Dibrugarh University has advertised 14 teaching posts across five departments — Professor, Associate Professor and Assistant Professor positions spanning Anthropology, Applied Geology, Assamese, Sociology, Statistics, Commerce, Economics and History. Applications close on 5 October 2026, and unlike most Assam recruitment this site covers, they go in on paper, not through an online portal.
Dibrugarh University Faculty Recruitment 2026: 14 Teaching Posts
Dibrugarh University Faculty Recruitment 2026: Overview
This is a fairly wide call — 14 posts is a lot for one advertisement, and it spans three ranks of teaching post rather than one. If you're an academic tracking Assam job openings, it's worth reading past the headline number, because eligibility and pay differ sharply between a Professor post and an Assistant Professor post, and the department you're qualified for narrows things further still.
Dibrugarh University Vacancy Breakdown
Of the 14 posts, 5 are Professor, 7 are Associate Professor and 2 are Assistant Professor. By department, the Professor posts are one each in Anthropology, Applied Geology, Assamese, Sociology and Statistics. The Assistant Professor posts are both in Commerce. The Associate Professor posts are one each in Applied Geology, Assamese, Commerce, Economics and History, which accounts for 5 of the 7 — the notice does not name a department against the remaining 2 Associate Professor posts, so check the official advertisement directly if you're applying at that rank and don't see your subject listed above.
Dibrugarh University Pay Scale
Pay follows the standard UGC academic pay levels rather than anything Dibrugarh University has set on its own:
- Professor: Rs. 1,44,200 – Rs. 2,18,200
- Associate Professor: Rs. 1,31,400 – Rs. 2,17,100
- Assistant Professor: Rs. 57,700 – Rs. 1,82,400
These are pay-matrix bands, not fixed salaries — where you land within the range depends on your existing experience and how it's counted at the time of appointment.
Eligibility Criteria for Dibrugarh University Faculty Posts
The advertisement doesn't spell out separate qualification lines for each post the way some university notices do. Instead, it points to the UGC/AICTE Regulations for appointment of teaching and other academic staff in universities and colleges, as updated through 18 July 2018, and expects candidates to meet whatever that regulation requires for the rank and subject they're applying against. In practice, that means a Ph.D. in the relevant subject plus NET/SET qualification (or an equivalent exemption) for Assistant Professor, and a research and teaching record scaled up accordingly for Associate Professor and Professor. If you're unsure whether your qualifications clear the bar for a specific post, the UGC regulation itself — not this summary — is the document to check line by line.
Application Fee
Rs. 2,000, payable by bank draft drawn in favour of the Registrar, Dibrugarh University, on Punjab National Bank's Dibrugarh University branch. There's no online payment option mentioned — the draft goes in with the physical application.
How to Apply for Dibrugarh University Faculty Recruitment
This one is offline. Applicants need to send in a completed application along with eight photocopies to:
The Registrar, Dibrugarh University, Dibrugarh – 786004, Assam
The application form itself is available as a download from the university's site — get that, fill it in, and post it well before 5 October 2026 rather than relying on a last-day courier. Since this is a postal submission with no digital receipt, keep your own proof of dispatch (a courier tracking number or registered-post slip) in case there's ever a dispute about whether it arrived on time.
If you need to convert scanned certificates or research publications into a single PDF to keep alongside your photocopies, the compress PDF tool can merge and shrink files quickly before printing.
Dibrugarh University Faculty Recruitment: Important Dates
The application window opened on 10 September 2026 and closes on 5 October 2026 — just under a month, which is generous by the standards of most Assam recruitment notices, but there's no cushion built in for a delayed bank draft or a slow post office.
