ANGRAU Teaching Associate Recruitment 2026 - 1 Post

Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University (ANGRAU) has released a walk-in-interview notice to engage 1 Teaching Associate in the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding at S.V. Agricultural College, Tirupati. The post is purely temporary and contractual, valid for 11 months from the date of joining, or until the regular post is filled, whichever is earlier. There is no separate application form to submit online — you register and appear directly at the walk-in venue with your certificates. This role suits Ph.D. holders or Master's degree holders with teaching or research experience who want to gain academic experience at a state agricultural university. The Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding at S.V. Agricultural College trains undergraduate and postgraduate students in crop improvement, and a Teaching Associate here typically supports both classroom teaching and ongoing field research.

Who Can Apply?

You can qualify for this Teaching Associate post through either of two academic routes, but both routes need relevant experience and a publication record:

• Option A: A Ph.D. in the relevant subject (Genetics and Plant Breeding or a closely related discipline).
• Option B: A Master's Degree in the relevant subject, along with a Bachelor's Degree (4 or 5 years) with first division or equivalent overall grade point average.
• Experience (required under both options): At least 3 years of teaching or research experience, evidenced through Fellowship, Associateship, Training, or similar engagements.
• Publication (required under both options): You must have published at least one research paper in a Science Citation Index (SCI) journal or a NAAS-rated journal (rating above 4.0).
• NET Requirement: If your postgraduate degree is in Basic Sciences with a 3-year Bachelor's and 2-year Master's degree, you must also hold a valid NET qualification.

This walk-in interview follows ANGRAU's standard Guidelines for engaging Teaching Associates/Assistants, issued by the Office of the Dean of Agriculture in August 2026, so the same eligibility pattern applies across the university's constituent colleges.

Salary

• You will get Rs. 61,000 per month plus applicable HRA if you hold a Master's Degree.
• You will get Rs. 67,000 per month plus applicable HRA if you hold a Ph.D. Degree.
• HRA is paid as per existing state government rates applicable to your posting location and is subject to change as per government orders.
• Your pay is fixed at the time of joining based on which qualification (Master's or Ph.D.) you hold on the date of the interview — there is no separate pay revision within the 11-month tenure.

Selection Process

Selection is done through a single walk-in interview — there is no separate written exam:

1. Document Scrutiny: The selection committee checks your filled-in application, original certificates, publications, and experience proof at the venue, along with one photocopy set of each.

Note: The decision of the selection committee on your qualification and eligibility for this post is final and binding in all respects. The Associate Dean also has the right to cancel or postpone the interview on the scheduled date due to unavoidable circumstances, so it is a good idea to check with the college office before you travel.
