How Are Candidates Selected?

1. Shortlisting of candidates for interview based on academic score as specified in Appendix II (Table 3A) of UGC Regulations, 2018 (which may be higher than the minimum prescribed).
2. Selection based only on performance in the interview.
3. The University may utilise seminar/colloquium/Lecture and/or any other mode as a supplementary method in the selection process.

No written exam is the primary selection method. Call letters will be sent only to short-listed candidates by e-mail.

The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst's Take – Is This Faculty for You?

This is a regular faculty recruitment under UGC norms with clear research-score thresholds (120 for Professor, 75 for Associate Professor). With 25 posts spread across many disciplines, competition will be discipline-specific rather than university-wide. Academic score shortlisting means publication quality and research score directly decide interview calls; a candidate with the minimum publications may still be screened out if the committee sets a higher bar.

Best fit: Candidates who already meet the exact UGC research score and publication counts for their level and hold the subject-specific Master’s/Ph.D. listed in the notice’s tables.

Skip if you lack the required research score or publications, or if your Master’s/Ph.D. is not in the concerned/allied/relevant discipline listed for the post.

Practical tip: Calculate your research score against Appendix II, Table 2 of UGC Regulations, 2018 before applying, and keep the latest 2026 OBC/EWS certificate ready if applying for a reserved post.
