Notice that this is a minimum age, not a maximum. The minimum is relaxable for exceptionally qualified candidates. Age relaxation for SC, ST, OBC, Ex-Servicemen and PWD candidates applies as per Government norms, and also for those working at Vidyasagar University. The notification does not name a cut-off date for counting age.
What is the Salary for Vidyasagar University Medical Officer, Assistant Registrar, TPO and Assistant Professor 2026?

| Training and Placement Officer | Consolidated pay as per University norms |

The two substantive posts carry a fixed Revised Pay figure plus allowances. For the contractual posts, the notification does not print an amount, so do not count on any particular figure. Also remember the difference in security: a substantive post may be regularised after the first year, while a contract post is renewed only on performance. If you are leaving a stable job, weigh that carefully.
