Course Mentor

This role is ideal for experienced academic professionals holding a Postgraduate degree (minimum 55% marks) along with NET qualification or a Ph.D., who possess strong teaching aptitude, research experience, and specific expertise in developing and delivering online educational programs. Candidates should be proficient in ICT-enabled teaching practices and familiar with e-content production. Natives of Kerala or those with necessary equivalency certificates from Mahatma Gandhi University for degrees obtained outside Kerala are particularly suited, especially if applying under community reservation.

Candidates who lack the mandatory postgraduate degree with 55% marks, NET/Ph.D qualification, or relevant experience in online education program delivery should not apply. Those from outside Kerala may face significant challenges due to the explicit mention that 'Natives of states other than Kerala need not apply for the post notified exclusively under the community reservation quota.' The contract-based nature and limited single vacancy might also be a dealbreaker for candidates seeking permanent employment or higher volume recruitment drives.

Mahatma Gandhi University is a well-established state university in Kerala, offering a reputable platform for academic engagement. This contract position as a Course Mentor for the MBA Online Programme provides specialized experience in the growing field of digital education. While the role is contract-based with an initial tenure of one year (extendable), it offers an opportunity to contribute to a prominent state institution. Long-term growth may involve transitioning to more permanent academic roles within the university or leveraging this specialized experience in other educational technology ventures.
