This MSU Baroda recruitment cycle is not a single stand-alone vacancy notice. The university has opened a large teaching recruitment drive through three separate notifications: ADE 9/17 of 2025-2026 for temporary GIA positions, ADE 9/18 of 2025-2026 for temporary Higher Payment Programme positions, and ADE 3/19 of 2025-2026 for Assistant Professor posts under Contractual Educational Services. Taken together, these notices account for 1010 teaching vacancies across multiple faculties, departments, programmes and polytechnic subjects.

That distinction matters before you apply. The GIA and HPP notices cover Temporary Assistant Professor, Temporary Teaching Assistant, Temporary Lecturer and related temporary teaching posts, while the CES notice covers Assistant Professor posts for a four-year term in specific higher payment academic programmes. The tenure, service conditions, faculty coverage and qualification rules are not identical across all three notices, so candidates should check the right notification before submitting a form.

The common application window runs from 7 April 2026 at 11:00 AM to 30 April 2026 at 6:00 PM. The university has also fixed a common fee structure of ₹500 for General candidates, ₹250 for SC, ST, SEBC and EWS candidates, and full fee exemption for PwBD candidates with a valid disability certificate. Because corrections are not allowed after confirmation, it is sensible to verify your category, subject, documents and notification number before final submission.

What this recruitment includes

MSU Baroda has clubbed its 2026 teaching hiring cycle across three separate notices. Candidates should treat them as related but different recruitment tracks, because the post nature and service terms are not the same in every notice.

NotificationNature of postsTenureVacancies
ADE 9/17 of 2025-2026Temporary teaching positions against sanctioned vacant postsUp to 11 months or until permanent appointment, whichever is earlier671

ADE 3/19 of 2025-2026Assistant Professor under Contractual Educational Services (CES)4 years27
TotalCombined teaching recruitment driveVaries by notice1010

The CES appointments are also stated to be subject to the financial viability of the concerned programme. So before applying, read the notification number first and the department rules second.

Post types covered in the 1010-post drive

The recruitment is wider than a simple Assistant Professor notice. Depending on the notification and department, the university has opened registration for several teaching categories.

  • Temporary Assistant Professor
  • Temporary Teaching Assistant
  • Temporary Lecturer for Polytechnic
  • Other equivalent temporary teaching positions in specific departments and programmes
  • Assistant Professor under CES for selected higher payment academic programmes

The recruitment portals list many department-wise registrations separately, so candidates should match both the post title and the exact department or programme before filling the form. The common-subject tables in the temporary notices also mean that some subjects are meant to be applied for once, not repeatedly for every linked faculty entry.

Faculty-wise vacancy summary

The official notices provide a faculty-level vacancy breakup for each notification. This is the quickest way to understand where the bulk of posts are concentrated.

Important dates and deadlines

The university has used a common online schedule for all three notifications.

EventDate and time
Notification date31 March 2026
Online application start07 April 2026, 11:00 AM
Last date to submit confirmed application30 April 2026, 6:00 PM
Corrigendum or addendumTo be published only on the university website and recruitment portal

The notices also make it clear that only confirmed applications submitted before the deadline will be accepted. Unconfirmed, incomplete or late applications are liable to be rejected.

Eligibility and minimum qualification

There is no single universal qualification line for all 1010 posts. The minimum eligibility depends on the faculty, subject and the regulator that governs that programme. Candidates should therefore read the department-specific qualification pages in the relevant notification before applying.

  • For many Arts, Science, Commerce, Law, Social Work, Journalism and similar Assistant Professor categories, the base rule is a Master's degree with at least 55% marks in the concerned, relevant or allied subject, along with NET, SLET or SET, or a valid Ph.D. exemption as per applicable UGC rules.
  • Education and Psychology posts have separate combinations such as Master's degree plus M.Ed., or M.A. in Education plus B.Ed., depending on the post.
  • Management, engineering, pharmacy, polytechnic and other professional programmes follow the applicable AICTE, PCI, NCTE, NCERT and related statutory norms. Some of these posts may require first-class degrees, professional qualifications or experience in addition to the academic degree.
  • Candidates with foreign degrees, apart from doctorate degrees, may be required to produce an equivalence certificate from the Association of Indian Universities.
  • Eligibility has to be satisfied on or before the last date of application. Later improvements in qualification or experience will not help for this cycle.

