The opening paragraph of the notice also mentions a “Physical Training Instructor”, but the vacancy table lists that seat as Contractual Assistant Professor (Physical Education). Apply against the post name given in the table. Also note that the number of posts may vary at the discretion of the Associate Dean.
Each post has its own requirement. Find your row and match it exactly.
| Post | Essential Qualification |
|---|---|
| Asst. Professor (Food Technology) | M.Tech. (Food Technology) with NET / SET OR Ph.D. in Relevant Discipline |
| Asst. Professor (Food Business / Market Management) | MBA (Food Business / Market Management) with M.Tech. (Food Technology) with NET / SET OR Ph.D. in Relevant Discipline |
| Asst. Professor (Physical Education) | M.P.Ed. with NET / SET OR Ph.D. in Relevant Discipline |
| Assistant Librarian | M.Lib. with NET / SET OR Ph.D. in Relevant Discipline |
| CHB – Mathematics (Deficiency Course) | M.Sc. (Mathematics) with NET / SET / SLET or Ph.D. in Relevant Discipline |

| CHB – Engineering Mathematics-II | M.Sc. (Mathematics) with NET / SET / SLET or Ph.D. in Relevant Discipline |
For every post, preference will be given to candidates with relevant experience and higher qualification. Experience is not listed as essential, so freshers with the right post-graduate degree can still apply. If you have taught before or hold a Ph.D., mention it clearly in the proforma, because the notice gives preference to both.
One helpful note for CHB posts only: if no candidate with the essential qualification (or equivalent) is available, the committee will relax the educational qualification for Clock Hour Basis Teachers. This relaxation applies only in that case, and it does not apply to the contractual Assistant Professor or Assistant Librarian posts.
The notice does not state any age limit or age relaxation for these posts. Check the proforma on the university website before you fill it, in case it asks for age details.
The pay is a fixed consolidated amount, not a pay level.
| Post | Pay |
|---|---|
| Assistant Professor (all three disciplines) | Consolidated ₹45,000 per month |
| Assistant Librarian | Consolidated ₹25,000 per month |
| Clock Hour Basis Teacher – Theory | ₹1,000 per 1-hour lecture |
| Clock Hour Basis Teacher – Practical | ₹2,000 per 2-hour practical |
Being consolidated, this is the full monthly figure stated in the notice. The notice mentions no separate allowances.
A CHB teacher is paid only for the hours actually taught, so monthly earnings depend on the timetable the college gives you. If you need a steady income, the full-time contractual posts are the safer choice. If you already work nearby or are doing a Ph.D., a CHB post is a good way to build college teaching experience.
