Essential Educational Qualifications and Category Relaxations

To qualify for the Assistant Professor posts, applicants must hold a Master’s degree in the relevant subject (Commerce, Economics, or Mathematics) with a minimum of 55 percent marks—or an equivalent grade point scale—from an Indian or recognized foreign university. A relaxation of 5 percent (lowering the requirement to 50 percent marks) is granted to candidates belonging to SC, ST, OBC (NCL), and PwD categories, as well as to Ph.D. holders who completed their Master's degrees prior to September 19, 1991.

UGC NET Exemption Rules and Eligibility Criteria

While candidates are generally required to possess a National Eligibility Test (NET) certificate conducted by the UGC or CSIR, specific exemptions apply under UGC guidelines. Candidates holding a regular Ph.D. degree evaluated by at least two external examiners, backed by open viva results and published research papers, are exempt from NET. Additionally, candidates possessing a Ph.D. from institutions listed among the top 500 universities globally (under QS, THE, or ARWU rankings) or those specializing in academic subjects where the NET exam is not conducted are also exempt from this requirement.

Screening Process, Selection Criteria, and Salary Structure

Applications received by the deadline will undergo a rigorous screening process evaluated on a 100-point academic scale to shortlist candidates for personal interviews. This scale awards points based on graduation (up to 21 points), post-graduation (up to 25 points), M.Phil. or equivalent degrees (up to 7 points), Ph.D. qualifications (up to 25 points), and NET with JRF or standard NET certifications (up to 10 and 8 points respectively).
