Applications for seven Assistant Professor posts in the Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP) at Rabindranath Thakur Vishwavidyalaya, Hojai, have to reach the university by registered post on or before 10 November 2026. The notice accepts no other mode, and the university says it isn’t responsible for postal delays. The date is for arrival, not posting, so send yours this week or early next.
Rabindranath Thakur Vishwavidyalaya: 7 ITEP Posts, Forms by Post Only
Pay is the odd part. The university runs its ITEP as a self-financed course, and the advertisement says the salary is negotiable, without giving a figure. The application form sits apart from the advertisement (No. 006/2026, dated 13 October) on rtuassam.ac.in. Look in the Important Forms box at the top of the Recruitment page for “Application form for ITEP (Teaching)”, a three-page form that asks for your marks from HSLC up, your NET or SET year, and whether you are ST(P), ST(H), OBC/MOBC or another category. Pragjyotishpur University in Guwahati is filling 41 ITEP posts with a similar qualification bar until 2 November, covered in our Pragjyotishpur ITEP post. More openings are on the latest jobs page.
One Post Each in Five Subjects, Two in Educational Studies
| Subject | Posts |
|---|---|
| Physics | 1 |
| Chemistry | 1 |
| Zoology | 1 |
| History | 1 |
| Geography | 1 |
| Educational Studies | 2 |
| Total | 7 |
The university says it will follow the reservation policy but gives no category split, and it keeps the right to change the number of posts or cancel the recruitment.
55% in the PG and the B.Ed, Plus NET or a PhD
Physics, Chemistry, Zoology, History and Geography (the notice calls these Assistant Professor in Pedagogy) need all three:
- a postgraduate degree in the subject with at least 55% or an equivalent grade
- a B.Ed with at least 55% or an equivalent grade
- NET, SLET or SET, or a PhD in Education or in the subject
An M.Ed, or a PhD in Education, counts in your favour. A PG with NET but no B.Ed won’t do.
Educational Studies needs an M.Ed with at least 55% or an equivalent grade, and NET, SLET or SET or a PhD in Education. A master’s in Psychology, Philosophy, Sociology or an allied subject is desirable.
No Fee, Age Limit or Interview Date in the Notice
The advertisement mentions no application fee and no upper age limit, and it gives no interview date. It does say there will be an interview and that no travel allowance is paid for attending. If the salary decides it for you, call the Registrar’s office before you post the form.

FAQs on the Rabindranath Thakur Vishwavidyalaya ITEP Posts
Can I apply for two subjects?
The notice doesn’t say. If you qualify for both, send two envelopes, each with its own form and marked with its own post and department.
Can I hand the form in at the university?
