| Department | Position | Posts | Reservation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Computer Science and Engineering | Assistant Professor (Temporary) | 2 | 1 SC + 1 EWS |
The university states that the advertised vacancy count is tentative and may be increased or decreased at the time of selection.
Temporary call versus CUJ regular recruitment
CUJ also has a separate recruitment stream for regular teaching posts. Applicants looking for Professor, Associate Professor or regular Assistant Professor positions should review CareerAidHub’s CUJ regular faculty recruitment . The present advertisement should not be confused with that rolling recruitment.
03 Who Is Eligible?
For the Computer Science and Engineering posts, CUJ specifies two alternative qualification routes.
Essential qualification
Route 1: B.E./B.Tech./B.S. and M.E./M.Tech./M.S., or an Integrated M.Tech., in the relevant branch, with first class or equivalent in at least one of the degrees.
OR
Route 2: PhD in Computer Science & Engineering together with MCA.
The advertisement identifies Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Science and Engineering, and Computer Science and Technology as desirable/relevant disciplines.
Relaxation provisions
The advertisement provides specified mark relaxations for eligible SC/ST, differently-abled and OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) candidates. It also contains a provision concerning PhD holders whose Master’s degree was obtained before 19 September 1991. Candidates relying on a relaxation should use the exact wording in the official advertisement rather than assuming that a general relaxation automatically applies.
04 Salary and Appointment Terms
The selected candidates will receive ₹57,700 per month as consolidated remuneration. This figure should not be interpreted as a regular Academic Pay Level appointment or a standard permanent faculty salary package.
| Term | Official position |
|---|---|
| Nature | Purely temporary |
| Remuneration | ₹57,700/month consolidated |
| Initial period | One semester |
| Possible extension | Subject to university requirement and satisfactory performance |
| Leave | 8 days on a pro-rata basis in a calendar year |
| Residential accommodation | Not provided as a regular-employee benefit |
| Official transport | Not provided |
| Leave encashment / regular allowances | Not available as for regular employees |
Applicants should therefore assess this vacancy as a short-term teaching appointment rather than a permanent faculty career move.

08 CareerAidHub’s Practical Interpretation
Is this the right vacancy for you?
This call is most relevant to candidates who meet the specified Computer Science and Engineering qualification route, qualify under the advertised SC or EWS reservation, and are comfortable accepting a temporary one-semester appointment at consolidated remuneration.
What should you do first?
Verify your degree combination and category eligibility before making travel arrangements. If eligible, complete the online registration well before 21 September. Registration is a prerequisite for attending the walk-in.
What is the main practical risk?
The most consequential mistake would be seeing the 25 September interview date and assuming that no prior application step is needed. CUJ explicitly requires online registration by 21 September at 5:00 p.m. and states that the walk-in will be held for registered candidates.
Do not confuse temporary and regular CUJ recruitment
This vacancy pays consolidated remuneration and is initially for one semester. It is separate from CUJ’s regular faculty recruitment. Applicants specifically seeking permanent academic appointments should compare the terms before deciding which recruitment route matches their career objective.
