National Institute of Technology Agartala (NIT Agartala) JRF Recruitment 2026 - 1 Post

NIT Agartala has released Advertisement No. F.NITA.14(Physics)/Project 2016/ANRF/JRF for one Junior Research Fellow (JRF)/Project Associate-I position under an Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF) funded project titled "Development of a Machine Learning Assisted Wearable Sensor for Real-Time Detection of Acetone in Ear Canal for Diabetes Monitoring". The project runs for 36 months under Principal Investigator Dr. Suvra Prakash Mondal in the Department of Physics. This is a good opportunity for M.Sc Physics graduates interested in nanomaterials and sensor research, and the selected candidate also gets the option to register for a Ph.D. at NIT Agartala later. This ANRF-funded project focuses on building a wearable, real-time diabetes-monitoring device by detecting acetone levels in the ear canal — a growing area of biomedical sensor research.

Who Can Apply?

• Qualification: M.Sc in Physics/Applied Physics, BS-MS in Physics, BT-MT in Engineering Physics, or M.Sc/M.Tech in Nanotechnology/Material Science
• Desirable: Experience in synthesis of nanomaterials and sensors

Your application should cover your personal details, category, gender, marital status, whether you are NET or GATE qualified, any project you undertook during your M.Tech/M.Sc/B.Tech, and your research experience with supporting certificates. You should also include your Aadhaar number and your complete educational record from Class 10 onwards, along with a list of any SCI/Scopus papers, conference papers, books, or patents you have.

This is a free application — no application fee is charged for this position.

Salary

• You will get Rs. 37,000 per month if you have GATE/NET or an equivalent qualification, as per ANRF norms
• You will get Rs. 30,000 per month if you do not have GATE/NET or an equivalent qualification
