Service Conditions and Caveats

• Existing employment: If you are in service, apply through the proper channel. The notice allows an advance copy to avoid delays, while employer clearance remains necessary.
• Travel costs: You must bear your own costs for attending at Bhubaneswar. The university does not promise reimbursement for this recruitment.
• University discretion: OUAT may change the number of posts, leave advertised positions unfilled, or cancel the interview or recruitment process if circumstances call for it.
