Maharshi Dayanand University (MANUU), based in New Delhi, has issued an official recruitment notification for the year 2026, inviting applications for 11 vacant positions of Professor and Associate Professor across various departments. The university has opened the online application window, and prospective candidates can submit their forms through the official MANUU website.
According to the notification, the salary for these academic posts falls within the pay band of ₹57,700 to ₹218,200 per month, aligned with the University Grants Commission's regular pay structure for higher education faculty. Professor-level appointments typically attract the upper end of this scale, while Associate Professor positions generally fall in the middle to upper-middle range depending on experience and qualifications.
The last date for submitting online applications is March 27, 2026. Candidates are advised to complete their applications well before the deadline, as late submissions are generally not entertained by the university. The official advertisement will detail the specific departments, required qualifications, age relaxation criteria for reserved categories, and the selection process, which typically involves a combination of academic record review and a presentation or interview round conducted by a departmental selection committee.
This recruitment drive comes at a time when several central universities and educational institutions across India are actively filling senior faculty vacancies. MANUU, named after the revered Vedic scholar Maharshi Dayanand Saraswati, remains one of the prominent central universities in the national capital region, offering postgraduate and doctoral programmes across disciplines including arts, science, commerce, law, and management.
Eligibility requirements for these posts generally include a doctoral degree in the relevant discipline, a strong publication record, and teaching experience as prescribed by UGC regulations. Candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, and other economically backward categories may be eligible for relaxation in age limits as per government norms.
