AUD Professor and Associate Professor Vacancy 2026: Eligibility, Pay and Apply Process
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar University Delhi (AUD) has invited online applications for 8 regular faculty posts: 2 Professor and 6 Associate Professor vacancies across six schools. If you hold a Ph.D., have years of teaching or research behind you and want a stable academic career in the capital, this is a notification to read slowly. The posts carry UGC pay scales under the 7th Pay Commission, and the university is set up by an Act of the Delhi legislature, so it is a Delhi government job in the state-university category.
The notification gives no calendar date for the last day. The online window closes three weeks after the advertisement appears in Employment News, and the hard copy must reach the university four weeks after that publication. Work out your own dates once the issue date is known, and keep checking the university website. Read the full article before you start, and keep GovtJobsAlert.in open for updates.

What Is the Eligibility for AUD Professor and Associate Professor 2026?
Qualifications follow the UGC Regulations 2018, plus NCTE rules for teacher education and AICTE rules for management. All eligibility is counted as on the closing date of application.
| Post | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Professor, Route A | Ph.D. in the concerned, allied or relevant discipline, at least 10 research publications in peer-reviewed or UGC-listed journals, a research score of 120, and at least 10 years of teaching or research experience with evidence of having guided a doctoral candidate |

The Law Professor post prefers interdisciplinary legal research. The Law Associate Professor post prefers a Ph.D. in a Social Science with a focus on Law and a law degree. The ITEP post prefers a Diploma or Degree in Educational Administration or Leadership. The Law posts also name allied areas such as constitutional law, criminal law and human rights law.

A 5% relaxation in the Bachelor’s and Master’s marks applies to SC, ST, OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) and differently abled candidates. Ph.D. holders who got their Master’s before 19 September 1991 get a 5% relaxation, from 55% to 50%. If your Ph.D. is from a foreign university, you must enclose an Equivalence Certificate from the Association of Indian Universities, or the application will be rejected.

What Is the Selection Process for AUD Faculty Recruitment 2026?
| Stage | Detail |
|---|---|
| Scrutiny | A screening committee prepares lists of eligible and not-eligible candidates |
| Eligibility lists | Both lists, with reasons, go on the university website; not-eligible candidates can send a grievance with proof by a stated deadline |
| Shortlisting | On academic record, publications, experience and research score |
| Interview | The process may be a presentation, seminar, interview or a mix of these |
For Professor and Associate Professor, the academic score is used only to shortlist for interview, and selection rests only on interview performance. Meeting the minimum qualification does not entitle you to an interview. If many apply, the university may call only those with qualifications or experience above the minimum. It may also skip the interview if there are not enough candidates. Candidates abroad can be interviewed by video if they ask in advance. Interview dates reach shortlisted candidates by email and on the website.
