About This Job
Apply for HDV Driver at KAU Tavanur. Class 7 pass with heavy vehicle licence needed. Pay: Rs. 770/day. Walk-in: 15 Sep 2026.
KAU HDV Driver Recruitment 2026: Overview
Kerala Agricultural University (KAU) is engaging an HDV Driver at the Kelappaji College of Agricultural Engineering and Food Technology in Tavanur, Malappuram. The college needs a driver for a short daily-wage assignment, and the selection is designed to check whether you can handle a heavy vehicle safely in practical conditions. This is a campus-specific temporary engagement, not a regular university appointment.
The role supports a college where agricultural engineering and food technology teaching depend on the movement of people, equipment and institutional material. Your driving must be safe, dependable and suitable for university operations, including routine trips arranged by the college. The notification gives importance to hands-on ability, so holding a licence alone is not enough; you should be ready to demonstrate control of a heavy vehicle during the selection.
Previous driving work can help the college judge how well you understand vehicle care, trip discipline and responsibility for an institutional vehicle. Experience from a government, semi-government or private establishment receives preference when it is supported by a proper certificate. This is a preference rather than a stated minimum service period.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Short tenure: The appointment is limited to 59 days on a daily-wage basis and does not create a right to regular employment at KAU.
- Practical ability: Appointment depends on your performance in the practical driving test conducted by the university.
- Experience preference: Certified work as a heavy vehicle driver in a government, semi-government or private organisation will receive preference.
- Campus assignment: The work is attached to KCAEFT, Tavanur, so you should be able to report and perform duty at that campus.
- Age relaxation: Relaxation is available under applicable government orders; the notice does not reproduce category-wise limits.
- Document check: Your original records must support the details you give at the walk-in selection.
Application Submission Notes
Attend the walk-in at Kelappaji College of Agricultural Engineering and Food Technology, Tavanur. The notice asks you to report at 10:00 AM with the originals that prove your qualification, age, driving licence, identity and any experience you want considered, along with copies.
There is no online application form for this engagement. Plan your travel so you reach the college before registration and practical-test arrangements begin, and keep your licence and certificates organised for quick checking at the venue.
Responsibilities
- Drive heavy vehicles safely for authorised college duties
- Check the vehicle before trips and report faults promptly
