Overview
About this notification
Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission is recruiting five unreserved Assistant Professors in Anthropology for the college cadre of the Department of Higher Education under advertisement 61/9-2026. Appointments are job-trainee engagements under the state fixed-remuneration scheme, paying ₹35,000 monthly. Applicants need a good academic record and a recognized master’s degree in the relevant subject with at least 55% marks or the equivalent grade. The notice permits specified five-percentage-point relaxations for eligible reserved and disability categories and qualifying older master’s-degree PhD holders. NET conducted by UGC or CSIR, or the accepted accredited equivalent, is normally required. The advertised PhD exemption is conditional: the listed pre-July 2009 registration route requires regular-mode study, external thesis evaluation, an open viva, specified PhD publications and conference presentations, certified by the appropriate university authority. Do not assume that any PhD automatically removes the examination requirement. The normal age range is 18–45 on 1 January 2026, subject to the state-category and service provisions. Applications and online fee payment close at 11:59 PM IST on 16 October 2026. Use the actual HPPSC OTR recruitment login, select this advertisement, upload degree, marks, test or exemption and age evidence, complete the ORA and pay the ₹600 non-refundable fee. The selection scheme includes the advertised screening or descriptive subject-aptitude assessment and personality test. Originals are checked at verification, and regular serving employees need an employer NOC.
