2Current RGIPT Rolling Faculty Recruitment 2026
RGIPT’s rolling advertisement invites applications from Indian nationals, including eligible Persons of Indian Origin and Overseas Citizens of India. These positions support teaching and research in petroleum, energy and allied domains.
Professor
This senior academic role requires substantial teaching, research or industrial experience. In addition, candidates need prior service at Associate Professor level.
Associate Professor
This mid-to-senior role requires post-PhD academic or equivalent experience. It also includes experience at Assistant Professor level or an equivalent position.
Assistant Professor Grade I
This regular appointment route is for candidates who meet the PhD and academic requirements. In addition, they need at least three years of qualifying teaching, research or industrial experience outside the PhD period.
Assistant Professor Grade II
This entry route can include fresh PhDs. Progression is then linked to post-PhD experience and RGIPT norms.
Rolling recruitment does not mean an automatic interview. Instead, RGIPT processes applications in cycles. Interviews may therefore be held periodically according to institute needs and the availability of suitable candidates.
3Departments and Campuses Covered
The rolling advertisement spans core engineering, energy, computing, mathematical and management disciplines. Most listed departments cover both Jais and Bengaluru. However, Management Studies is listed for Bengaluru.
Petroleum Engineering & Geoengineering
The call includes petroleum, geoengineering and related energy-focused teaching and research.
Chemical & Biochemical Engineering
These positions align with chemical, biochemical, process and energy-related research and teaching.
Electrical & Electronics Engineering
Applicants can target electrical, electronics and related energy and technology areas.
Mechanical Engineering
The recruitment also covers mechanical engineering and allied research relevant to RGIPT’s programmes.
Computer Science & Engineering
Computing roles support RGIPT’s engineering and technology programmes.
Energy and Human Sciences
This area supports interdisciplinary teaching and research in energy-linked science and human-science domains.
Mathematical Sciences
Mathematical Sciences supports quantitative teaching and research across RGIPT programmes.
Management Studies
Unlike the other listed areas, Management Studies is specifically listed for the Bengaluru Campus.
RGIPT notes that faculty members may be transferred among its campuses. Therefore, applicants should read the appointment and campus provisions carefully before assuming that a position will remain tied to one location.
4Eligibility by Faculty Rank
The minimum qualification for all faculty positions is a PhD with first class or equivalent in the preceding degree in the appropriate branch, together with a very good academic record. However, experience requirements vary by rank.
| Position | Experience requirement stated in the rolling advertisement |
|---|---|
| Professor | 10 years of teaching, research or industrial experience, including at least 4 years at Associate Professor level. |
| Associate Professor | Minimum 6 years of teaching, research or industrial experience, including at least 3 years at Assistant Professor level or equivalent. |
| Assistant Professor Grade I | PhD and strong academic record; regular appointment can be made for candidates with 3 or more years of qualifying teaching, research or industrial experience excluding experience gained during the PhD. |
| Assistant Professor Grade II | PhD and strong academic record. For a fresh PhD, the position is on contract basis for the first three years. Experience gained during PhD is not counted. |
Shortlisting can be stricter than minimum eligibility. In other words, meeting the basic requirements does not guarantee an interview. RGIPT may use higher qualification or experience thresholds to limit the shortlist.

6Age Limit and Reservation
For Assistant Professor applicants in Cycle II, the rolling advertisement states an upper age limit of 35 years as on 1 November 2026. However, RGIPT may consider relaxation in exceptional cases. Reserved-category relaxation is governed separately by Government of India guidelines.

7How to Apply for RGIPT Rolling Faculty Recruitment
- First, confirm the faculty rank, department and campus relevant to your profile.
- Next, check that your PhD discipline, preceding degree and experience satisfy the rank-specific requirement.
- Then prepare the online application using RGIPT’s faculty recruitment system.
- In addition, list proposed, ongoing and completed research projects clearly, as requested in the official guidance.
- Prepare a concise teaching philosophy and strategy rather than generic teaching statements.
- Also list national and international conferences attended and specify your role in each.
- Upload or attach all required supporting documents and category certificates where applicable.
- After submitting the online form, follow the official instruction requiring a copy with supporting documents to be sent electronically to the faculty-recruitment contact stated in the advertisement.
- Finally, complete the application well before the second-cycle cut-off of 1 November 2026, 11:59 PM.

8How to Strengthen an RGIPT Faculty Application
RGIPT’s rolling recruitment is broad. However, a broad advertisement does not justify a generic application. Instead, the strongest applications make the match between the candidate’s research, teaching and target department immediately visible.
Show research independence
Separate completed, ongoing and proposed projects. For example, highlight work where you led the research question, obtained funding, supervised students or developed a new technical direction.
Make teaching fit concrete
Identify courses you can teach and laboratories you can support. Then explain how your expertise connects with RGIPT’s petroleum, energy, engineering, computing or management programmes.
Structure the CV for quick review
Place the target specialisation, strongest publications, funded projects, patents and relevant teaching experience where a selection committee can see them quickly.
Do not rely on minimum eligibility
RGIPT explicitly reserves the right to shortlist using standards above the minimum. Therefore, competitive evidence matters more than simply meeting the threshold.
For senior positions, applicants should also foreground research leadership, doctoral supervision, major funded projects, academic administration and evidence of institution-building. In this way, the application shows both academic depth and institutional value.
