Who Should Apply
- This is a trainee engagement, not a regular government job. The university says trainees cannot claim absorption, regularisation (being made a permanent employee) or seniority.
- You would be engaged for one year, and the university may extend it by one more year. Two years is the maximum.
- The training is at Fursatganj, Amethi in Uttar Pradesh, but the university can ask you to work from another location. The work week is 6 days.
- Pharmacy applicants must already hold a valid pharmacist registration. Without it, there is no point in applying for that post.
- The notification describes shortlisting and an interview. It gives no exam pattern, so do not plan for a long written paper.
Selection Process
| Stage | Details |
|---|---|
| 1. Online application | Apply on the RGNAU recruitment portal by 06.12.2026. An incomplete application is rejected outright. |
| 2. Shortlisting | If many applications come in, the Screening Committee may add extra criteria to shortlist candidates before the interview. The university chooses its own method. |
| 3. Interview | Shortlisted candidates attend in person or online on the date, time and venue the university fixes. Bring originals and a hard copy of the form. The notification gives no marks or pattern. |
| 4. Call letter and offer | Call letters go by email only and are shown on the website. Selected candidates get an offer of appointment, and the offer is treated as withdrawn if not accepted in time. |
In short: you apply online, the university may shortlist you, and then you attend an interview. The notification does not say how marks are given, so it does not explain how the final choice is made.

- Pharmacy applicants should not apply without a valid Central or State Pharmacy Council registration.
