DTU Assistant Professor Selection Process

DTU selects candidates in stages. The first stage is automatic screening of applications on a 100-point scale, based on the details the candidate fills in Table-II. The score has three parts: Ph.D. (30), Pre-Ph.D. degree (60) and qualifying test (10). The Pre-Ph.D. score follows the formula 35 + 0.5 (X − 50), where X is the percentage in the Pre-Ph.D. degree.

Stages of selection:

• Auto-screening on the 100-point scale, followed by a consideration-zone list of up to 1.2 times the number of candidates to be shortlisted.
• Submission of the signed printout and self-attested documents by candidates in the zone, in a sealed envelope.
• Provisional shortlist of a maximum of (4 + 8X) candidates, where X is the number of advertised posts in that discipline and category.
• Document and Point Mark Verification with original documents.
• Presentation to assess teaching aptitude and ability.
• Interview before the Selection Committee for domain knowledge.

DTU bases the final selection on academic record, experience and research performance, teaching aptitude, domain knowledge and interview performance. Candidates who miss a required document are not allowed to appear in the presentation and interview.
