OUAT CAET Guest Faculty Recruitment 2026

OUAT CAET Guest Faculty Recruitment 2026: Overview

Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT) is forming a guest-faculty team for the College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology (CAET), Bhubaneswar. The engagement covers core agricultural-engineering subjects and is meant for the academic year rather than a regular university appointment. This is a walk-in opportunity, so your subject fit, academic record and original documents will all matter on the interview day.

Posts and Disciplines

• Processing and Food Engineering: teaching will cover food processing, post-harvest systems and related agricultural-engineering applications.
• Farm Machinery and Power Engineering: this area suits candidates trained in farm machines, power systems and mechanisation for agricultural operations.
• Soil and Water Conservation Engineering: applicants from land and water management, water resources, irrigation or drainage backgrounds can match this subject group.
• Agricultural Structures, Civil and Environmental Engineering: this area combines agricultural structures with process, soil-water or related engineering subjects accepted by the notice.

Post-wise Duties

Processing and Food Engineering

You will teach classes in processing and post-harvest engineering, explain the use of equipment and help students connect engineering principles with agricultural products.

Farm Machinery and Power Engineering

You will cover farm machinery and agricultural power, guide practical learning and help students understand the selection, operation and performance of equipment used on farms.

Soil and Water Conservation Engineering

You will teach topics linked to soil conservation, irrigation, drainage and water management. Practical examples should help students apply design and management ideas to agricultural land and water systems.

Agricultural Structures, Civil and Environmental Engineering

You will support teaching where agricultural structures and civil or environmental engineering meet. The work can include explaining design concepts, structural needs and environmental considerations in agricultural facilities.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Academic-year engagement: the appointment is for the academic year, and OUAT may end it before the year closes.
• No regular claim: guest-faculty service does not create a claim to a regular OUAT appointment.
• Leaving the assignment: a guest faculty member may leave after giving one month's prior notice.
• Panel validity: the empanelment remains valid for one year, allowing the college to use the panel according to teaching need.
• Position changes: OUAT may increase or reduce its requirement with approval, or cancel the interview process.
• Travel: the university will not pay TA or DA for attending the walk-in interview.
• Employer clearance: if you already work elsewhere, bring a No Objection Certificate from your present employer.
