Who Should Apply
- The notice calls these regular faculty positions filled by direct recruitment, which means open selection from applicants rather than promotion.
- Most departments have only one or two posts, so find your own department in the table first. Paint Technology has the most (4 posts), followed by Plastic Technology (3).
- Many posts are kept for one category only. For example, the Professor post in Oil Technology is for SC. Check that your category matches before you apply.
- Four of the 25 posts are not vacant yet. They open up on dates between 01.12.2026 and 01.08.2027 (see the table above).
- Assistant Workshop Superintendent is an administrative job, not a teaching one. The university’s recruitment page has a separate application portal for non-teaching posts.
How to Apply
- Open the university website, hbtu.ac.in, and go to the Faculty Recruitment 2026 page.
- Read the recruitment rules, instructions and screening criteria given there, because the notice does not repeat them.
- Click the Register link for teaching posts and create your account. The page has a separate link for non-teaching posts, which is the one to try for the administrative post.
- Fill in the online application form and upload all relevant documents with the form itself. The notice says documents must go with the application form only.
- Submit the form before 11:59 pm on 08.12.2026.
Note: The notice accepts applications through the online mode only.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not apply offline. The notice accepts applications through the online mode only.
- Do not plan to send documents later. All relevant documents must be uploaded with the application form only.
- Do not wait for the last evening. The form closes at 11:59 pm on 08.12.2026, and a slow portal on the last day can cost you the chance.
- Write about this recruitment only to recruitment2026@hbtu.ac.in. The notice names no other email address.
- Do not treat the number of posts as fixed. The notice says the university can increase or decrease it, or fill none.
- Apply under the category that matches your certificate, because the posts are reserved category by category.
