NIT Silchar Junior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 — 1 Post, Apply by 03 Sep

National Institute of Technology Silchar (NIT Silchar) has released its Junior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 notification under Advertisement No. NITS/Dean(R&C)/ECE/721/01/2026, inviting applications for 1 post on a contractual basis. The notification was issued on 18 August 2026, and eligible candidates can apply through email until 03 September 2026. Applicants need an M.Tech/ME in Electronics & Communication Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Electronics & Instrumentation, along with a valid GATE score. The Junior Research Fellow role at NIT Silchar carries a maximum age limit of 35 years, with relaxation available for SC/ST/OBC/Women/PwD candidates as per Government of India rules. Selection for this NIT Silchar post is based on an Interview, with no separate written examination stage. Selected candidates will receive a monthly stipend of Rs. 37,000 plus 10% House Rent Allowance, on a contractual basis. Interested candidates should send their complete application, including bio-data, educational certificates, and experience proof, to the official NIT Silchar email address mentioned in the notification well before the 03 September 2026 deadline, since there is no application fee for any category. This is one of several Junior Research Fellow positions NIT Silchar has advertised in August 2026 across its Dean (Research & Consultancy) office, spanning Mechanical, Electrical, and Electronics & Communication Engineering departments — candidates should apply to the specific advertisement matching their specialization, since each JRF post is tied to a distinct sponsored research project with its own eligibility and reporting structure. Candidates with a GATE score in Electronics & Communication Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering should verify their score validity period before applying, since a lapsed GATE score would render an otherwise qualified candidate ineligible for this JRF position. The stipend of Rs. 37,000 plus 10% HRA is consistent with standard JRF pay scales at NITs, and the fellowship offers a pathway to further research opportunities, including potential upgrade to Senior Research Fellow status upon satisfactory performance review during the tenure. Interested candidates in Assam and neighbouring Northeast states may find this opportunity particularly convenient given the Silchar campus location. Outstation candidates are equally welcome to apply, as the notification does not restrict eligibility by domicile.
