NLU Meghalaya Law Faculty Permanent Recruitment 2026

NLU Meghalaya Law Faculty Recruitment 2026: Overview

National Law University of Meghalaya (NLU Meghalaya) is recruiting Assistant Professors and an Associate Professor in Law for permanent faculty appointments in Shillong. The notice leaves the law specialisation open, rather than limiting the drive to a named branch of law. Its key condition is the Meghalaya residence restriction, which applies to this permanent recruitment.

Posts and Disciplines

• Assistant Professor in Law: This is the assistant-professor grade within the university’s permanent law faculty. The advertised specialisation is open.
• Associate Professor in Law: This is a separate, more senior faculty grade in the same discipline. The university also keeps the specialisation open for this appointment.

• Current employment: If you already work elsewhere, apply through the proper channel. The university also allows an advance copy, with an alternative employer-clearance arrangement for shortlisted applicants.
