IIEST Shibpur Junior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 — 1 Post, Apply by 28 Aug (Mechanical/Materials Science)

Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (IIEST Shibpur) has released its Junior Research Fellow (JRF) Recruitment 2026 notification under Advertisement No. CH 1950, inviting applications for 1 post on a contractual basis. Eligible candidates can apply through email until 28 August 2026. Applicants need an M.Sc./M.Tech in Mechanical, Production, Manufacturing, Material Science, Metallurgy, Aerospace, Laser, Physics, or Chemistry with a minimum of 60% marks or 6.5 CGPA and a valid GATE/NET score (55% for SC/ST/PwD), or a B.Tech/B.E with 80% marks and a valid GATE score. The Junior Research Fellow role at IIEST Shibpur carries a maximum age limit of 35 years, with relaxation of up to 5 years for SC/ST/OBC/Women and Physically Handicapped candidates. Selection for this IIEST Shibpur post is a two-stage process comprising Shortlisting and an Interview. Selected candidates will receive a consolidated monthly pay ranging from Rs. 37,000 to Rs. 48,100. Interested candidates should send their complete application, including bio-data, educational certificates, and experience proof, to the official IIEST Shibpur email address mentioned in the notification well before the 28 August 2026 deadline, since there is no application fee for any category. The unusually broad discipline eligibility for this IIEST Shibpur JRF post — spanning Mechanical, Production, Manufacturing, Materials Science, Metallurgy, Aerospace, Laser Science, Physics, and Chemistry — suggests the underlying research project likely involves advanced materials processing or laser-based manufacturing techniques, an interdisciplinary area that draws on both core engineering and applied physical sciences. Candidates should note that the B.Tech/B.E entry route carries a notably higher marks threshold of 80% compared to the 60% required for M.Sc./M.Tech applicants, reflecting the institute's expectation that Bachelor's-only candidates demonstrate stronger academic performance to compensate for not holding a postgraduate degree. Interested candidates should apply well ahead of the 28 August 2026 deadline to ensure their application receives full consideration during the shortlisting stage. This position offers a solid research opportunity for engineering and applied science postgraduates at IIEST Shibpur.
