Mahatma Gandhi University Kerala Recruitment 2026: 3 Course Mentor Vacancies

This role is ideal for experienced postgraduates holding NET/Ph.D qualifications in Political Science, Business Administration, or Economics, who possess a strong background in ICT-enabled teaching and online program delivery. Candidates must be comfortable with a contractual engagement for one year and willing to be based in Kottayam, Kerala. Prior experience in academic publication and a proven track record of teaching in guest/contractual capacities after acquiring minimum qualifications are highly valued.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or those with less than a postgraduate degree with NET/Ph.D are not suitable. Freshers without relevant teaching or online content development experience should not apply. Candidates from outside Kerala seeking positions reserved for specific communities within Kerala will find this a dealbreaker. Those looking for a large-scale recruitment drive or a non-contractual role should also look elsewhere.

Mahatma Gandhi University is a Category 1 Autonomous University, offering a reputable academic environment. While the role is contractual for a specific period, it provides valuable experience in online education within a well-regarded institution. This can be a good stepping stone for academics looking to build their profile in distance learning and contributes to a respected state university's initiatives. The prestige comes from working with an established university, but the contractual nature limits long-term growth prospects within this specific role.
