| Nature of Engagement | Contract, initially 6 months, extendable |
| Total Vacancies | 12 |
| Pay | ₹65,000 (PG) / ₹70,000 (Ph.D.) per month, consolidated |

|---|---|---|
| Architecture | Assistant Professor | 12 |
The notification does not give a category-wise split of these 12 posts. It also says the vacancies are likely to increase or decrease as per requirement, at the sole discretion of the institute. So treat 12 as the number today, not as a promise.
You must have a Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture and a Master’s Degree, by either of two routes. In both routes you need First Class or equivalent in either your Bachelor’s or your Master’s degree.
| Route | Master’s Degree Accepted |
|---|---|
| Route 1 | Architecture, Conservation, Landscape Architecture, Urban Design, Building Engineering Management, Master of Design, General Architecture, Environmental Architecture, Interior Design, or any relevant Master’s in the field of Architecture |
| Route 2 | Master’s Degree in Planning (with any specialization) |
Read the two routes slowly before you decide. Route 1 is wide, because it accepts any relevant Master’s in the field of Architecture, so a candidate with a less common specialization should still check the full list in the notification PDF. Route 2 is meant for architects who later did a Master’s in Planning, and any specialization in Planning is accepted. In both routes the Bachelor’s degree must be in Architecture.
If your university does not award a class or division, the notification treats a minimum of 60% marks in aggregate as equal to First Class.
If your degree is from a foreign university, you must produce an Equivalence Certificate from the Association of Indian Universities (AIU), New Delhi.
These are only desirable, so you can still attend without them. They may help you in the interview.
| Desirable Point | Detail |
|---|---|
| Experience | 1 year in teaching, research or industry in a reputed organization |
| PG Specialization | Architectural Conservation, Landscape Architecture, Sustainable Architecture, M.Urban Design, M.Design or General Architecture |
| Publications | Papers presented at conferences or in referred journals |
The notification does not mention any minimum or maximum age limit and does not mention any age relaxation. Please check the official notification before you go, so that you are not surprised at the venue.
The pay is a consolidated remuneration, which means one fixed amount each month.
| Your Highest Degree | Monthly Remuneration |
|---|---|
| P.G. Degree | ₹65,000 |
| Ph.D. Degree | ₹70,000 |
The notification states no other allowance, so do not count on one. The engagement is temporary. It starts for six months and can be extended from time to time depending on requirement and your satisfactory performance. It is a contract role, not a permanent post, and you should plan with that in mind. If you want a longer-term career, you can keep an eye on other post graduate government jobs too.
