NIT Mizoram Junior Research Fellow (JRF) Recruitment 2026 – 1 Post

Yes, NIT Mizoram Junior Research Fellow (JRF) Recruitment 2026 is out. The National Institute of Technology Mizoram has released a notification for 1 contractual JRF post under a Technology Development (TD) project on an AI-CPS Framework for Intelligent River Sand Mining in Mizoram, open to candidates with a relevant engineering B.Tech (with GATE) or M.Tech/M.E. qualification. The project's focus — using AI and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) to make river sand mining in Mizoram more intelligent and better monitored — is a locally relevant application tackling a significant environmental and regulatory issue in the state, where unregulated sand mining is a recurring concern. This gives the JRF role a distinct applied-research character combining computer science/electronics skills with fieldwork tied to natural resource monitoring, rather than being a purely lab-based research position. Eligible candidates can apply by email on or before 21 August 2026. Since the eligibility criteria allow either a GATE-qualified B.Tech or a direct M.Tech/M.E., candidates should clearly state their qualifying route and attach the relevant certificates (GATE scorecard or postgraduate degree) accordingly.

• BE/B.Tech (or equivalent) in Computer Science & Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or any related discipline, preferably with a valid GATE score
• Or M.Tech/M.E. in CSE/IT, ECE or any related discipline, as per DST/SERB norms for JRF in Engineering

• Maximum 28 years
• Age relaxation for SC/ST/OBC/PwD/Women candidates as per Government of India norms

• Open to candidates holding a BE/B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related discipline, preferably with a valid GATE score
• Alternatively, candidates holding an M.Tech/M.E. in CSE/IT, ECE or a related discipline are also eligible, following DST/SERB norms for JRF positions in Engineering
• Maximum age is 28 years, with relaxation for SC/ST/OBC/PwD/Women candidates as per Government of India norms
• This is a contractual position tied to a specific Technology Development project, not a permanent NIT Mizoram appointment

No application fee mentioned in the official notification

• Rs. 37,000 per month plus 10% HRA (approximately Rs. 40,700 per month)
