Service Conditions and Caveats

• Temporary engagement: The appointment is for the current semester or until regular faculty join the department, whichever happens first.
• Guest-faculty status: The engagement does not carry regular-service benefits such as allowances, medical reimbursement, vacation pay, pension or gratuity.
• Academic norms: Eligibility follows UGC Regulations 2018 or the latest AICTE rules, depending on the department. Architecture carries its own degree, marks and professional-experience alternatives in the notice.
• Shortlisting: Meeting the basic academic requirement does not guarantee an interview call; NEHU may limit the number called by applying its shortlisting criteria.
• Interview arrangements: The concerned department will notify the date and time. External candidates may be interviewed online, but the mode is decided by the university.
• Travel costs: NEHU will not pay TA or DA for attending the interview.
• Campus choice: Check the campus against your department before applying, because the notice allocates subjects separately between Shillong and Tura.
