialized roles in the telecom and AI sectors, enhancing long-term career growth in high-tech fields.
