IIT Jammu JRF Mechanical Engineering Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indian Institute of Technology Jammu (IIT Jammu) is recruiting a Junior Research Fellow for an Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF) project in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The research examines how nuclear behaviour and thermal-hydraulic behaviour interact in a liquid-metal-cooled Bharat Micro Modular Reactor. You would join a project-based research engagement at the institute in Jammu, with Prof. Goutam Dutta named as the contact for the project.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Tenure: The engagement lasts up to one year and may end earlier if the project needs it to. Treat the stated period as an upper limit for this appointment, rather than an assurance of a full year.
• Alternative designation: The notice allows consideration as Project Associate-I where the prescribed national-examination condition for JRF is not met. This is an alternative route within the advertised opening, so you should read the designation and pay conditions together.
• Application accuracy: You are responsible for the information, photographs and other material you provide. Make sure your application represents your academic and work background accurately.
• Travel costs: If you need to attend in person, you must meet your own travel expenses. The institute also does not cover travel or daily expenses for joining if you receive an offer.
• Language: The advertisement appears in Hindi and English. The English version governs if the wording in the two versions causes uncertainty.
• Project contact: You can direct questions about this engagement to Prof. Goutam Dutta at goutam.dutta@iitjammu.ac.in. The correspondence address is the Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Jammu, Jagti, Nagrota, Jammu.
