Keshav Mahavidyalaya (University of Delhi) Principal Recruitment 2026

This role is ideal for highly experienced and accomplished academicians with a strong research background and significant administrative leadership potential. Candidates must hold a Ph.D. degree and possess at least 15 years of teaching/research experience as a Professor or Associate Professor. A proven track record of research publications (minimum 10 in UGC Care List/SCOPUS) and a high research score (110+) are crucial. This position requires an individual dedicated to the mission of a Delhi University constituent college, capable of leading a publicly funded institution.

Individuals without a Ph.D. degree, or those with less than 15 years of experience at Professor/Associate Professor level in higher education, should not apply. Lack of adequate research publications or the specified research score will disqualify applicants. Candidates seeking a role with a large number of vacancies might find this unsuitable, as it is for a single Principal position. The selection process is rigorous, emphasizing academic merit and adherence to UGC regulations.

As Principal of Keshav Mahavidyalaya, a college fully funded by the Government of NCT of Delhi and affiliated with the prestigious University of Delhi, this position offers significant institutional reputation and influence. The role comes with the high academic pay level (Level 14) of the 7th CPC. While the principalship has a five-year tenure (extendable), the incumbent also holds a permanent academic position (Professor) in the institution, ensuring long-term career stability and growth within the higher education sector.
