Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology (SVPUAT) Teaching Recruitment 2026 - 126 Posts

SVPUAT, Meerut has released three advertisements (Advt No. V, VI and VII of 2026) inviting online applications for 126 teaching posts of Professor, Associate Professor and Assistant Professor. Selection is based on the ICAR/UGC Academic Performance Indicator (API) Score Card system, the standard method used for agricultural university faculty recruitment in India, rather than a written entrance exam. These posts are spread across the university's constituent colleges covering veterinary science, horticulture, agricultural engineering, biotechnology and food technology, with recruitment happening at all three faculty levels at the same time. This means SVPUAT is building up its permanent teaching strength across multiple disciplines in one large recruitment drive, which is uncommon and makes this a good opportunity whether you are a fresh Ph.D. holder looking for your first Assistant Professor post or a senior academic aiming for a Professor role. Both fresh Ph.D. holders and experienced academicians can apply for the post that matches their qualification and experience level.

SVPUAT is a state agricultural university located in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, and runs teaching, research and extension programs through its constituent colleges in fields such as agriculture, veterinary science, horticulture, agricultural engineering and biotechnology. Along with these 126 teaching posts, the university has also released separate advertisements for backlog teaching posts, self-finance college teaching posts, and non-teaching roles like Farm Manager and Programme Assistant — so if you don't fit the eligibility criteria for this particular drive, it is worth checking the other advertisements listed on the SVPUAT recruitment portal as well.
