NITW Research Associate Mechanical Engineering 2026

NITW Research Associate I Recruitment 2026: Overview

National Institute of Technology Warangal (NITW) is hiring a Research Associate-I for an ANRF-sponsored project in its Department of Mechanical Engineering at Warangal, Telangana. The project studies sustainable hybrid composites for bullet-resistant structures, with 3D printing forming part of the research work. You would join a project appointment under Dr. Raghavendra Gujjala, the principal investigator.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Project duration: The advertisement gives a duration of five years. The appointment remains temporary and linked to the research work.
• Continuation: The institute can end the appointment at any point if your progress or conduct is unsatisfactory. The stated project duration should therefore be read alongside this condition.
• Research setting: The work brings sustainable hybrid composites and 3D printing together within the Mechanical Engineering department. The project focuses on designing and making structures for bullet resistance.
• Accuracy of your application: The attached declaration makes you responsible for complete and correct information. False statements or a later finding that you do not meet the conditions can lead to cancellation of your candidature.
