OUAT Guest Faculty Recruitment 2026 — 10 Posts, Walk-in 24 Sep

OUAT Guest Faculty Recruitment 2026 (10 Posts), Walk-in Interview on 24-25 September 2026 in Odisha. Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT) has released a recruitment notification for 10 posts of Guest Faculty across nine agricultural science disciplines, including Entomology, Soil Science, Agricultural Biotechnology, Agricultural Statistics, Extension Education, Plant Breeding & Genetics, Nematology, Plant Physiology, and Seed Science & Technology. This Odisha state university job 2026 opportunity is open to candidates holding a Master's degree in the respective subject. Eligible candidates who meet the qualification and age criteria below can attend the walk-in interview at the OUAT campus in Bhubaneswar. Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology, established in 1962, is Odisha's premier state agricultural university and one of India's oldest agricultural universities, running undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programmes across agriculture, veterinary science, agricultural engineering, and home science. Guest Faculty appointments of this kind are a standard mechanism used by state agricultural universities to cover teaching load in specialised subject areas — such as Nematology and Seed Science & Technology here — where the number of regular faculty positions sanctioned may not match current student intake, making this walk-in route a faster path to a teaching engagement than the university's regular faculty recruitment cycle, though without the security or benefits of a permanent post. Selected Guest Faculty will teach undergraduate and postgraduate students at OUAT's agricultural science departments in Bhubaneswar on a contractual, class-wise remuneration basis. The OUAT Guest Faculty 2026 selection process consists of a Walk-in Interview followed by Document Verification, with no separate written test conducted for this teaching role. The remuneration for OUAT Guest Faculty 2026 is ₹1,200 per class, subject to a maximum of ₹60,000 per month, making this a flexible, workload-linked pay structure rather than a fixed monthly salary. Candidates should attend the OUAT Guest Faculty 2026 walk-in interview at the OUAT campus, Bhubaneswar, reporting by 10:00 AM on either 24 or 25 September 2026 depending on the subject. Application fee is ₹500 for both General/OBC and SC/ST candidates. Candidates must read the complete official OUAT notification PDF before applying, since this is a contractual guest-faculty engagement with remuneration tied directly to the number of classes taught, rather than a permanent teaching appointment.
