Work Culture & Environment
Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.
The College of Agriculture at Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT), established in 1962 in Bhubaneswar, is one of eastern India's foremost agricultural higher education institutions. Guest Faculty members teach undergraduate B.Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture and postgraduate M.Sc. (Ag.) coursework modules, manage practical field and laboratory sessions, participate in examination duties, and guide student practicals. The campus houses extensive experimental research plots, agrometeorological observatories, and bio-control laboratories.
Posting & Transfer Policy
Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.
Temporary engagement for the academic year 2026-27 on a lecture/class basis, valid for one year.

Place of posting is College of Agriculture, OUAT Campus, Bhubaneswar - 751003.
Career & Promotion Ladder
