One Portal. 19 Universities. 1,523 Career-Changing Opportunities.
While thousands of PhD scholars and NET-qualified candidates are still searching for faculty openings, one of the largest university recruitment drives in recent years is already underway.
The Government of Andhra Pradesh has launched a centralized recruitment portal for faculty hiring across 19 State Universities and RGUKT, offering approximately 1,523 vacancies for:
Assistant Professors

Participating universities include:
