VARANASI: Sampurnanand Sanskrit University listed a notice for nine teaching and academic leadership posts at Shastrarth Mahavidyalaya in Dashashwamedh on Thursday, October 29, 2026. The affiliated college is seeking applications for a principal, lecturers, assistant lecturers and a Hindi teacher through registered post, with qualifications and supporting papers specified in the attached advertisement.
For applicants in Dashashwamedh and elsewhere in Varanasi, the immediate task is to match their subject and qualification to the correct post, prepare two application sets and arrange the prescribed bank draft. The college address in the document is D 17/58, Dashashwamedh, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, 221001. These are college vacancies listed on the university website.
The deadline needs particular care. The advertisement allows 21 days from its publication and requires applications to arrive within the prescribed period. Applicants should confirm the original publication date and resulting closing date before dispatch. The October 29 date on the university's careers listing should not be treated as an automatic fresh 21-day application window.
Which posts are listed
The college's forwarding letter and advertisement are available together through the university careers page. The letter identifies the recruitment as a regular selection process. The advertisement says all listed posts are unreserved and that pay will follow Uttar Pradesh government rules. It does not give a monthly salary figure.
| Post | Subject | Vacancies |
|---|---|---|
| Principal | Specified traditional subject or equivalent | 1 |
| Lecturer | Darshan and Jyotish | 1 each |
| Assistant lecturer | Vyakarana | 2 |
| Assistant lecturer | Sahitya and Purana | 1 each |
| Assistant lecturer | Modern Hindi | 1 |
| Teacher | Modern Hindi | 1 |
For the principal's post, the advertisement specifies a postgraduate Acharya qualification in the relevant traditional subject or an equivalent subject, with at least second class. It also requires five years of teaching experience at postgraduate level and a minimum age of 30. Traditional qualifications and Vidyavaridhi receive preference under the wording of the notice.
The two lecturer vacancies are separate subject positions, one in Darshan and one in Jyotish. Each requires at least a second-class postgraduate degree in the relevant subject. The advertisement gives preference to a traditional Acharya qualification. Applicants should therefore check the subject requirement against their own postgraduate record before preparing their papers.
Among the four assistant lecturer posts in traditional subjects, two are for Vyakarana, one for Sahitya and one for Purana. The specified academic requirement is at least a second-class postgraduate qualification in the relevant subject, with preference for a traditional Acharya degree. Modern Hindi has two separately designated vacancies: an assistant lecturer and a teacher. Both entries specify at least a second-class postgraduate qualification in Hindi.
What applicants should do
The attached college advertisement asks for qualification details and self-attested marksheets and certificates in two copies. It also calls for Aadhaar details, a passport-size photograph and contact information, including an email address. Preparing the two sets together will help applicants check that the supporting papers match.
An application fee of Rs 1,000 is prescribed through a bank draft payable to the Manager, Shastrarth Mahavidyalaya, Dashashwamedh, Varanasi. The stated submission route is registered post. The notice does not offer an online application link, so applicants should follow the postal instructions in the document rather than assume that the university careers listing itself accepts applications.
Incomplete or defective applications, and applications received outside the permitted period, will not be accepted under the advertisement. Before posting, applicants should compare the post designation, subject, qualification papers, draft and delivery address with the original document. The notice does not announce an interview date or a separate online selection timetable.
For separate education background, readers can consult the earlier language and music admissions update, the report on IIT (BHU)'s equal opportunity cell and the BHU legal training programme. Those concern different university activities and do not change this college's application conditions.
