NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, SRINAGAR JUNIOR PROJECT FELLOW RECRUITMENT 2026: 3 Vacancies

This role is ideal for highly motivated M.Sc. Chemistry postgraduates (or related subjects) looking to gain research experience within a government-funded project. Candidates interested in pursuing a Ph.D. and contributing to cutting-edge research on sustainable bioplastics are particularly well-suited. Strong academic records are essential, especially for General/OBC candidates needing 60% marks and SC/ST/PWD candidates needing 55% marks.

Individuals seeking a permanent government position should not apply, as this is a purely temporary, project-specific role for 3 years. Candidates above 28 years of age (unless eligible for government age relaxation) or those without an M.Sc. in Chemistry or a closely related field will not be considered. Those unable to commit to frequent travel for project-related work should also reconsider.

Working as a Junior Project Fellow at the National Institute of Technology, Srinagar, an Institute of National Importance, offers significant prestige and a strong foundation for a research career. The project, funded by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (Govt. of India), provides exposure to high-impact environmental research. While the position itself is temporary, it offers a valuable stepping stone for future academic or research roles, including potential Ph.D. registration.
