NIT Warangal Junior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 — 1 Post, Apply by 17 Sep (Civil/WRE)

National Institute of Technology Warangal (NIT Warangal) has released its Junior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 notification under Advertisement No. NITW/CED/WRE/NVU/JD/01, inviting applications for 1 post on a contractual basis. Eligible candidates can apply through email until 17 September 2026. Applicants need a B.Tech/B.E. in Civil Engineering or Agricultural Engineering (or equivalent), along with an M.Tech/M.E. in a relevant Civil Engineering specialization, or alternatively a Bachelor's degree in Civil or Agricultural Engineering alone with the prescribed marks. The Junior Research Fellow role at NIT Warangal, in the Civil Engineering Department's Water Resources Engineering division, requires a minimum of 60% aggregate marks or 6.5 CGPA at UG and PG for General/EWS/OBC-NCL candidates, and 55% marks or 6.0 CGPA for SC/ST/PwD candidates. GATE qualification is not mandatory for this post. Selection is based on an Interview, which may be conducted online or offline, and the maximum age limit is 30 years, with age relaxation applicable as per institute rules. Selected candidates will receive Rs. 37,000 per month for the first two years and Rs. 42,000 per month during the third year. Interested candidates should send their complete application to the official NIT Warangal email address mentioned in the notification well before the 17 September 2026 deadline, since there is no application fee for any category. This post runs alongside a companion JRF position (Advt No. NITW/CED/WRE/JD/PMECRG/01) in the same Water Resources Engineering division — candidates should apply to the specific advertisement matching the project they are interested in. NIT Warangal's Water Resources Engineering division is currently running two parallel JRF-funded projects, "JewDas One" and "JewDas Two," each with its own distinct advertisement number and email address. Candidates should carefully match their application to the correct project reference, since submitting to the wrong advertisement number could delay or disqualify an otherwise eligible candidacy from being considered for the intended position. Candidates with a strong academic background in hydrology, irrigation systems, or water resources planning may find this position well aligned with their research interests, given the department's focus area.
