What’s New and Why It Matters
BAMU has granted a short extension that directly affects your preparation timeline. Plan backward from the final online submission deadline (18 November 2025) and the hard-copy receipt deadline (24 November 2025). Use the extra days to polish the ATR entries, validate your category and experience certificates, and paginate annexures correctly for faster scrutiny. Do not wait until the last 48 hours; the portal may be busy, and courier networks can slow down closer to the cut-off.
BAMU has extended its 2025 recruitment for 73 teaching posts across Professor, Associate Professor, and Assistant Professor cadres. Online applications close on 18 November 2025, and two hard-copy sets must reach the Establishment Department by 24 November 2025. Act early, align your dossier with ATR headings, and avoid last-minute courier risks.

Where to Apply and What to Read First- Recruitment & ATR Portal: Register, complete the online form for your cadre, and generate the ATR (Assessment/Academic form). Keep the application number and download all PDFs.¹
- Advertisement (73 Posts): Study subject-wise break-up, essential qualifications, desirable criteria, and enclosure lists before filling the ATR to avoid inconsistencies.¹
- Corrigendum (Nov 2025): Note the date extension and any clarifications or formatting updates introduced alongside the Government Resolution reference.¹
Reading Order That Saves Time
Start with the advertisement → ATR (to understand scoring and documentation depth), then move to the corrigendum for changes. Only after that should you begin data entry and uploads.
Eligibility and Pay Scales (At a Glance)
BAMU adheres to UGC Regulations and the Maharashtra 7th CPC framework. The exact post-wise criteria are defined in the official advertisement; use them as your checklist.
- Professor: Ph.D.; robust research profile with post-Ph.D. experience; peer-reviewed publications and academic leadership as per UGC norms.
- Associate Professor: Ph.D.; requisite teaching/research experience; publications per UGC criteria, with demonstrated contributions to curriculum, supervision, or projects.
- Assistant Professor: Qualifications as per discipline-specific UGC norms (NET/SET/Ph.D., or equivalents defined by UGC/GR).
- Reservation, Age, and Relaxations: As per state/UGC rules noted in the advertisement and corrigendum.¹
Interpreting “As per UGC Regulations”
This phrase signals standardized expectations: verified degrees, credible journals, authenticated experience, and clear evidence of quality (e.g., indexing, impact, or Q1/Q2 where relevant). If in doubt, reference the latest UGC notifications and your subject’s accepted benchmarks.
Application Fee (Indicative; Re-Check at Payment)
Earlier cycles indicated ₹500 (Open) and ₹300 (Reserved). However, you must verify the operative fee and gateway on the payment page during this window, since institutions may update modes or exact amounts. Keep a digital and printed receipt with your dossier.
Fee-Payment Hygiene
- Use a single, stable browser session to avoid duplicate transactions.
- Download the successful payment acknowledgment immediately and attach a printed copy to both hard-copy sets.
Step-by-Step: Apply Without Errors
Step 1 — Register & Fill the Online Form: Create your account, select the correct cadre (Professor, Associate Professor, or Assistant Professor), and complete all fields. Save interim progress and verify contact details for future communication.¹
Step 2 — Generate the ATR (Assessment/Academic Form): Input publications, teaching hours, projects, patents, supervision, conference roles, outreach, and awards with verifiable evidence. Keep journal details consistent (ISSN, indexing, DOI) and ensure your counts match annexures.
Step 3 — Upload the Required Files: Follow the portal’s file-type and size limits. Scan documents at readable resolutions (usually 200–300 dpi is sufficient). Name files systematically (e.g., Surname_Publications_1of3.pdf).
Step 4 — Pay the Application Fee: Re-confirm the fee amount and mode on the portal. After payment, download and print the receipt; include it in both hard-copy sets.
Step 5 — Print, Sign, and Dispatch Two Hard-Copy Sets: Print the completed application and ATR. Self-attest enclosures, ensure pagination, and create a contents index aligned to ATR headings. Dispatch via a trackable courier to ensure the parcel reaches by 24 November 2025.
Pro-Tip: Pre-Dispatch “Mini-Audit”
Before sealing: check signatures, page numbers, annexure labels, and cross-references. A 10-minute audit commonly prevents screening queries and clarifications.
Documents Checklist (Typical, Align to ATR Headings)
- Duly signed Application Form and ATR
- Proof of date of birth and category (if applicable)
- UG/PG/Ph.D. degrees and mark sheets (with year of award clearly visible)
- NET/SET certificate (as relevant to your discipline)
- Experience certificates with explicit role, nature of appointment, and dates
- Publications (first page/DOI/acceptance), citation evidence (if used), patents, projects/grants
- Awards/recognitions, invited talks, editorial roles (claimed in ATR)
- NOC/relieving/appointment letters where applicable
- Fee receipt, ID proofs, and any corrigendum-specific forms
Aligning annexures to ATR sections speeds up internal scrutiny and reduces “data not traceable” remarks.
Tips to Strengthen Your Application
Mirror the Advertisement and ATR: Adopt the same section titles and order. Reviewers can then verify claims against annexures without hunting through duplicates or loosely titled files.
Curate, Don’t Dump: If you are applying for Professor/Associate Professor, foreground high-quality outputs (e.g., Q1/Q2, SCI/Scopus, UGC-CARE where applicable) that map to the department’s current or emerging strengths.
Explain Impact in Plain Language: Attach a one-page Research Statement (present focus, 3–5-year roadmap, instrumentation plans) and a Teaching Philosophy (courses, labs, assessment design, student mentoring). Emphasize how your expertise advances the department’s profile and student outcomes.
Map to BAMU’s Needs: From the advertisement, identify the subject/centre and tailor your examples: curriculum updates, lab development, safety SOPs, industry projects, and community outreach. Demonstrate your ability to build collaborations and attract funding.
Send Early: Hard-copy deadlines are firm. Build in a 3–4 working day buffer to account for courier transit and administrative checks.
Chemistry / Green Energy Applicants: Targeted Guidance
Interdisciplinarity Wins: Offer courses like Energy Materials, Electrochemistry, Environmental Analytics, or Process Safety to support regional industry and national missions (e.g., Green Hydrogen and Net-Zero targets).
A Lab Plan That Adds Value: Propose an equipment roadmap (core instruments, shared access, consumables, and maintenance). Include SOPs, safety inductions, and student training modules that can be implemented in the first semester.
Collaboration and Funding Pipeline: Outline potential ties with CSIR labs, IISERs, or NCL Pune, plus a first-year submission calendar for grants (e.g., SERB, DST, DBT, MNRE). Demonstrate readiness to deliver consultancy, testing services, or internships with local MSMEs.
Final Checklist Before You Hit “Submit”
- Online application complete; ATR generated and reviewed
- Fee paid; receipt printed and included in both sets
- Eligibility cross-checked against advertisement (subject and cadre)
- Two hard-copy sets printed, signed, paginated, and indexed
- Courier arranged with tracking so the parcel reaches by 24 November 2025
