IIT Ropar JRF Mechanical Engineering Recruitment 2026: Overview
Indian Institute of Technology Ropar (IIT Ropar) is recruiting a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) for a Mechanical Engineering project in Rupnagar, Punjab. The Aeronautics Research and Development Board (ARDB), Government of India, funds the study, with Dr. Sachin Kumar as principal investigator.
The project examines graphene modification and weathering in fibre-reinforced composites, with a focus on fatigue performance. It brings together glass-fibre-reinforced polymers (GFRPs) and carbon-fibre-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) within the same study.
The notice identifies the work as project ARDB/SP/4513/2261. Its research questions cover behaviour at the micro level, comparisons between conventional and graphene-modified composites, and the effect of weathering on hybrid materials.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Project tenure: The engagement can run for three years, but it ends earlier if the project finishes first. You should read this as a project-linked appointment, with its duration tied to the study.
- Annual renewal: The position is temporary and renewed each year only when performance is satisfactory. The advertised project duration does not remove the annual performance condition.
- PhD opportunity: If selected, you can apply to IIT Ropar's regular PhD programme. You still need to meet that programme's own admission requirements; selection for this project does not itself provide PhD admission.
Application Submission Notes
For questions about this project, contact Dr. Sachin Kumar at sachin@iitrpr.ac.in. The notice gives his address as Room 321, Satish Dhawan Block, IIT Ropar, Rupnagar, Punjab 140001; the application route remains the Google Form named in the notice.
