IIT Roorkee JRF Electrical Engineering Recruitment 2026: Overview
Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IIT Roorkee) is recruiting a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) for the Department of Electrical Engineering under Principal Investigator Prof. Manoj Tripathy. The project, Adaptive Protection of Distribution Network Systems with DER Integration, is sponsored by GE Renewable Energy Technologies Private Ltd., India. This is a project-linked research appointment focused on smart distribution networks, with the notice connecting the appointment to PhD enrolment at the institute.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Project tenure: The appointment can run for 4 years or until the project ends, whichever happens first. Your tenure is therefore tied to the project and may finish before the full period.
- Doctoral enrolment: The notice says the selected fellow will enrol in a PhD. This academic link is part of the advertised research opportunity within the Electrical Engineering department.
- Support after the project: The notice mentions an MHRD fellowship after the project ends, under institute policy. That policy condition matters when you consider how doctoral work may continue beyond the sponsored project.
- Interview travel: No travel or daily allowance is payable for attending the interview. If you need to travel, plan for those costs yourself.
- Communication: The institute will communicate the interview schedule and mode separately by email. Do not assume that the application notice fixes either an interview date or an attendance format.
