A provisional merit list will be published on the university website and notice board for claims/objections (दावा-आपत्ति), followed by the final selection list. In case of a tie in merit marks within the same category, preference will be granted to native residents (मूल निवासी) of Chhattisgarh.

Work Culture & Environment

Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

Guest faculty at SMKV Bastar are assigned to 16 university teaching departments (UTDs) in Dharampura, Jagdalpur. Beyond core undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, faculty must support institutional administration as directed by the university authorities, including entrance examinations, student council elections, literary/cultural events, youth festivals, semester examinations and evaluations, and NAAC accreditation documentation. Continuous unauthorized absence of 15 days results in automatic cancellation of the arrangement.

Posting & Transfer Policy

Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.

The position is purely temporary and stop-gap for the academic session 2026–27. Services terminate automatically as soon as regular appointments, transfers, or regular faculty postings take place against the respective posts. Appointees are required to submit an affidavit at joining confirming they have no pending criminal cases, are not holding other government employment, and acknowledging that guest services do not confer public servant status or any right to future regularization.

Career & Promotion Ladder

Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.

Guest faculty engagements do not offer an internal promotion ladder or permanent cadre absorption. However, serving as a guest lecturer provides verified teaching experience, university administrative exposure, and research credentials that count toward Academic Performance Index (API) score weightage in regular CGPSC Assistant Professor and university faculty recruitments.
Crucial Application Warnings & Eligibility Traps

Avoid common application rejection triggers, photo/signature guidelines, and certificate validity windows.

  • Strict Postal / Physical Submission: Applications sent via email will not be accepted; completed physical application forms with all self-attested documents must reach the Registrar's office by 07.10.2026 (05:30 PM).
  • Chhattisgarh Domicile Tie-Breaker Rule: If two candidates within the same category obtain equal marks in the academic merit index, preference is legally reserved for native residents (मूल निवासी) of Chhattisgarh.
  • No Regularization Claim: The arrangement is an honorarium-based stop-gap measure and will under no circumstances serve as a legal basis for regularization or permanent appointment.
  • Mandatory Affidavit at Joining: Selected candidates must furnish an affidavit verifying clean police/court records, confirming they hold no other government/semi-government service, and affirming they have never been removed for misconduct or unsatisfactory service.
