Vacancy Details

Seats for SC, ST, OBC and EWS candidates will be given as per Government of India rules, depending on which candidates apply. The notice does not split the 5 posts by category, and it asks candidates of every category to apply.

Eligibility Criteria

Who Should Apply

• You get one session, not a career. The university appoints you for one academic session or until further order, whichever comes first, and it can extend you for another session if your teaching, conduct and the department’s need allow.
• The pay equals the starting basic pay of an Assistant Professor (Level 10), but it is one fixed amount with no allowances.
• The work is real teaching. You can be given classes, exam duty, evaluation and other academic work like a regular teacher, but nothing that involves legal, financial or disciplinary powers.
• Selection is by shortlisting and an interaction, and the notice mentions no written test. Your degrees, publications and teaching experience carry the weight.
• Retired professors can apply too, up to age 70.

Who should skip this

• You want a permanent job. The notice says this engagement gives no right to a regular post, and the application form makes you declare that you will not claim one later in any court.
• You need regular-teacher benefits. Allowances, pension, gratuity and leave like regular teachers get are not given.
• You cannot get an NOC in time. If you already work somewhere and cannot show an NOC at the interview, you may not be interviewed.
• You would travel a long way for the interview. The university pays no TA/DA (travel or daily allowance) and gives no accommodation.

Selection Process

In short: the notice describes shortlisting from your application and then an interaction. It mentions no written test and no marks, so make sure your form shows your qualifications, publications and teaching experience clearly.

Salary and Benefits

In plain terms, Rs 57,700 a month is the whole amount. Nothing like DA (dearness allowance) or HRA (house rent allowance) is added on top.

How to Apply

1. Download the application form from the university website, www.bbau.ac.in. The same form is on the last pages of the notice PDF.
2. Fill in the form, paste a passport-size photograph and sign it. Use a separate form for each department.
3. Scan the signed form together with self-attested copies of all your supporting documents, and save everything as one single PDF file.
4. Email that PDF to dean.academic@bbau.ac.in after 10:00 AM on 10.11.2026 and before 11:59 PM on 17.11.2026.
5. Keep a copy of the sent email and check your inbox often, because interview details come by registered email only.

Note: Applications sent by hand, post, courier or any other electronic mode are rejected, and so are late or incomplete ones.

Documents Required

The notice does not give a file size limit for the PDF or a size for the photograph.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Sending the form by hand, post, courier or any way other than the prescribed email. Such applications are rejected.
• Applying at the last minute. Mails received after 11:59 PM on 17.11.2026, or found incomplete or unsigned, are rejected.
• Putting two departments in one application. Send a separate application for each department or subject.
• Forgetting the NOC if you already work somewhere. Without it you may not be interviewed.
• Hiding facts, sending false papers or copied publications. The university can cancel your candidature at any stage, even after you join.
• The declaration at the end of the form uses the words “Resource Person”, while the advertisement says Contractual Faculty. Fill the form exactly as printed.
