What is the Eligibility for Bharathiar University Recruitment 2026?

Knowledge of Tamil, enough to handle official correspondence and draft reports, is required for the four posts that have instruction sheets. It is not mentioned for the PRO.
Rules that can decide your case:
- SC/ST get a 5% relaxation at Master’s level (55% to 50%). Grade ‘B’ on the UGC 7-point scale (O, A, B, C, D, E, F) counts as 55%.
- Ph.D. holders who passed their Master’s before 19 September 1991 also get the 5% relaxation.
- For the Dean post, the 55% is not insisted on for people already in the University system (Principals, Professors, Associate Professors, Registrars, Deputy Registrars, Librarians and similar). They need at least 50%. People entering from outside, or at entry level posts such as Assistant Professor, need 55%.
- For the Director post, the 55% is not insisted on for existing incumbents of the University system.
