| Stage | Process |
|---|---|
| 1 | Screening of applications |
| 2 | Shortlisting based on eligibility and experience |
| 3 | Interview / Presentation |
| 4 | Document Verification |
| 5 | Final Selection by competent authority |
1. Screening of Applications: Once all applications are received, the first step involves a thorough screening process. This is where the institute checks if candidates meet the basic eligibility criteria, such as educational qualifications, experience, and RCI registration, as outlined in the notification. Incomplete applications or those not meeting the minimum requirements will likely be rejected at this stage.
2. Shortlisting based on Eligibility and Experience: After initial screening, eligible applications will be further evaluated. Candidates will be shortlisted based on their qualifications, the relevance and extent of their teaching/research experience, and their publication record (where applicable). This stage aims to identify the most promising candidates who best fit the requirements of the consultant positions.
3. Interview / Presentation: Shortlisted candidates will be called for an interview, which may also include a presentation. This stage allows the selection committee to assess the candidate's knowledge, communication skills, teaching aptitude, research capabilities, and overall suitability for the role. The interview date will be communicated to the shortlisted candidates separately.
4. Document Verification: Before final selection, candidates will undergo document verification. This is a critical step where all the claims made in the application form, such as educational certificates, experience letters, RCI registration, and identity proofs, are cross-checked against the original documents. Any discrepancy found at this stage could lead to disqualification.
5. Final Selection by Competent Authority: The final decision on selection will be made by the competent authority at SVNIRTAR, based on the overall performance in the interview/presentation and successful document verification. The selection will be purely on a contract basis.
| Post Name | Monthly Remuneration |
|---|---|
| Associate Professor (Consultant) | ₹50,000 - 80,000/- per month |
For the Associate Professor (Consultant) post, selected candidates will receive a monthly remuneration ranging from ₹50,000 to ₹80,000. This amount is a consolidated payment for the services rendered on a contract basis. It's important to understand that as these are consultant positions on a contract basis, the salary structure might differ from regular government employee pay scales. The notification specifies this as "Monthly Remuneration," implying a fixed payment rather than a pay scale with allowances. Candidates should clarify any specific details regarding allowances or other benefits during the interview process, if not explicitly mentioned in the detailed advertisement.
