CAIR JRF Mathematics Recruitment 2026

CAIR JRF Mathematics Recruitment 2026: Overview

Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR), part of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), is offering a Junior Research Fellow in Mathematics engagement at its Bengaluru campus. This is a research fellowship at the DRDO Complex in C.V. Raman Nagar. The notice provides for a walk-in assessment with an advance email application, so you need to complete the email requirement before attending in person.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Fellowship tenure: The initial engagement lasts two years. An extension and an upgrade to Senior Research Fellow may follow under the applicable rules; neither is automatic.
• Further study: During the fellowship, you may be allowed to register for a PhD with a recognised university or institution. The notice presents this as a possibility during your tenure.
• Employment status: The fellowship gives you no right to absorption into DRDO. Treat it as a research engagement with its own tenure conditions.
• Travel costs: CAIR will not pay TA/DA for attending or for joining after selection. You need to make your own travel arrangements.
• Campus restrictions: Mobile phones, pen drives, laptops, optical discs and smart watches cannot be taken inside the campus. Plan around these restrictions before you travel.
• Parking: CAIR will not provide vehicle parking, and the notice says public parking is unavailable nearby. It advises using public transport.
• Joining and cancellation: Your background will be checked again when you join. CAIR may cancel the selection process or selection, and attendance does not create a right to an offer.
