2 What Is Currently Open?
This is a rolling faculty advertisement divided into application cohorts. The First Cohort closed on 31 January 2026, the Second on 31 March 2026, and the Third on 31 July 2026. The official recruitment portal now identifies the Final Cohort as the active application window.
The final published submission date is . The public portal states the date but does not display a submission time. Candidates should therefore avoid leaving submission until the final day.
3 Who Is Eligible?
The advertisement invites applications from qualified Indian nationals and Overseas Citizens of India (OCI). Applicants must satisfy the requirements for the specific faculty cadre and discipline for which they apply.
Academic requirement
The advertisement requires a PhD in the relevant or equivalent discipline together with first class in preceding degrees.
Cadre-specific requirements
Educational qualifications, experience, academic credit points and other eligibility conditions are governed by the applicable Government of India / Ministry of Education recruitment rules for NIT faculty.
A PhD by itself should not be treated as sufficient for every cadre. Professor and Associate Professor applicants in particular should verify the prescribed experience and credit-point requirements before submitting.
The institute also reserves the right to consider, select or omit an equivalent area of specialization. Applicants whose degree title does not exactly match the advertised department should therefore verify disciplinary compatibility rather than assuming equivalence.
4 Faculty Posts and Departments
The official advertisement carries a sanctioned roster of 19 faculty posts: 3 Professor, 14 Associate Professor and 2 Assistant Professor (Level 12) positions.
The recruitment portal identifies the following academic departments:
Engineering
Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Electronics and Communication Engineering.
Science and Humanities
Mathematics and Humanities & Social Sciences.
The advertisement states that reservation for persons with disabilities applies at 4% according to Government of India norms.

5 How to Apply
The candidate applies directly online through the NIT Manipur faculty recruitment portal. The institute’s application instructions use a profile-based process.
- Create an account using an active email address and activate the account from the email received.
- Complete the basic profile and personal information.
- Add academic qualifications and employment or experience records.
- Enter research, teaching, administrative and professional-development information.
- Use the Apply to Post function for the correct faculty position.
- Review the submitted application and generate the application PDF from the portal for your records.
What happens after submission?
For earlier cohorts under the same advertisement, NIT Manipur published provisional eligibility/not-eligibility information, grievance updates, and seminar/interview schedules. Final Cohort applicants should follow institute notices after scrutiny rather than assuming an interview date in advance.
6 CareerAidHub’s Practical Interpretation
What should you check first?
Confirm that your PhD discipline, preceding academic record, experience and academic credit points meet the rules for the specific cadre you intend to select.
What is the main practical risk?
Do not assume that meeting the PhD requirement alone makes you eligible for Associate Professor or Professor. The NIT faculty rules contain cadre-specific conditions.
What should you avoid?
Avoid copying information from the separate July 2026 recruitment. Advertisement R-2069 is a different recruitment process whose recommended candidates have already been published.
Not ready for a faculty cadre?
PhD holders who do not yet meet faculty experience or credit-point requirements can compare suitable research jobs while building the required academic record.
