GBPUAT Faculty Recruitment 2026: 45 Backlog Teaching Vacancies at Pantnagar for SC, ST and OBC
Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture & Technology, Pantnagar has released Employment Notice No. A-32/2026 for 45 backlog teaching posts. These are Associate Professor and Assistant Professor positions across six colleges — Agriculture, Veterinary & Animal Sciences, Technology, Basic Sciences & Humanities, Community Science and Fisheries. Understand one thing before anything else: this is a backlog advertisement, so every single seat is reserved for SC, ST and OBC candidates. The entry pay reaches ₹1,31,400 a month, which makes this one of the strongest Uttarakhand government jobs of the year.
There is no online form here. Your filled application must travel by Speed Post or Registered Post and reach the University by 5:00 PM on 21 October 2026. If you had applied against the earlier notice A-28/2025, that advertisement now stands cancelled and a fresh application is compulsory. This guide covers the college-wise vacancy split, the qualification for each level, the fee, the exact address your envelope must reach, and the conditions that quietly reject applications every year. Keep GovtJobsAlert.in open while you fill the form.
What are the Key Highlights of GBPUAT Faculty Recruitment 2026?
GBPUAT Pantnagar is India’s first agricultural university and runs teaching, research and extension work across several campuses and Krishi Vigyan Kendras. This notice fills only the backlog of reserved seats that stayed empty in earlier cycles, which is why the vacancy table looks different from a normal faculty advertisement.

GBPUAT Faculty Vacancy Details 2026: College-wise and Category-wise Breakdown

What is the Eligibility for GBPUAT Faculty Recruitment 2026?
Reservation in this recruitment is given only to permanent residents of Uttarakhand. The notification states that SC, ST and OBC candidates of other states are considered under the Unreserved category — and, as the table above shows, this advertisement carries no Unreserved seat. So read that line together with your domicile certificate before you spend money on the Demand Draft.
GBPUAT Faculty Educational Qualification 2026
| Post Group | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Associate Professor (Agriculture, Community Science, Basic Sciences & Humanities, Fisheries, and Sl. No. 24-25 of Technology) | Good academic record, a Ph.D. in the concerned, allied or relevant discipline, a Master’s degree with at least 55% marks or equivalent grade, and 8 years of teaching or research experience equivalent to Assistant Professor, with at least seven publications in peer-reviewed, NAAS or UGC-listed journals and a research score of 75 as per Annexure-II, Table-2 |

A Ph.D. awarded under UGC Regulations 2009 or 2016 exempts you from NET, subject to the conditions given in the notice |

| Marks relaxation — Assistant Professor only | A further 5% relaxation, from 55% to 50%, for Ph.D. degree holders who obtained their Master’s degree before 19 September 1991 |
Your qualification and experience are counted as on 21 October 2026, not on the day you post the form. The notification prescribes no minimum or maximum age, but it asks for age proof and applies the University’s Statutes and Service Rules, so do not assume there is no bar in teaching and faculty government jobs. The list of concerned, allied and relevant disciplines is given in Annexure-V of the notice, so match your degree against it rather than assuming your subject counts.
What is the Salary for GBPUAT Associate and Assistant Professor 2026?
The University follows the academic pay levels of the 7th Pay Commission as adopted by the state, and the notification prints the entry pay for both levels.
| Post | Academic Level | Entry Pay |
|---|---|---|
| Associate Professor | Level 13A | ₹1,31,400 |
| Assistant Professor | Level 10 | ₹57,700 |
Associate Professor starts at ₹1,31,400 and Assistant Professor at ₹57,700 as rationalized entry pay; the notice prints no allowance figures.
Retirement benefits are given as per the Uttarakhand Government orders adopted by the University, amended from time to time. Remember that you can be posted at any campus, research centre or Krishi Vigyan Kendra of the University as per its requirement, so treat Pantnagar as the base rather than a guarantee.
What is the Selection Process for GBPUAT Faculty Recruitment 2026?
| Stage | Detail |
|---|---|
| Screening and shortlisting | Where applications are large in number, a Screening Committee shortlists on eligibility, qualification, experience and publications, and its decision is final |
| Merit list and shortlisting ratio | The scrutiny committee scores Annexure-II Table-2 (Associate Professor) or Annexure-IV Table-3A (Assistant Professor) and prepares a merit list; 10 candidates are shortlisted for one post, plus 5 more for each additional post |
| Interview (Step II) | Maximum 20 marks — final selection is based only on the marks obtained in the interview |
| Written or qualifying examination | The University may hold one for shortlisting purposes |
| Presentation, written test or interview | The process may include a presentation, a written test, an interview, or any combination of these |
| Document verification | Original certificates must be produced at the time of the interview |
For Associate Professor, the Academic/Research Score in Annexure-II, Table-2 decides who is called for interview. For every Assistant Professor post, not only Sl. No. 33-35 of the College of Technology, the self-assessed score in Annexure-IV, Table 3A does the same. In both cases the final selection rests on the interview alone. Fill those score sheets honestly and completely — for applicants in engineering government jobs, that self-assessment sheet is the whole shortlisting decision.
