Important – Read Before You Apply: This recruitment has a TWO-STEP application process. Submitting the online form alone is NOT sufficient.

Hard copies that arrive after the deadline or are not properly indexed will be summarily rejected. Last dates for both online and hard copy submission are tied to the publication date of this advertisement in the “Employment News” weekly – 3 weeks from that date for online submission and 4 weeks for the hard copy. Check aud.delhi.gov.in for the exact dates. Also note: each discipline/post requires a separate application and a separate fee payment. If you are applying for two disciplines, you pay twice. For a Ph.D. from a foreign university, an Equivalence Certificate from the Association of Indian Universities is mandatory – without it, candidature will be summarily rejected.
