NIT Calicut Recruitment 2026: 1 Junior Research Fellow/Project Associate I Vacancy

This role is ideal for recent B.Tech/M.Tech graduates in Mechanical, Production, Automobile, or Aerospace Engineering who are seeking a focused research opportunity. Candidates aspiring for the Junior Research Fellow (JRF) position should preferably be GATE qualified or have cleared other national-level examinations. Those interested in cutting-edge projects related to MEMS-based liquid cooling systems, with a passion for research and development within a prestigious national institute, will find this role highly suitable.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a contract-based position for an initial period of nine months. Candidates who do not meet the specific Bachelor's degree requirements in the mentioned engineering disciplines, or for the JRF role, lack the necessary GATE qualification or national exam clearance, will not be eligible. This position is also not suitable for those looking for administrative or non-technical roles.

Working at the National Institute of Technology Calicut (NIT Calicut) offers significant academic prestige and a vibrant research environment. The project's association with the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) as a sponsoring agency adds considerable value and exposure to high-impact research. This contract-based role provides an excellent platform for career growth in research, potentially leading to further academic pursuits or specialized industry positions, enhancing a candidate's profile significantly.
