CUSB Recruitment 2026: Professor, Associate Professor, Assistant Professor and Non-Teaching Vacancies at Gaya
The Central University of South Bihar (CUSB) has released two advertisements dated 6 November 2026. Advt 49/2026 fills 25 teaching posts: 2 Professor, 8 Associate Professor and 15 Assistant Professor. Advt 50/2026 fills 6 non-teaching posts. That makes 31 vacancies at a Central University in Gaya, and if you are looking for government jobs in Bihar or a teaching and faculty job, this is worth your time.
Online applications are open from 7 November 2026 and close on 7 December 2026 at 5:00 pm. This notice also carries two withdrawal notices, so read the withdrawn-posts section if you applied to CUSB earlier. Each teaching post needs its own application, so plan your documents before you begin.

- # means you applied earlier under Advt 45/2025 or Advt 47/2025 for this post: apply again with a latest OBC or EWS certificate (valid for 2026), if one applies, but you need not pay the fee again.
- ^ is a lien vacancy. It continues only until the lien period ends, and if the lien holder returns, the selected candidate will be relieved.
- \* If no suitable EWS candidate is found, the post is filled as unreserved, so candidates of other categories may also apply.
Advt 50/2026: Non-Teaching Posts (6)

The notice prints the earlier advertisement as “46/2026” in one place, but the withdrawal notice names it as 46/2025.
Which CUSB Posts Were Withdrawn and How Do You Get a Fee Refund?
Two notices dated 6 November 2026 withdraw some posts “due to administrative reasons”. These posts are not in the 31 vacancies above.

The proforma asks for your name, post, application form number, payment transaction number, amount, date of payment, mobile number and bank details. The Advt 45 notice prints its date as 15.12.2026 in the text, but the proforma and Advt 49 give 15.12.2025.
