GURUGRAM: Gurugram University listed a new notice on Sunday, November 1, 2026, inviting candidates for three adjunct faculty positions in its Department of Education. Advertisement AFT-03/2026 gives the interview venue as the university's Sector 87 campus, making the announcement relevant to education specialists and experienced professionals considering a teaching assignment.
The walk-in interview is scheduled for Thursday, November 12, at 10 am IST. Candidates must report at least half an hour earlier, so the reporting time is 9.30 am IST. The advertisement says late arrivals will not be allowed to appear. The university's homepage dates the listing November 1; applicants should read the attached advertisement for the appointment terms.
What candidates need to bring
The official six-page advertisement asks eligible candidates to attend with a completed application form, original documents and degrees, and one set of self-attested copies. It refers applicants to qualifications prescribed by the University Grants Commission and the attached eligibility material.
The university identifies education, educational administration, educational psychology, teacher education, curriculum development, research and education policy among the relevant areas of expertise. Its invitation extends to serving and retired practitioners, academicians, scholars, policymakers and other distinguished professionals. Applicants need to assess their experience against the detailed conditions, rather than treating the three vacancies as an unrestricted invitation to all graduates.
- Department: Education.
- Advertised positions: three.
- Interview: November 12, 2026, at 10 am IST.
- Required reporting: by 9.30 am IST.
- Venue: Gurugram University, Sector 87.
Tenure and payment terms
The detailed conditions describe appointments lasting from one semester, or six months, to six semesters, or three years. The university says the arrangement is intended to bring professional experience and outside perspectives into teaching, research and related academic activities. The advertised number of positions may increase or decrease according to university requirements.
Payment is specified by academic equivalence. For a professor or equivalent, the notice lists Rs 4,000 per day with a monthly ceiling of Rs 80,000. For an associate professor or equivalent, it lists Rs 3,000 per day and a ceiling of Rs 60,000. For an assistant professor or equivalent, the figures are Rs 2,000 per day and Rs 40,000 per month. These are the advertisement's daily rates and ceilings, which applicants should distinguish from an assurance of the maximum monthly amount.
The notice discourages engagement beyond age 65 except for people with an exceptionally strong academic or professional background. It also says no travel or daily allowance will be paid for attending the walk-in interview. Candidates travelling to Sector 87 should therefore account for the interview journey themselves.
What the assignment involves
The attached guidelines describe contributions to courses related to the selected person's expertise, student counselling, course development and improvements in teaching methods. They also cover training, research support, academic advice and collaboration with outside organisations. Selection requires consideration by the appropriate committee and approval by the competent authority; appearing for the interview does not itself establish an appointment.
The advertisement is separate from the university's earlier notice for posts on deputation. Readers following other university processes can also consult the earlier report on the pharmacy registration deadline. For wider school education context, the desk has reported on the Gurugram meeting on support for government schools.
The selection guidelines require the department to consider a candidate's suitability for its academic activities before a committee examines the recommendation. Appointment then depends on approval by the competent authority. The attached framework also caps adjunct faculty at 25 per cent of sanctioned faculty strength. These conditions explain why professional distinction and relevance to the department matter alongside the documents brought to the interview.
Applicants should use the advertisement number when checking subsequent notices on the university's official website. The Sector 87 interview venue is stated explicitly even though the advertisement's institutional address refers to Sector 51. That distinction matters when planning where to report.
