Selection Process

CUSB will shortlist candidates based on their academic score as per UGC Regulations 2018 (Table 3A in Annexure-II). If a department receives a very large number of applications, the university may also conduct a written test or adopt a marking system to narrow down the shortlist. Shortlisted candidates will then be called for an interview, which may include a seminar or lecture presentation to assess teaching ability. The final selection rests entirely on interview performance.

Departments Hiring

Vacancies span a wide range of disciplines. The School of Agriculture and Development is hiring across Agriculture, Plant Pathology, Soil Science, Entomology, Agronomy, Horticulture, Agricultural Economics, Livestock Production Management, Farm Machinery, and Genetics. Other schools with openings include Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science, Physical and Chemical Sciences, Earth, Biological and Environmental Sciences, Social Sciences and Policy, Human Sciences, Law and Governance, Languages and Literature, Media, Arts and Aesthetics, Management, and Education.

Each department has specific reservation categories (UR, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, PwBD) for each post. You will find the complete department-wise and category-wise breakdown in the official notification.
