About This Job

IIT Kharagpur Project Engineer Recruitment 2026: Overview
Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT Kharagpur) is hiring a Project Engineer - Research for its G.S. Sanyal School of Telecommunication. The post belongs to the "6G Research and Standardization" project (project code R/GEA), led by Prof. Debarati Sen and sponsored by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India.
This is a time-bound research assignment handled by the institute's Sponsored Research and Industrial Consultancy (SRIC) office, so it ends with the project and is not a permanent institute post. It suits communication and networking engineers who want to work on next-generation wireless technology and the standards that will shape it. The pay is a consolidated monthly amount fixed within the ceiling based on your qualification and experience.
The notice favours candidates with a Communication or Network specialisation at the master's level, or an ECE/ETC bachelor's degree with relevant experience. Strong basics in digital or wireless communication, signal processing or networks, plus coding in MATLAB, C/C++ or Python, will help your application stand out.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Tenure: 24 months or until the project ends, whichever comes first.
- Marks across your career: You need at least 60% marks throughout your academic career, not just in your final degree.
- Age relaxation: Any relaxation follows only the sponsoring agency's rules, if such rules exist.
- Shortlisting: Meeting the minimum qualification and experience does not guarantee an interview call.
