University of Calicut (CDOE) MBA Assistant Professor Recruitment 2026 - 4 Posts

The University of Calicut, through its Centre for Distance and Online Education (CDOE), has released Notification No. 126526/CDOE-C-ASST-1/2026/Admn dated 6 August 2026 to prepare a panel of contract Assistant Professors for its MBA program. CDOE runs distance and online postgraduate courses for working professionals and other learners, so the selected faculty will support teaching, evaluation, and academic work for MBA students studying in this mode. The panel covers two specialisation groups — Human Resource Management (HRM) and all other MBA specialisations such as Marketing, Finance, and Operations — so candidates from any management background can walk in. There is no written exam for this recruitment — selection happens entirely through the interview, which makes this a quicker route into a university teaching job compared to most regular faculty recruitments that involve multi-stage screening.

Vacancy Breakdown by Specialisation

• MBA - Human Resource Management (HRM): 2 posts
• MBA - Other Specialisations (Marketing, Finance, Operations, etc.): 2 posts

Both groups follow the same qualification and pay structure — only your area of specialisation decides which group you are interviewed under.

Who Can Apply?

• Qualification: You need a postgraduate degree with at least 55% aggregate marks in the relevant subject, along with NET or a Ph.D, as per UGC norms for Assistant Professors.
• Applicable to Both Groups: This qualification requirement is the same whether you are interviewed under the HRM specialisation or any other MBA specialisation.
• Equivalency Certificate: If you completed your qualifying exam from a university outside Kerala, you must bring an equivalency certificate obtained from the University of Calicut at the time of interview.
• Reservation benefits apply only to communities listed under the Kerala State and Subordinate Service Rules (KS&SSR), and appointments will follow communal rotation.

Age Limit

• You should be below 50 years of age as on 1 January 2026 to be eligible.

Salary

• Selected candidates will get a consolidated pay of Rs. 37,000 per month.
• This is a fixed monthly amount for the contract term and does not include separate DA/HRA allowances.
• The pay stays the same for both the HRM and other-specialisation posts.

Selection Process (No Written Exam)

There is no written test for this recruitment. Selection happens in a single stage:

1. Walk-in Interview and Document Verification: You must report at the venue with original certificates for age, qualification, experience, and community proof (Non-creamy layer certificate for OBC candidates). A panel of Assistant Professors will be prepared based on your interview performance, and candidates will be offered engagement against the notified vacancies as per merit and communal rotation.

The University reserves the right to cancel the proceedings, in full or in part, without assigning any reason, and being placed on this panel does not create any future claim for appointment.

How to Apply

1. Report at the Administrative Block, University of Calicut by 10:00 AM on 17 August 2026.
2. The interview will begin at 10:30 AM in the Syndicate Conference Hall.
3. Carry your original certificates for age, qualification, experience, and community proof.
4. If your qualifying degree is from outside Kerala, also carry your equivalency certificate from the University of Calicut.
