IIITDM Kancheepuram Junior Research Fellow (JRF) Recruitment 2026 – 1 Post

Yes, IIITDM Kancheepuram Junior Research Fellow (JRF) Recruitment 2026 is out. The Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design and Manufacturing Kancheepuram has released Advertisement No. IIITDMK/PR/JRF/A26/2026 for 1 contractual JRF post, open to candidates with a B.E./B.Tech. in CSE, IT or ECE with a valid GATE score, or an M.E./M.Tech. in the same or related streams. The dual eligibility pathway — B.Tech. with GATE, or a Master's degree directly — is a common structure for JRF posts funded under sponsored research projects, giving both fresh postgraduate-qualified candidates and GATE-qualified undergraduates a route into the role. The post pays a competitive Rs. 37,000 per month plus 30% HRA, reflecting IIITDMK's standard JRF pay structure for its ongoing sponsored research projects in computing and electronics-related disciplines. Eligible candidates can apply online through the linked Google Form on or before 31 August 2026. Since IIITDMK runs project-specific JRF and research-assistant recruitment cycles independently of its parent institute IIITDM Jabalpur, candidates should confirm they are applying to the correct Kancheepuram-based posting and not a similarly named opening at a different IIITDM campus.