In practical terms, most applicants should assume that this is a postgraduate-level teaching recruitment unless a specific professional programme prescribes a different academic combination.

Application fee and documents required

MSU Baroda has prescribed a common online fee structure for these notices.

CategoryFee
General₹500
SC, ST, SEBC, EWS₹250
PwBDExempt, subject to valid disability certificate

The fee has to be paid online through net banking, credit card or debit card. The notice states that Google Pay or wallet-based payment is not preferred, and offline payment modes such as cash, demand draft, money order or postal order will not be accepted. The application fee is non-refundable.

Before starting the form, keep these uploads ready:

  • Recent passport-size colour photograph in JPG, JPEG or PNG format, up to 50 KB
  • Scanned signature in JPG, JPEG or PNG format, up to 50 KB
  • Supporting documents such as mark sheets, degree certificates, experience certificates, caste certificate, disability certificate and similar proof in PDF format, with each file not exceeding 512 KB
  • No Objection Certificate if you are already employed and the post rules require it

How to apply online

  1. Open the official recruitment hub at https://msubaroda.ac.in/Recruitment.
  2. Choose the correct recruitment stream. Temporary notices ADE 9/17 and ADE 9/18 are handled through the temporary recruitment portal, while CES notice ADE 3/19 is handled through the CES portal.
  3. Register first using a valid mobile number and email address. Registration is mandatory before you can fill the application form.
  4. Select the exact notification number, department or programme, and post title carefully.
  5. Fill the personal, academic, category and experience details. Where applicable, enter the Academic or Research Score with documentary support.
  6. Upload the required photograph, signature and PDF documents in the prescribed format and size.
  7. Pay the fee online, review all entries carefully, and submit the application in confirmed mode.
  8. Download or save the system-generated application form for later use. The university requires hard copies at later stages if you are shortlisted.

If you want to apply for more than one position, you must submit a separate application for each post unless the notification specifically treats it as a common-subject application.

Selection process and how MSU will contact candidates

The notices indicate that shortlisting and further stages can include document verification, screening test and personal interview depending on the post and department. Candidates who are shortlisted are expected to produce two sets of hard copies of the system-generated application form along with supporting documents at the relevant stage.

For Assistant Professor-category positions, the notification states that Academic or Research Score is to be used only for shortlisting, and final selection is based on interview performance. Candidates should therefore treat the form and document record seriously, but also be prepared for subject-specific interview assessment.

MSU has also made it clear that official communication such as interview call letters and updates will be made available through the registered user account and through email-based communication. No postal communication should be expected.

Tenure, job nature and service conditions

These notices include both temporary and contractual teaching appointments, and candidates should understand the difference before applying.

NoticeNature of appointmentService note
ADE 9/17Purely temporary teaching appointment against sanctioned vacant postCan end on permanent appointment to the post; does not create a right to regularization or continuation
ADE 9/18Purely temporary teaching appointment in Higher Payment Programmes for 11 monthsDoes not create a right to regularization or permanent status
ADE 3/19Assistant Professor under CES for four yearsSubject to the financial viability of the concerned programme
  • No TA or DA is payable for appearing in recruitment stages.
  • Knowledge of Gujarati is desirable.
  • The notifications state that these appointments do not create parity with permanent employees in pay, service conditions or continuation rights.
  • Any dispute relating to recruitment falls under the jurisdiction of Vadodara, Gujarat.

The temporary notice also says that the salary for temporary teaching posts will be as per the relevant resolution of the Executive Council of the university, but the exact figure is not stated in the notification itself.

Important rules candidates often miss

  • Once a form is submitted and confirmed, it cannot be edited.
  • Leaving the category field blank can cause problems; reservation claims must be supported with valid certificates.
  • In-service candidates should keep a No Objection Certificate ready. If it is not uploaded at the time of application, it has to be produced during document verification or interview.
  • Applicants must apply well before the deadline because the university does not take responsibility for last-minute technical or network issues.
  • For common subjects in the temporary notices, the note says candidates should apply only once.
  • All teaching experience and qualification claims are counted only up to the last date of application.
  • Corrigenda, addenda and updates will be published on the official website only.
  • Incorrect information, suppression of facts or unsupported claims can lead to rejection or later dismissal if appointed.
