Delhi Technological University (DTU) has 219 Assistant Professor posts to fill across 24 departments, and 17 of them are identified for candidates with benchmark disabilities (PwBD). The notice lists no written exam: DTU first scores your application on a points system, then checks your documents and holds a presentation and an interview. You can apply online from 23.10.2026 until 07.12.2026, 5:00 PM.
*The EWS, SC and ST concession applies only if the post is reserved for your category and you apply against that reserved post. Pay online only. The fee is not refunded and cannot be moved to another recruitment. If you apply to more than one discipline, you pay the fee for each application.

The vacancies are provisional, and DTU can change them as the university needs.
# The Geospatial Science and Geospatial Technology posts are borrowed from other disciplines for now. DTU will regularise the people placed against them only after it applies for, and gets, approval to create these posts.
In the PwBD column, (a), (b), (c) and (d&e) are the types of benchmark disability. The notification keeps the table showing which type suits which discipline in Annexure-I.
Eligibility Criteria
Criterion
Detail
Educational Qualification and Experience
As per the Recruitment Rules for each discipline. The notice points to Annexure-II for them and does not print them.
Citizenship
You must be a citizen of India.
Age Limit
There is no upper age limit. The age of retirement follows DTU’s norms.
Date for checking eligibility
Qualification, age, experience and other conditions are checked as on 07.12.2026 (5:00 PM).
5% marks relaxation
For Applied Mathematics, Applied Chemistry, Applied Physics, Engineering Physics (non-Engineering candidates), Humanities (Economics), Humanities (English), Economics (USME), Geospatial Science and Biotechnology (non-Engineering candidates): SC, ST, OBC (NCL-Delhi) and PwBD candidates get 5% off the 55% minimum at bachelor’s and master’s level, as per the UGC Gazette Notification dated 18.07.2018. No grace marks count.
Master’s before 19.09.1991
Ph.D. holders who got their master’s degree before 19.09.1991 also get a 5% relaxation, from 55% to 50%.
Degrees treated as equal
B.Sc. (Engineering), B.E., B.Tech. and B.S. (four years or more) are equal. M.Sc. (Engineering), M.E., M.Tech. and M.S. are equal. AMIE/IETE in the relevant branches also counts.
Degrees from abroad
You need an equivalence or recognition certificate from the Association of Indian Universities (AIU), the body that certifies foreign degrees. A foreign Ph.D. must be AIU-recognised.
Class or division not awarded
Minimum 60% marks in aggregate counts as first class.
Application Restriction
One online application per post. For a second discipline, file a separate application and pay the fee again.
Already employed
If you work in a Government department, autonomous body or university under the Centre or a State, apply through proper channel.
Category Certificate Rules
Category
Rule
OBC
Only OBC (NCL-Delhi) candidates get the OBC benefit. OBC candidates from outside Delhi and those in the creamy layer must apply as UR. You need an OBC certificate issued by the Delhi Revenue Department, or one from outside Delhi that is based on a Delhi OBC certificate of your father, sibling or paternal uncle who lived in Delhi before 08.09.1993. The Non-Creamy Layer certificate must be issued on or after 01.04.2026 and not later than 07.12.2026.
EWS
You need the Income and Asset Certificate for 2026-27 (based on 2025-26 income), as per the Delhi Government circular dated 28.05.2019.
SC / ST / PwBD
Your certificate must be issued by the competent authority on or before 07.12.2026. Only candidates with the applicable benchmark disability count as PwBD.
PwBD reservation
It is a horizontal reservation, so it runs across the SC, ST, OBC, EWS and unreserved posts. A PwBD post that stays empty is carried forward to a later advertisement.
Own-merit candidates
A reserved-category candidate who is selected on the same standard as UR candidates is counted against an unreserved post.
In short: there is no age cut-off for this post, so the Recruitment Rules for your discipline decide whether you are eligible. Read them in Annexure-II of the official notification before you pay, because the fee is never refunded.
Who Should Apply
The first screening is scored out of 100: 30 points for a Ph.D., up to 60 for your pre-Ph.D. degree marks and 10 for a qualifying test such as UGC/CSIR-NET (JRF), GATE or CEED. If you have none of these, you get no points for them.
The biggest openings are Computer Science and Engineering (36 posts), Civil Engineering and Production Engineering (20 each) and Mechanical Engineering (18).
You apply to each discipline separately and pay the fee each time. If you fit two departments, add up the fee before you apply twice.
Eight posts, Geospatial Science (2) and Geospatial Technology (6), are borrowed from other disciplines for now. DTU says it will regularise them only after the posts are created and sanctioned, so read that note before you choose them.
You must come in person at every stage, because DTU takes your biometrics at document verification, presentation and interview. It pays no travel allowance for any of them.
Selection Process
Stage
Details
1. Online application
Fill in your category, marks, Ph.D., test score and Table-I points on dtu.ac.in. A computer processes what you enter, so any mistake is yours to carry.
2. Initial screening (100 points)
Ph.D.: 30 points. Pre-Ph.D. degree: up to 60 points, worked out as 35 + 0.5 × (your % marks − 50). Qualifying test (UGC/CSIR-NET JRF, GATE or CEED, in your field): 10 points.
3. Consideration zone list
DTU publishes a provisional list of applicants who get detailed checking. It holds up to 1.2 times the number to be shortlisted, plus anyone tied with the last name.
4. Send your documents
People on that list post a signed printout of the form and self-attested copies of all documents, in one sealed envelope, to The Recruitment Cell, Room No. 818, 8th Floor, AB-3 Block, DTU, Shahbad Daulatpur, Bawana Road, Delhi – 110042, by the date shown on the website.
5. Provisional shortlist
Made on the Table-II score. At most (4 + 8X) candidates per discipline and category, where X is the number of posts advertised. If a reserved-category cut-off is higher than the UR cut-off, reserved candidates scoring at or above the UR cut-off are also shortlisted. Those left out cannot go further.
6. Document and Point Mark Verification
Bring the originals and a set of self-attested copies. DTU checks every point you claimed. A point with no document scores zero, and a missing document cancels your candidature.
7. Presentation
A teaching presentation before the committee, on a date and time DTU announces. It tests your teaching aptitude and ability.
8. Interview
The Selection Committee tests your domain knowledge and interview performance.
9. Final selection
Based on academic record, experience and research, the presentation, domain knowledge and the interview. The Selection Committee can recommend extra increments for exceptional merit.
In short: a computer ranks all applicants on degree marks, Ph.D. and test score. Only the top group in each discipline and category goes on to documents, a presentation and an interview. The notice does not say how many marks the presentation and the interview carry.

How to Apply
Open the DTU website, www.dtu.ac.in, and go to the recruitment link for Advertisement No. 04/2026.
Choose your discipline and fill in the online form: category, marks, Ph.D., test scores and the Table-I points. Use an e-mail address and mobile number that work, because DTU writes only to those.
Upload a recent, clear colour photograph on a plain white or off-white background, full face, front view, eyes open, and your signature. Blurred ones are rejected.
Pay the application fee online and keep the proof of payment.
Submit the form once, then take a printout. No change is allowed after you submit. For another discipline, repeat all the steps with a new form.
Note: DTU accepts online applications only. Do not post anything now. Posted papers are needed later, and only if your name is in the consideration zone list.
Photograph or signature rejected by the upload form?
DTU wants a recent colour photo on a plain white or off-white background, full face and front view, and rejects blurred photos or signatures. The notice gives no pixel or KB size, so resize both to the limit the form shows.

File only one application for a post. If DTU finds more than one from you for the same post, it may reject all of them.
