| Management – Master’s | MBA or PGDBM (a post-graduate diploma in business management), or a related Master’s, with at least 60% marks |
| Management – NET or PhD | A PhD, or NET (Management). NET is the National Eligibility Test, a UGC exam for teaching jobs. UGC and AICTE rules apply |
| Social Work – Master’s | Master’s with 55% or equal grade in a relevant or allied subject, from an Indian or accredited foreign university |
| Social Work – NET or PhD | Cleared NET (UGC or CSIR), or SLET/SET (a state-level version of NET), or hold a PhD that exempts you from NET |
| Education – Master’s (i) | Postgraduate degree with 55% in your specialisation. The notice names Pedagogy of Physical Science and Mathematics |
| Education – Master’s (ii) | A Master’s in Education (M.Ed or M.A. Education) with at least 55% marks |
| Education – NET or PhD | Same NET, SLET/SET or PhD rules as Social Work |
| Education – preferable | Pedagogy of Physical Science and Mathematics |
| PhD instead of NET (Social Work, Education) | A PhD under UGC PhD Regulations 2009 or 2016, or a foreign PhD from a top-500 ranked university (QS, THE or ARWU) |
| PhD registered before 11.07.2009 | Regular-mode PhD, thesis checked by two external examiners, and an open viva held |
| Same older PhD route – papers | Two papers published (one refereed), two presented at UGC, ICSSR or CSIR events. Registrar or Dean must certify |
| Desirable (all posts) | Comfort with digital tools, an LMS (Learning Management System, used for online classes) and generative AI tools |
| Urdu (compulsory, all posts) | Urdu is the university’s medium of instruction, so every teaching post needs it (Section 4 of the University Act) |
| How you meet the Urdu rule | Urdu-medium school or madarsa, or Urdu as a subject in Class 10, Class 12 (+2) or at degree level, or a UG or PG in Urdu |
| Urdu – boards and universities | Urdu must be from a recognised Central, State, Madrasa, NIOS or State Open School board, or a UGC-recognised university |
| Retired teachers | Retired Professors, Associate and Assistant Professors below 65 years, from government-recognised institutions |
| Age Limit | Not specified in notification, apart from the 65-year limit for retired teachers |
In short, every candidate needs the Master’s marks for the subject, NET or a PhD that the notice accepts, and proof of Urdu. The marks bar is higher for Management (60%) than for Social Work and Education (55%).
The notice lists both Education degrees, (i) and (ii), without the word “or” between them. It does not say whether you need both, so check with the university before you travel.
Who Should Apply
- This is a short-term, purely temporary contract, not a regular teaching post, and the pay is capped at Rs 50,000 a month.
- Retired teachers below 65 years from government-recognised institutions can apply in all three subjects.
- Urdu is compulsory for every post, so you must meet the Urdu rule even if your subject record is strong.
- Selected candidates can be posted at the Hyderabad headquarters or at any MANUU institution in the country.
- There is no online option and no second date. The notice also says you attend at your own expense, so plan the trip to Hyderabad before you decide.
Selection Process
| Stage | Details |
|---|---|
| 1. Reporting and document check | Report at your subject’s time. Your originals are checked and one set of attested photocopies is collected |
| 2. Walk-in interview | You are interviewed on the day. The notice gives no marks, weightage or format for the interview |
| 3. Final selection | Appointments are made as per the Selection Committee meetings. The university may increase, reduce or not fill the posts |
In short, there is no written test. You are selected on the day itself, so be at the venue on time with every document. The notice does not say how the interview is scored.
Salary and Benefits
| Component | Detail |
|---|---|

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Check the reporting time for your own subject. Management and Education start at 9:30 am, but Social Work reports at 12:30 pm.
- Do not go without the filled and signed Registration Form. It is on the last page of the notice and you must bring it yourself.
- Bring one attested set of photocopies along with the originals. The notice asks for both.
- Do not assume any PhD or any SLET/SET score works. The notice says SLET/SET counts only in the state that held it, and a PhD must meet the UGC rules.
- Carry proof of Urdu. It is compulsory for every post, whatever your subject.
- Do not expect travel costs to be paid. The notice says you attend at your own expense.
