NIT Warangal JRF Underwater Sensors Recruitment 2026

NIT Warangal JRF Recruitment 2026: Overview

National Institute of Technology Warangal (NIT Warangal) is hiring a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) in its Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering for an IIT Guwahati-sponsored research project. The project, Hybrid TENG/PENG Sensor Development for Underwater Applications, brings together sensor fabrication and underwater communication research. You would join a project team led by Prof. Prakash Kodali, with Prof. Ch. V. Rama Rao as co-investigator. The engagement is contractual and tied to the research project at Warangal in Telangana.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Project tenure: The appointment can run for a maximum of 2 years or until the project ends, whichever comes first. Your time in the role is limited by the project tenure.
• Extension: The notice links continuation after the initial year to your performance. Read the extension condition alongside the overall project limit when considering the offer.
• Nature of appointment: This is a temporary research engagement within the sponsored project. The notice describes the position in that project context, so you should assess it as a project fellowship.
• Doctoral study: You may apply to register for a Ph.D. at NIT Warangal under the institute’s rules. You must apply separately when the Ph.D. advertisement opens; selection for this fellowship does not replace that application.
• Communication: The institute will post the shortlist on its website and also contact shortlisted applicants by email or phone. Keep the contact details in your form accurate so the team can reach you.
• Interview arrangements: The institute may use an online or in-person format. If you are called online, you need a reliable internet connection and a working camera.
• Travel costs: NIT Warangal will not pay travel or daily allowances for attending the interview. Keep this condition in mind if the institute asks you to attend in person.
• Accuracy of information: The application includes a declaration about the information you provide. Incorrect information or an unmet condition can lead to cancellation, including when it is found after selection.
