Service Conditions and Caveats

• Residence: if appointed, you must live within the university's territorial jurisdiction under the Visva-Bharati Act.
• Pension arrangements: appointments normally fall under the National Pension System. Placement under the university's General Provident Fund-cum-Gratuity scheme needs specific permission under the applicable past-service rules.
• Past service: if you already work in a government-funded organization, following the employer-clearance requirements matters for recognition of your previous service. The university also requires the relevant release and pay records when you join.
• Travel expenses: VB will not reimburse travel or daily expenses for attending a test or interview.
• Applicants abroad: the university may permit an audiovisual interview if you are called while living overseas. This needs the university's permission.
• Recruitment discretion: VB may leave a position unfilled or withdraw an advertised post. Canvassing is prohibited, and incomplete applications can be rejected without further correspondence.
• Appointment checks: false information can lead to cancellation or termination. An unsatisfactory police-verification report can also affect your appointment.
• Updates: the university will post any additions, deletions or corrections on its website. Check those notices while your application is under consideration.

Application Submission Notes

If you work for a government, autonomous body, university or another government-funded organization, apply through the proper channel. Alternatively, provide a formal employer no-objection certificate at the interview if called.
