NIT Raipur Junior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 — 2 Posts, Apply by 30 Aug

National Institute of Technology Raipur (NIT Raipur) has released its Junior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 notification, inviting applications for 2 posts on a contractual basis. Eligible candidates can apply through email until 30 August 2026. Applicants need an M.Tech/M.E./M.Sc/M.Sc. Tech. in Applied Geology, Geology, Hydrogeology, Geophysics, Water Resources Engineering, Geomatics, Geoinformatics, Remote Sensing & GIS, or other relevant allied disciplines. The Junior Research Fellow role at NIT Raipur follows the age limit norms set by the Government of India for SC/ST/OBC/Women/PwD candidates. Selection for this NIT Raipur post involves an Interview followed by Document Verification, with a tentative interview date of 01 September 2026. Selected candidates will receive Rs. 37,000 per month plus 20% HRA, on a contractual basis. Interested candidates should send their complete application, including bio-data, educational certificates, and experience proof, to the official NIT Raipur email address mentioned in the notification well before the 30 August 2026 deadline, since there is no application fee for any category. The wide range of eligible disciplines for this NIT Raipur JRF post — spanning Geology, Hydrogeology, Geophysics, Water Resources Engineering, and Remote Sensing & GIS — suggests the underlying research project likely involves a multidisciplinary earth-sciences investigation, possibly related to groundwater assessment, geological mapping, or a similar field-based study common in Chhattisgarh's mineral-rich terrain. Candidates with hands-on GIS software experience, such as ArcGIS or QGIS, or remote sensing image processing skills, may find their practical background particularly valuable for this NIT Raipur JRF position, given the strong Geoinformatics and Remote Sensing component in the eligible disciplines list. Since the interview date is already tentatively fixed for 01 September 2026, just two days after the application deadline, candidates should plan to be available on short notice and should not wait for a separate confirmation email before making themselves available for that date. With 2 vacancies open under a single advertisement, this recruitment offers eligible candidates a somewhat better chance of selection compared to single-post JRF openings at other institutes.
