Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

Central University of Tamil Nadu (CUTN), established by an Act of Parliament in 2009, is situated on a sprawling 500-acre residential campus in Neelakudi, Thiruvarur, Tamil Nadu. The Centre for Skill Development (CSD) conducts specialized B.Vocational degree and diploma programs aimed at aligning academic training with National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF) industry competencies. Guest faculty handle lecture delivery, practical studio workshops in digital media, field visits in tourism/heritage management, and curriculum evaluations in an active central university setting.

The appointment is purely temporary and contractual on an hourly paid basis for a period of one semester / six months during the academic year 2026-27. Remuneration is capped at ₹500/- per lecture up to a monthly maximum of ₹25,000/- (₹15,000/- for English). The engagement carries no benefits of regular allowances, pension, gratuity, or leave, and does not confer any entitlement to permanent regularization.
