How to Apply Visit the recruitment portal: https://audrec.samarth.edu.in/ Click on the relevant position notification (Professor, Associate Professor, or Assistant Professor) Create a new account using your email ID and mobile number Log in and fill the complete online application form with your academic and professional details Upload a recent passport-size photograph (white background, 4×6 cm, less than 500 KB in JPG/PNG format) — use the image resizer tool if your photo exceeds size limits Upload a scanned signature in the same format (less than 500 KB) Attach scanned copies of: PhD/Master's degree certificate, research publications list, experience certificates, caste certificate (if SC/ST/OBC), and any other relevant academic documents Review the application form for accuracy — incorrect information may lead to rejection Pay the application fee (₹1,000 for General/OBC; free for SC/ST) through the online payment gateway Submit the form; the system will generate an acknowledgement with your application number — save this for future reference Common Mistakes That Get Applications Rejected Incorrect photo/signature format: Portal accepts only JPG/PNG under 500 KB. Photos with border, watermark, or coloured background are rejected. Always compress before upload using the image resizer tool. Missing or incomplete research profile: Faculty positions require documented research contributions. Applicants omitting publication list, research projects, or citations face automatic rejection. Paying wrong fee amount: ₹1,000 for General/OBC candidates; ₹0 for SC/ST. Paying the full amount as SC/ST or vice versa delays verification and may cause rejection. Uploading unattested/uncertified degree copies: Degree certificates must be attested or issued with the institution's official seal. Mere scans of personal copies are not accepted. Applying in wrong category: Selecting General when eligible for SC/ST/OBC (or vice versa) invalidates the application. Category cannot be changed after submission. Late submission after final date: The portal closes precisely at the announced deadline. No applications are accepted after that time, regardless of technical issues.
