ANGRAU Research Associate Recruitment 2026 - Walk-in for 1 Research Associate Post

ANGRAU Research Associate 2026 Overview

ANGRAU is conducting a walk-in interview for one Research Associate post in the Department of Plant Pathology at Agricultural Research Station, Yellamanchili. The engagement is on a full-time contractual basis.

The official notice identifies this as a temporary appointment and states that the current schedule is a revised date and venue. Candidates should treat the published walk-in date in the official PDF as the operative schedule for attendance.

Important Date and Walk-in Venue

Candidates should reach the venue on time with all required documents because the process is being conducted as a walk-in interview, not through a later call letter or online test stage mentioned in the notice.

Vacancy Details

This recruitment is narrowly defined around one research position in plant pathology. Candidates from unrelated disciplines should not assume eligibility unless they squarely meet the subject requirement stated in the notice.

Eligibility Criteria

The notice provides two qualification routes for the Research Associate post:

• Ph.D. in Plant Pathology.
• Master's degree in Plant Pathology along with a 4 or 5 year Bachelor's degree having first division or equivalent overall grade point average, plus at least 3 years of respective teaching or research experience evidenced through fellowship, associateship, training, or other engagements, and one published research paper in a Science Citation Index or NAAS rated journal with rating 4.0 or above.

The notice also states that all relevant degrees should be completed in ICAR accredited universities or colleges only. Candidates should check this point carefully before attending, because it is a specific eligibility condition in the official notification.

Age Limit

The official notice gives separate upper age limits for men and women. No additional age-relaxation rule is clearly detailed in the notification for this walk-in, so candidates should rely on the limits expressly mentioned in the notice unless ANGRAU issues any further clarification.

Salary and Duration of the Post

The duration of the post is 11 months from the date of joining or till the filling of the regular post, whichever is earlier. This means the tenure is not open-ended, and continuation beyond the stated condition should not be assumed.

Selection Process

The official recruitment mode is a walk-in interview. Candidates are expected to appear in person at the notified venue on the scheduled date and time.

The notice requires candidates to bring all original certificates and submit one set of bio-data along with xerox copies of educational qualifications and other certificates, if any, social status documents, and passport size photograph at the time of interview. The selection committee's decision has been declared final and binding in all respects.

Documents to Carry

Based on the official notice, candidates should attend the walk-in with the following:

• All original certificates.
• One set of bio-data.
• Xerox copies of educational qualification certificates.
• Other relevant certificates, if any.
• Social status certificate, where applicable.
• Passport size photograph.

Since originals are specifically required, candidates should keep both originals and photocopy sets ready in advance. The notice does not describe a separate online form submission process before the walk-in.

Terms and Conditions of Appointment

• The engagement is purely temporary and contractual.
• The appointment ends after completion of 11 months or on filling of the regular staff position, whichever is earlier.
• The selected person will have no claim for regular appointment in the university or any government organization on the basis of this engagement.
• The incumbent will have no right to claim further continuation of contractual service.
• Concealment of facts or canvassing in any form can lead to disqualification at selection stage or termination during the contract period.
• The contract can be terminated at any time without prior notice or assigning reasons.
• The engaged person may leave by giving one month notice, otherwise one month's salary has to be paid before leaving.
• The selected candidate must undergo medical examination at their own expense before appointment.
• No TA or DA will be paid for attending the interview.
• ANGRAU reserves the right to cancel or postpone the interview due to unavoidable circumstances.

What the Official Notice Confirms and What It Does Not

The official notification clearly confirms the post name, department, number of vacancies, tenure, qualification pattern, age limit, remuneration, walk-in date, and venue. It also clearly lists the document requirement and key contractual conditions.

At the same time, the notice does not announce a separate written test, online application portal, or detailed application fee structure. As of the current official notice, candidates should proceed on the basis that this recruitment is being handled directly through the scheduled walk-in interview. If ANGRAU publishes any corrigendum or updated notice, that later official communication should prevail.

For direct verification, candidates should read the official PDF notice and the university recruitment page before attending.
