Gurucharan University: 13 Assistant Professor Posts, Two Deadlines

By AssamJobDesk TeamPublished on

You have to apply twice for the 13 Assistant Professor posts in eight subjects and the one Controller of Examinations post at Gurucharan University, Silchar. The online form closes at 5:00 PM on 21 November 2026. A printed copy of that form, with your documents, then has to reach the Registrar’s office by 28 November.

Only five of the 13 teaching seats are open to everyone: one in Commerce and four in Physics. Seven are reserved for SC, ST or OBC/MOBC candidates, and one Statistics seat is for a person with a disability. A general candidate in Bengali, Sanskrit or Zoology has nothing to apply for this round.

Eight Subjects, Four of the Seats in Physics

All 13 are on Level 10 pay, ₹57,700 to ₹1,82,400. Gurucharan College became a state university under Assam Act No. LVII of 2023, so Assam’s reservation rules apply. Caste certificates have to be in the Assam government format. OBC and MOBC candidates must upload a non-creamy layer certificate for the current year, which our NCL certificate guide walks through. The disability quota needs 40% or more, certified by an Assam government authority.

55% in Your Master’s, Plus NET or a PhD

You need a master’s in the subject with at least 55% (or the equivalent grade), and NET from UGC or CSIR, or SLET/SET. A PhD awarded under the UGC regulations of 2009 or 2016 replaces NET.

If you registered for your PhD before 11 July 2009, the exemption has five conditions. The degree was in regular mode, two external examiners evaluated the thesis, and the viva was open. You published two papers from the work, one in a refereed journal, and presented two at conferences backed by UGC, ICSSR, CSIR or a similar body. The Registrar or Dean of your university has to certify all of this.

The notice gives no age limit for Assistant Professor. The fee is ₹1,500, or ₹750 for SC and ST candidates, and it isn’t refunded.

Controller of Examinations: 15 Years’ Experience, Upper Age 55

This post pays ₹1,44,200 to ₹2,18,200 at Academic Level 14, with a maximum age of 55 as on 1 October 2026. It needs a master’s with 55% plus one of these:

  • 15 years as an Assistant Professor at Academic Level 11 or above, or 8 years at Level 12 or above, with experience in educational administration
  • comparable experience in a research establishment or higher education institution
  • 15 years in administration, 8 of them as Deputy Registrar or equivalent

Working knowledge of computers and networking is mandatory. The fee is ₹2,000, or ₹1,000 for SC and ST candidates.

FAQs on Gurucharan University Recruitment

Will there be a written test or only an interview?

The notice doesn’t say. It mentions both only in passing, when it says no travel allowance is paid. A screening committee checks every application first.

Checked against Gurucharan University Advertisement No. 02/2026 (Ref. No. 102/66/2026/I/795, dated 28 October 2026) and both Samarth application portals on 30 October 2026.
