Vacancy Breakdown

• Post Graduate Department of Law / Law: 2 Assistant Professor (Guest Faculty) posts

Who Can Apply?

• Educational Qualification: You need qualifications as per UGC Guidelines 2018 for Assistant Professor level teaching.
• Preferred Qualification: NET and PhD qualified candidates will get preference during consideration.
• Fallback Condition: If PhD/NET candidates are not available, candidates with a Post-Graduate degree and good academic record may be considered.

Engagement Conditions: The faculty engagement is reviewed from time to time and depends on satisfactory performance. Guest Faculty can get 10 days leave in a year, but statutory deductions such as income tax or TDS will be handled as per rules.

Important note: The notice clearly says this arrangement is not a regular, contractual or ad-hoc appointment. It is only a temporary academic engagement for the Law department during the stated period.

Duties to Expect: The engaged faculty may teach courses, conduct examinations, support research guidance and take part in academic or research committees. The notice also says faculty will not hold administrative or financial responsibilities, so the main work is academic teaching and related support.
