SU Vice Chancellor Recruitment 2026

SU Vice Chancellor Recruitment 2026: Overview

Sambalpur University (SU) in Sambalpur, Odisha, is the institution covered by this Vice-Chancellor appointment notice from the state Higher Education Department. This is a fixed-tenure university leadership appointment, with an application format that brings together your academic record, administrative work and vision for the university. The distinctive submission requirement is that HIMS, email and a physical application are all compulsory.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Tenure: The appointment runs for four years from taking charge, subject to the retirement-age cap specified in the notice. The term can therefore end before the full four years.
• Multiple submissions: If you send more than one application, the department will consider only your last valid digital submission on HIMS, based on its timestamp. Earlier submissions will be rejected.
• Late arrival: Completing the digital part does not protect a late postal application. Each required submission must reach the department within its own deadline.
• Travel costs: The department will not pay travel or daily allowances for attending the interview. You need to make your own arrangements.
• Accuracy: The application includes declarations about the information you provide. False or incorrect details can lead to rejection or, after appointment, termination under the applicable rules.

Application Submission Notes

• Required channels: Complete the prescribed application through HIMS, email its scanned PDF to hedsec.od@od.gov.in, and send the same signed application by India Post Speed Post. Missing any required channel can lead to rejection.
• Subject and envelope: Use “Application for the post of Vice-Chancellor of Sambalpur University” as the email subject and write it clearly on the envelope.
• Postal address: Office of Commissioner Cum Secretary, Higher Education Department, Lok Seva Bhawan, Sachivalaya Marg, Bhubaneswar-751001. Courier delivery is not accepted.
