What is the Eligibility for BHU Centre for Vedic Science Recruitment 2026?
| Post | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Associate Professor (VVK01) | Ph.D. in Veda, plus Master’s with at least 55% marks. Needs 8 years of teaching or research experience, 7 publications and a research score of 75 (Appendix II, Table 2). Knowledge of Sanskrit |
| Assistant Professor (VVK02) | Master’s with at least 55% in Veda, or a Master’s where at least 4 papers of Veda were studied. Plus UGC/CSIR NET (or SLET/SET) or a Ph.D. as per the notification |
| Assistant Professor (VVK03) | Same, in Vyakaran / Paniniya Bhasha Vijnan / Sanskrit Bhasha Vijnan, or at least 4 papers of Vyakaran |
| Assistant Professor (VVK04) | Same, in Jyotish Ganit/Siddhant Jyotish, or at least 4 papers of it |
| Assistant Librarian (VVK05) | Master’s in Library, Information or Documentation Science with 55%, knowledge of library computerisation, plus NET/SLET/SET or a Ph.D. |
| Computer Programmer (VVK06) | B.E./B.Tech in Computer Science or Electronics with 55% and 5 years of programming experience, or M.E./M.Tech / M.Sc. Computer Science / MCA with 55% and 3 years |
For Assistant Professor, a foreign Ph.D. from a university ranked in the world top 500 (QS, THE or ARWU) is also accepted as a second route. The 55% can also be an equivalent grade, and for Computer Programmer and Assistant Librarian too. NET is not needed for a Master’s subject where no NET is held. Candidates with a Ph.D. under the UGC Regulations 2009 or 2016 are exempt from NET, as the notification explains. Every post lists desirable qualifications (not compulsory), but Sanskrit is essential for Associate Professor. A post graduate degree alone is not enough for teaching posts.
