Eligibility Criteria
Criterion
Detail
Graduation
A degree from a recognised university with a good academic record. IMU’s Selection Committee decides whether your UG degree is relevant, and its decision is final.
Postgraduate degree
MBA in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Transportation Management or International Business (or an equivalent PG degree), OR M.Com in the same fields (or an equivalent PG degree). You need at least 55% marks, from a recognised Indian university or an accredited foreign university.
PhD or eligibility test
Any one of these: a PhD in the relevant field; NET (the National Eligibility Test held by UGC, a national test for teaching jobs); or SLET/SET (the State Level Eligibility Test, the state version of NET).
Teaching experience
At least 2 years of teaching in UG and/or PG programmes in the relevant subjects (essential).
2 years are added to the upper age limit “in case of deserving candidate”. The notice does not say who counts as deserving.
Application Format
You must use the prescribed format. Applications in any other format are rejected without being considered.
In short, you need a PG degree with 55% marks, a PhD or a NET/SLET/SET pass, and 2 years of teaching. The upper age limit is 60, or 62 if IMU treats you as a deserving candidate.
Not sure whether you are within the age limit?
Enter your date of birth and the cut-off date 04.11.2026 to see whether you are under the 60-year limit. If you want to check the extra 2 years the notice allows for a deserving candidate, add 2 years of relaxation.
This is a contract job, not a regular post. It starts for 6 months and is renewed every 6 months only if IMU still needs the post and your work is satisfactory.
You will teach BBA and MBA students. The notice also lists project guidance, exam-related work, helping the placement cell, running management events and mentoring students.
An MBA or M.Com alone is not enough. The notice also asks for a PhD or a NET or SLET/SET pass.
You need both a hard copy and an email copy. The notice says an application without the hard copy will not be considered.
No travel or daily allowance is paid for the interview, and you must carry your original certificates, so count your own travel cost.
Selection Process
Stage
Details
Step 1: Send your papers
Post the hard copy and email the soft copy, with photocopies of all certificates, on or before 05.12.2026.
Step 2: Shortlisting
IMU may shortlist eligible candidates further, based on qualifications, relevant experience and other criteria. Only the highest-ranked candidates are called, so being eligible does not guarantee an interview.
Step 3: Interview
The mode of selection is an interview. The notice gives no marks or weightage for it. IMU tells shortlisted candidates the interview date by email.
Step 4: Document check
Bring all original documents and certificates you submitted, plus one set of photocopies, for physical verification at the interview.
In short, there is no written exam. IMU shortlists on your papers and then interviews the best-ranked candidates, and the notice gives no marks for either step.
