DTU Faculty Recruitment 2026: 84 Posts, Dates to Check
Delhi Technological University's short recruitment notice lists Professor and Associate Professor vacancies, including backlog vacancies and a special drive for the PwBD category. Its two vacancy tables total 84 posts. The detailed advertisement and later university updates must be checked before applying.
How is the total of 84 posts calculated?
The notice lists two Professor posts in Mathematics and Computing and 82 Associate Professor posts across its discipline table. Adding those separate totals gives 84. The PwBD figures are shown alongside the vacancy distribution and must not be added again as extra vacancies. The notice says the vacancies are provisional and may vary.
When does the online application period close?
The short notice gives 23 October 2026 from 11:00 am as the opening time and 7 December 2026 at 5:00 pm as the closing time for online applications. It gives 21 December 2026 at 5:00 pm for submission of the printed copy. Keep the two deadlines separate and check the university for any subsequent change.
What documents and eligibility rules should you verify?
Use the detailed advertisement for the discipline-specific qualifications, experience, age conditions, category requirements and fee. This short notice is not enough to decide those questions, so this guide does not invent a universal eligibility rule or application charge. Check the exact discipline row and applicable benchmark-disability details.
Is an online form the only step?
No. The notice asks candidates to print the submitted online application and send it with self-attested certificates and documents to the Recruitment Cell, Room 818,8 th Floor, AB-3 Block, DTU, Main Bawana Road, Shahbad Daulatpur, Delhi 110042. Re-read that address and the detailed instructions at the issuing university before dispatch.
Where should you look for later updates?
The notice says further recruitment communications will appear on the university website. Start there, match this faculty notice and check corrigenda before filling or paying. A third-party job listing is a discovery aid, not authority to ignore the issuing notice. No application, fee payment or selection assurance is offered by this independent blog.

Detailed advertisement check (30 October 2026)
DTU has now published the detailed Advertisement No. 05/2026, which answers the questions the short notice left open:
- Application fee: ₹3,000 for UR/OBC, ₹1,000 for EWS/SC/ST, and PwBD exempt. The concession applies only when the post is reserved for that category and you apply against that reserved post. Fee is paid online only and is not refunded.
- Recruitment rules: pay scale, essential qualifications and experience are given in DTU's recruitment-rule PDFs linked from the advertisement (separate links for Professor, Associate Professor in Design and Management, and the remaining disciplines).
- Research score: as revised by the corrigendum, a minimum Research Score of 75 (Associate Professor) and 120 (Professor) is required for candidates other than engineering and MBA/PGDM/CA/CWA/CS qualifications.
- PwBD suitability: Annexure-I lists the benchmark disabilities identified for each discipline.
Step-by-step: how to apply
- Open www.dtu.ac.in and find Advertisement No. 05/2026 and the corrigendum of 29 October 2026.
- Check your discipline row and the recruitment-rule PDF for your post.
- Fill the online application on the university website before 7 December 2026, 5:00 PM, and pay the applicable fee online. Keep the payment proof.
- Fill Annexure-II (Academic/Research Score sheet) with evidence for every point you claim.
- Print the online form and Annexure-II, sign each page, and attach self-attested documents.
- Send the set so that it reaches the Recruitment Cell, Room 818, AB-3 Block, DTU by 21 December 2026, 5:00 PM.
Documents checklist
The advertisement asks for self-attested copies of:
- Signed printout of the online application and Annexure-II
- Educational qualification certificates and experience certificates
- Category certificate and PwBD certificate (if applicable)
- Front page of PhD thesis and front pages of publications
- Documents supporting eligibility and each claimed point
- Fee receipt / proof of payment
Selection process
- DTU uploads lists of provisionally eligible and not-eligible candidates; you can send a representation.
- Shortlisting for Document & Point Mark Verification uses Academic Record (20 points) plus Experience & Research Performance (40 points), out of 60.
- Points are validated only against documents submitted; a segment with no document scores zero.
- Candidates who clear verification give a presentation (teaching aptitude) and then an interview (domain knowledge).
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating online submission as the last step: the printed copy has its own deadline.
- Claiming points without attaching proof; unproven claims count as zero.
- Paying a concession fee while applying against an unreserved post.
- Mixing up this advertisement with DTU's separate Advertisement No. 04/2026 for Assistant Professor posts, which is a different recruitment.

Do not add it again. The notice gives 2 Professor and 82 Associate Professor positions in its main tables.

No. It corrects wording, table references and the research-score footnote, and says all other contents stay unchanged.
