National Institute of Technology Kurukshetra JRF Recruitment 2026: One Junior Research Fellow Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated and research-oriented candidates with strong academic records (B.Tech/B.E. and M.Tech/M.E. with at least 60% marks/6.5 CPI) in Mechanical, Energy Science, or Renewable Energy disciplines. Candidates who have qualified GATE and those with research publications (indexed in Scopus, SCI, etc.) on Solar Energy are particularly well-suited. The position also offers a pathway to PhD admission at NIT Kurukshetra for qualified individuals.

Candidates without the specified engineering qualifications (B.Tech/B.E. and M.Tech/M.E.), failing to meet the minimum academic performance criteria (60% marks/6.5 CPI), or those who have not qualified GATE (especially for the second qualification option) should not apply. The position is temporary and project-specific, making it unsuitable for individuals seeking permanent government employment immediately.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at a National Institute of Technology (NIT), an institution of national importance under the Ministry of Education, offers significant academic and research prestige. This role, funded by the ANRF, provides excellent exposure to cutting-edge research in photovoltaic technology and a potential opportunity to pursue a PhD, which can significantly enhance long-term career prospects in academia or R&D.
