PAU Young Professional-I Recruitment 2026 — 1 Post, Apply by 26 Aug

Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) has released its Young Professional-I Recruitment 2026 notification, inviting applications for 1 post on a contractual basis. The notification was issued on 17 August 2026, and eligible candidates can apply offline until 26 August 2026, with an interview scheduled for 01 September 2026. Applicants need a B.Sc. degree in Medical, any Biological Science (Hons.), Microbiology, Agriculture, Biotechnology, Food Technology, Horticulture, or Forestry, with a minimum of 60% marks or 6.00/10 CGPA, along with Punjabi proficiency up to Matric level. The Young Professional-I role at PAU carries an age range of 21 to 45 years, with age relaxation applicable as per government rules. Selection for this PAU post involves an Interview followed by Document Verification, and the application fee is Rs. 200 for General/OBC candidates. Selected candidates will receive a consolidated monthly pay of Rs. 30,000, on a contractual basis. Interested candidates should download the application form from the official PAU website, fill it out carefully, and send it to the address specified in the notification through Speed Post or Registered Post well before the 26 August 2026 deadline. The Punjabi-language requirement up to Matric level for this PAU Young Professional-I post likely reflects the field-facing nature of the role, since candidates working on university extension or field research projects in Punjab typically need to communicate directly with local farming communities in the regional language. Candidates from any of the eligible Biological Science, Agriculture, Biotechnology, Food Technology, Horticulture, or Forestry streams are welcome to apply, since PAU has structured the eligibility broadly across allied agricultural sciences rather than restricting it to a single discipline. Since the interview date of 01 September 2026 is confirmed alongside the 26 August 2026 application deadline, candidates should plan to be available for the interview well in advance rather than waiting for a separate confirmation, as PAU has already fixed both dates in the original notification. Applicants should double-check the exact minimum CGPA or percentage cutoff against their own degree transcript before applying, since PAU has set a firm 60%/6.00-CGPA threshold with no relaxation mentioned for this qualification requirement.
