Selection Process

RGU will select Guest Faculty candidates through the following stages:

1. Application Screening: Your application and the supporting documents you upload will be scrutinized by the University.
2. Presentation/Demo Lecture: The University may assess your teaching and research aptitude through a presentation, classroom lecture, or discussion, including your ability to use the latest technology in teaching.
3. Interview: Shortlisted candidates will be called for an interview.
4. Document Verification: You must bring all your original documents to the interview for verification — hard copies of the application form need not be submitted separately, but you should carry a printout.

Merely meeting the minimum qualifications does not guarantee that you will be shortlisted for interview — the University may restrict the number of candidates called based on the recommendations of its screening/shortlisting committee. No TA/DA will be paid to candidates for attending the interview, and canvassing in any form will lead to disqualification.
