Work Culture & Environment

Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

Psychotherapists operate under the Centre for Psychotherapy and Clinical Research (CPCR) in the School of Human Studies at AUD's Kashmere Gate campus. The clinical team provides individual psychotherapeutic support, conducts psychometric wellness screenings for incoming undergraduate/postgraduate cohorts, leads suicide prevention interventions (following UMMEED and MANODARPAN guidelines), and trains faculty/staff on psychological first-aid. The environment is academically progressive, psychoanalytically informed, and clinically rigorous.

Posting & Transfer Policy

Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.

Stationed at the Centre for Psychotherapy and Clinical Research (CPCR), Dr. B.R. Ambedkar University Delhi (Kashmere Gate Campus, Delhi - 110006). The engagement is on a visiting basis as per the institutional requirements of CPCR.

Career & Promotion Ladder

Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.

The engagement is purely on a visiting/session basis (paid per full-day visit up to ₹85,000/month) and does not confer any right to regularization or absorption as regular faculty/staff. However, clinical and supervisory experience at AUD CPCR is prestigious across Indian clinical psychology circles and provides high-value credentials for permanent clinical psychologist, assistant professor, or university counsellor appointments.

Avoid common application rejection triggers, photo/signature guidelines, and certificate validity windows.

  • Dual Submission Mandatory: Candidates must submit their application online at aud.delhi.gov.in AND dispatch a hard copy with self-attested documents and pagination to the Kashmere Gate campus. Submitting only online without hard copy dispatch will lead to rejection.
