INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ROORKEE (IITR) Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) Recruitment 2026 | 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated and academically strong candidates holding M.Tech/M.E. or B.Tech/B.E. degrees in Chemical Engineering or related fields, particularly those with valid CSIR/UGC-NET/GATE qualifications and a keen interest in sustainable energy research. Candidates from Centrally Funded Technical Institutes with excellent academic records (CGPA 8.0/10 or above) and a valid GATE score are particularly well-suited. The position offers a valuable opportunity to engage in cutting-edge research under the guidance of IIT Roorkee faculty.

Candidates who do not possess the specified educational qualifications (M.Tech/M.E. or B.Tech/B.E. with required specialization), lack a valid CSIR/UGC-NET/GATE qualification (or an expired GATE score if B.Tech/B.E. qualified), or fail to meet the minimum academic performance criteria (CGPA 8.0/10 from CFTI for B.Tech/B.E. holders) should not apply. Those primarily seeking permanent government employment may find this project-based, contractual position unsuitable.

IIT Roorkee is one of India's premier engineering institutions, renowned for its academic excellence and research contributions. This Junior Research Fellowship, supported by NTPC Limited, offers an excellent platform for aspiring researchers to gain hands-on experience in a significant project focused on sustainable energy and circularity. It provides exposure to advanced research methodologies and facilities, enhancing career prospects in academia, R&D, and related industries. While a contractual role, it serves as a prestigious stepping stone for advanced studies or research careers.
