About This Job

Apply for 1 Teaching Assistant post in PAU. Soil Science postgraduates eligible. Salary: Rs 35,000-40,000. Last date: 1 September 2026.

PAU Teaching Assistant Recruitment 2026: Overview

Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) is filling a Teaching Assistant in Soil Science role at its College of Agriculture in Ballowal Saunkhri, S.B.S. Nagar district. The engagement supports the university scheme Facilitating effective functioning at PAU, Misc.08 (PC-4715) and is contractual rather than a regular faculty appointment.

The role sits within an agriculture-focused campus, making it suitable for someone comfortable explaining Soil Science concepts in a practical teaching setting. Your academic background should connect plant sciences or agricultural disciplines with advanced study in Soil Science, while the university's Punjabi-language condition reflects the local teaching and campus environment.

This is a discipline-specific campus position, not a general Teaching Assistant panel covering unrelated subjects. The selected person will support Soil Science learning within the college's agriculture setting, where classroom concepts connect closely with practical and field-based study. That focus makes subject clarity and organised academic support especially important.

PAU has placed this recruitment through the Dean of the College of Agriculture at Ballowal Saunkhri. The notice combines an offline application with a later in-person document screening, so you should plan for both postal delivery and a visit to the university. The specific-page notice is the authoritative source for changes to the screening arrangements.

Service Conditions and Caveats

  • Contract status: This is a contractual Teaching Assistant engagement under the named university scheme, not a permanent teaching post.
  • Language condition: The notice requires Punjabi studied at Matric level through the Punjab School Education Board or another recognised board.
  • Degree route: A relevant Ph.D. can satisfy the notice's stated exception where the applicant does not hold the corresponding master's degree.
  • Application completeness: Forms reaching the office late or without the prescribed bank draft will not be considered.
  • Screening attendance: Bring your original testimonials for the in-person document check; the university will not send a separate call.
  • Travel costs: PAU will not provide TA or DA for attending the screening.

Application Submission Notes

Send the plain-paper application with attested testimonials and the prescribed bank draft to Dean, PAU College of Agriculture, Ballowal Saunkhri, P.O. Takarla, Tehsil Balachaur 144521, District S.B.S. Nagar, Punjab. The bank draft must be in favour of Comptroller, PAU, Ludhiana and payable at Ludhiana.

The document screening is scheduled in the Committee Room of the Dean, College of Agriculture, PAU, Ludhiana. Keep your originals ready and continue checking the specific PAU vacancy page, because no individual screening letter is promised.
