A big hiring round for a state university

Delhi Technological University was established as a university in 2009, though its roots go back to the Delhi College of Engineering founded in 1941. It is a state public university with its main campus at Shahbad Daulatpur in northwest Delhi, running engineering, management, design and economics programmes. Its B.Tech seats fill through JEE Main scores and the joint JAC Delhi counselling.

219 Assistant Professor posts in a single advertisement is a large intake. The posts span regular vacancies, backlog positions from earlier rounds, and a special drive for Persons with Benchmark Disabilities.

Who can apply

Eligibility follows DTU’s discipline-specific recruitment rules. The university has published separate recruitment rules covering essential qualifications, relevant branches and experience, and candidates need to check the rules for their exact discipline before applying. Meeting the minimum qualification alone does not guarantee shortlisting.

DTU is a state university, and the rules that shape its hiring differ from how central institutes recruit. Our comparison of central, state and private universities explains what those differences mean for students and staff alike.

How to apply

Applications go in through the official recruitment portal, which is linked from the university’s main website at dtu.ac.in. The notification and the discipline-wise recruitment rules carry the exact eligibility, fee and reservation details for each category, so read them against your own qualifications before submitting the form.

The selection stages are screening of applications, document and point verification, a teaching presentation and an interview. Details on DTU’s campus and programmes are on our Delhi Technological University profile.
