IIT BHU JRF Ceramic Engineering Recruitment 2026: Overview
Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) Varanasi is recruiting Junior Research Fellows (JRFs) for its Centre of Excellence project on sustainable hydrogen technologies and fuel cell development. Based in the Department of Ceramic Engineering, this is a project-linked research engagement supported by UPNEDA, with Dr. Preetam Singh as principal investigator and Dr. Asha Gupta from Chemistry as co-investigator.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Project tenure: The sponsored project has a sanctioned duration of three years. Your appointment is temporary and ends with the project; the notice does not offer a regular institute position.
- Nature of engagement: Read the project duration together with the co-terminus condition. A sanctioned research period describes the project, while the appointment remains tied to that project.
- Equal-merit preference: The notice gives SC/ST applicants preference when other factors are equal, under Government of India rules.
- Interview travel: You will need to meet your own travel and daily expenses if called for an interview; the institute will not reimburse these costs.
- Reference mismatch: The advertisement heading ends in /2026/02, while its submission paragraph refers to /2026/01. Both occur in the same notice, so ask the project office which reference to use if you need clarification.
Application Submission Notes
Send your plain-paper application to the P.I., Dr. Preetam Singh, Department of Ceramic Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi 221005. This is a physical submission route, and the notice measures the application window from the advertisement date.
The project title and project code RISE/COE/SA/CER/26-27/917 help identify the research engagement despite the differing advertisement references. Address your application to the named principal investigator and allow time for it to reach the department.

You need a first-class M.Sc./M.Tech or equivalent CGPA in one of the listed science or engineering disciplines. The notice gives conflicting GATE/CSIR-UGC NET requirements, so confirm your status with the PI before relying on the non-qualified fellowship provision.
Send your plain-paper application and self-attested supporting records to Dr. Preetam Singh, Department of Ceramic Engineering, IIT (BHU), Varanasi 221005.
The table lists Rs. 37,000 per month for GATE/CSIR-UGC NET qualified applicants and Rs. 25,000 for non-qualified applicants, plus 20% HRA. Confirm the non-qualified route because the eligibility table also lists the examination qualification as essential.
