National Institute of Technology Delhi, 2026, 1 Vacancy for Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for highly motivated and eligible candidates holding M.Tech/M.E./M.S. (by Research) or B.Tech/B.E. degrees in Computer Science & Engineering, IT, or ECE, with a strong academic record (minimum 6.5 CGPA/60% marks for PG or 7.5 CGPA for UG) and a valid GATE/NET qualification. Candidates with desirable experience in Image Processing, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Python programming skills will be highly preferred. This position is particularly suitable for individuals aspiring to pursue a Ph.D. at NIT Delhi, as the selected candidate will be encouraged to register for the Ph.D. program.

Candidates who do not meet the essential educational qualifications (specified engineering degrees with minimum CGPA/marks) or lack a valid GATE/NET qualification should not apply. Individuals seeking permanent government employment will find this purely contractual, project-based, and temporary position unsuitable. Those without a strong background in the desirable technical areas or Python programming might struggle.

This position provides an excellent opportunity to engage in cutting-edge research under a DST-funded project titled 'Empowering Communication: Video Captioning of Indian Sign Language'. It offers valuable research experience and a clear pathway for academic growth, including potential Ph.D. registration, within a reputable academic environment.
