KKHSOU Professor IT and Controller of Exams 2026

KKHSOU Professor and Controller of Examinations Recruitment 2026: Overview

Krishna Kanta Handiqui State Open University (KKHSOU), Assam's state open university at Resham Nagar, Khanapara in Guwahati, has released Advertisement R4/2026 for two senior positions: a Professor in Information Technology on the teaching side and a Controller of Examinations on the administrative side.

Both posts sit at the top of the university's academic pay structure, so this drive is meant for experienced academics and administrators, not early-career candidates. A background in distance education counts in your favour for both roles, which makes sense for a university that teaches mostly through open and distance learning.

Posts and Disciplines

• Professor in Information Technology: a teaching and research post for an established scholar with a Ph.D. in IT or an allied field, a solid publication record and a history of guiding doctoral students. An outstanding professional from industry or another institution, with a Ph.D. and a proven contribution to the field, can also be considered. This post is reserved for OBC candidates.
• Controller of Examinations: the officer who runs the university's examination system. It suits senior teachers with educational administration experience, people from research or higher-education institutions with comparable experience, or administrators who have served as Deputy Registrar or in an equivalent post. Experience of conducting public exams, especially at an open university, earns extra weightage.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Service rules: Your service will follow the KKHSOU Act, the KKHSOU Employees Service Conditions, Conduct and Appeal Rules, 2024 and the relevant Government of Assam rules.
• In-service candidates: If you already have a job, apply through proper channel and get a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your competent authority.
• Interview at your own cost: Only shortlisted candidates are called for the interview, and you pay your own travel costs.
• Canvassing: Any form of canvassing leads to disqualification.
• University's discretion: KKHSOU may decide not to fill a post, or cancel the advertisement without giving reasons.
