Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology Bhopal (MANIT) 2026 Recruitment for 01 Junior Research Fellow (JRF) Post

This role is ideal for engineering graduates (B.Tech/M.Tech in ECE, CSE, IT, AI or related disciplines) with a strong academic background, preferably GATE qualified, who possess desirable knowledge in Python Programming and Deep Learning. It is particularly suitable for individuals aspiring to gain research experience within a prestigious institution like an NIT and contribute to projects sponsored by organizations like ISRO. Candidates interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in the future will find this a valuable stepping stone, as MANIT offers the opportunity to apply for their regular Ph.D. program.

This position is purely temporary and contract-based, limited to a maximum of 24 months, co-terminus with the project. Therefore, candidates seeking permanent government employment or long-term job security should not apply. Individuals without a B.Tech/M.Tech in the specified or relevant disciplines, or those uncomfortable with a project-specific, non-employee status, will find this role unsuitable.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (MANIT) Bhopal on an ISRO-sponsored project offers significant prestige and exposure. It provides a solid foundation in cutting-edge research, particularly in 'Hand gesture based activities for Human space missions'. This experience is highly valuable for academic and research careers, enhancing prospects for higher studies (like Ph.D.) and future roles in research & development within government, PSUs, or private sector organizations focusing on AI, ECE, and space technology.
