Practical service rules, posting locations, transfer policy, and promotion ladder curated from official gazettes.

Work Culture & Environment

Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

Guest faculty members at the College of Fisheries (OUAT), located in Rangailunda, Berhampur, engage in delivering semester coursework, laboratory practicals, and field demonstrations for undergraduate B.F.Sc and postgraduate M.F.Sc students. The campus operates research ponds, fish hatcheries, wet laboratories, and processing units. Faculty members conduct classes as per the university academic calendar, supervise student record evaluations, coordinate mid-term/end-term examinations, and assist with institutional academic activities in close coordination with regular faculty heads.

Posting & Transfer Policy

Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.

The engagement is purely temporary and on a guest faculty basis for the academic year 2026–27. Remuneration is pegged at ₹ 1,200/- per class subject to a monthly ceiling of ₹ 60,000/-. The empanelment remains valid for one year, but the university reserves the right to terminate engagement at any time before the end of the academic year, and faculty members can leave by giving one month's prior notice.

Career & Promotion Ladder

Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.

As a temporary guest faculty appointment, there is no service seniority, promotional hierarchy, or permanent cadre absorption under Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT). However, documented teaching experience and research output at a premier ICAR-accredited state fisheries college significantly strengthen academic API scores for permanent Assistant Professor recruitments (ASRB, State PSCs, Central Universities, ICAR institutes).
