NIT Calicut JRF Recruitment 2026: Electrical Engineering Post, Apply by Email

NIT Calicut JRF Recruitment 2026: Key Details

NIT Calicut is inviting email applications for one Junior Research Fellow position in Electrical Engineering. The nine-month contract offers Rs. 37,000 per month plus 20% HRA. Apply by 11 November 2026; the offline interview is scheduled for 18 November 2026. The supplied recruitment information gives no application-fee amount.

Research Project and Nature of the JRF Post

The fellowship is attached to a CPRI-sponsored project at National Institute of Technology Calicut. Its research focus is the development of AI-powered diagnostic methods for three-phase power transformers using Sweep Frequency Response Analysis, abbreviated as SFRA. The Electrical Engineering Department will host the work, while the Office of Research and Consultancy handles the engagement. This is a project appointment for nine months, so applicants should consider the stated contract period when deciding whether the opportunity suits their research and career plans.

Eligibility: Essential and Desirable Qualifications

The qualification conditions distinguish the required academic background from an additional desirable qualification. Applicants should read both entries together and describe their degree and GATE/NET credentials accurately:

• Essential qualification: B.Tech in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, together with a valid GATE/NET score.
• Desirable qualification: M.Tech in Electrical Engineering with GATE/NET qualification. This is listed as desirable, whereas the B.Tech and valid-score condition is listed as essential.
• Age condition: The stated figure is 35 years, under an entry labelled “Age Limit (optional)”. The supplied information does not give an age-calculation date or an age-relaxation rule.
• Institute’s discretion: NIT Calicut reserves the right to relax qualification and experience requirements for applicants with exceptional credentials. This provision leaves the decision with the institute and does not establish an automatic exemption.

As general application guidance, clearly distinguish your completed qualifications from any additional academic credentials in the CV. The desirable M.Tech entry should not be treated as a replacement for the essential qualification. Likewise, the optional wording attached to the age entry does not provide a definite individual eligibility decision.

How to Submit the NIT Calicut JRF Application

Submit the application by email to hodeed@nitc.ac.in, with a copy to ashiqmuhammed@nitc.ac.in, by 11 November 2026. The application consists of the annexed registration form, a recent CV and supporting academic and experience documents. Prepare the submission as follows:

3. Attach soft copies of mark sheets and certificates supporting the academic qualifications and experience claimed in your application.

Application Documents and Interview NOC

• Recent CV presenting your academic background and experience.
• Digital copies of relevant mark sheets and qualification or experience certificates.
• Employer’s No Objection Certificate at the interview, if you are already employed in government or any other organisation.

These checks help avoid an incomplete or misdirected submission.

Shortlisting and Offline Interview

The selection process involves shortlisting applications and informing eligible shortlisted candidates by email. Candidates invited to the next stage will attend an offline interview scheduled for 18 November 2026 . The supplied information does not give the interview venue or reporting time. As general guidance, monitor the email account used for your application so that you can act on interview communication.

Candidates already working in government or another organisation must produce an employer’s No Objection Certificate at the interview, along with the listed documents. No TA/DA is payable for attending. Applicants should therefore account for their own interview travel expenses when planning attendance.
