SKUAST Jammu Counsellor Recruitment 2026: Overview

Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Jammu (SKUAST-Jammu) is engaging a Counsellor on contract for its Health Centre. The Directorate of Students Welfare is handling this recruitment at the university's Main Campus, Chatha. This is a visiting engagement during office hours, with attendance twice a week.

Service Conditions and Caveats

  • Initial engagement: The contract starts with a six-month term. The university may extend it for a further six months if your performance is satisfactory and it still needs the service.
  • Regular employment: This contract does not give you a claim to regularisation, absorption or appointment against a regular university post. Keep that condition in mind when considering the role.
  • Leaving the role: You must give one month's notice if you decide to leave the engagement. The notice links this requirement specifically to relinquishing the contractual appointment.
  • University discretion: The university may withdraw the advertised position at any time. An application therefore does not guarantee that the engagement will go ahead.
  • Interview communication: The university will communicate interview details by email. Make sure the address you enter in the prescribed form is one you can check regularly.
  • Travel costs: The university will not pay travelling or daily allowance for attending the interview.
  • Accuracy of declarations: The application form asks you to certify that your information and supporting evidence are genuine. False information may lead to action by the university and termination without notice.

Application Submission Notes

Your application must reach the Office of the Director, Students Welfare, SKUAST-Jammu, Main Campus, Chatha through Speed Post or Registered Post only. The notice makes receipt at the office the deciding point and says late applications will not be accepted.

Use the prescribed application format included with the notice. The in-person interview venue is the Office of the Director, Students Welfare, Main Campus, Chatha; the university will communicate the interview schedule separately.
