Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), a Deemed University and Institute of National Importance under the Ministry of Education, has released Advertisement No. TISS/TEACHING/2026/01 for 9 teaching posts spanning Professor, Associate Professor, and Assistant Professor cadres across its Tuljapur, Hyderabad, and Guwahati campuses. Candidates meeting UGC Regulations 2018 qualification norms — from a Master's degree with NET/SLET/SET to a Ph.D. with 8-10 years' experience — can apply online until 03 November 2026. Selected faculty will teach and conduct research across TISS's academic departments, with Assistant Professor positions spanning Social Sciences, Sociology, and School of Social Work at Guwahati and Tuljapur campuses, and Associate Professor covering Social Work, Development Studies, and the School of Social Sciences. The TISS Teaching 2026 selection process consists of shortlisting based on academic score, followed by an interview. Application fee for TISS Teaching Recruitment 2026 is ₹2,000 for General/OBC, ₹1,000 for SC/ST, ₹500 for PwBD, and ₹1,500 for Women candidates, with salary as per the respective UGC Academic Pay Level for the cadre. Candidates for TISS Teaching Recruitment 2026 must apply online at tiss.ac.in, complete the application with accurate personal, academic and research details, upload required documents, pay the applicable fee, and submit before the closing date of 03 November 2026. Candidates must read the complete official notification PDF before applying, since this 9-post drive is distinct from TISS's earlier, smaller Assistant Professor cycle (2 posts, closed 15 September 2026) under a different advertisement number, and eligibility criteria differ meaningfully between the Professor, Associate Professor and Assistant Professor tiers.

Varies by post and cadre: Ph.D. in the relevant subject as per UGC Regulations 2018, with 8-10 years' teaching/research experience for Professor and Associate Professor posts (Associate Professor additionally requires 7 publications and a research score of 75); Master's Degree with minimum 55% marks in the relevant subject, plus NET/SLET/SET or Ph.D. as per UGC Regulations 2018, for Assistant Professor posts.
