Kokrajhar University, Kokrajhar, Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC), Assam, has issued Registrar's Advertisement No. KU/12/Reg./Notice/2026/2342 dated 11 November 2026 for the Physical Education Course in its Department of Sports & Physical Education. The advertisement covers 14 positions across six distinct roles, from Head of Department and faculty appointments to specialist Sports Trainer, Yoga Trainer and Dietician positions. Applications, a detailed curriculum vitae and supporting documents are to be emailed to the Registrar by 21 November 2026. Candidates must also hand in a self-attested hard copy of their application, CV and supporting documents on their interview day. The university will communicate the interview date separately.
The employer is Kokrajhar University, not a national recruitment commission, an external sports federation or the Government of India's Ministry of Education. The appointing office in this notice is the Office of the Registrar, Kokrajhar University, Kokrajhar, Assam 783370. The notice is signed by Dr. Banabina Brahma, Registrar (i/c). It concerns roles in the university's physical education course; the advertised numbers should not be treated as vacancies in other university departments.

🥧 Kokrajhar University post-wise advertised vacancies
| Advertised position | Vacancies |
|---|---|
| Head of Department | 1 |
| Associate Professor | 2 |
| Assistant Professor | 6 |
| Sports Trainer | 3 |
| Yoga Trainer | 1 |
| Dietician | 1 |
Total: 14 posts. The six figures are distinct, non-overlapping post counts and sum to the university's advertised total. Assistant Professor accounts for 6 of 14 posts, and Sports Trainer for 3 of 14. Together these two categories represent 9 of the 14 positions, but their qualification routes are different. The advertisement does not give UR/SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PwBD or sport-specific reservation subdivisions; do not assume any distribution beyond the post totals above.
The Head of Department applicant must satisfy all the requirements printed in the advertisement:
Experience interpretation: The stated five years is a subset of the eight years, not an additional five-year period. The printed test is 8 years total teaching, of which at least 5 years are in the specified physical-education institute or college-department environment. A candidate with eight years in general teaching but fewer than five in the required setting should not assume eligibility. The Ph.D. is explicitly mandatory for this role; it is not merely a preferred academic achievement.
Applicants require M.P.Ed. or equivalent with at least 55% marks or Grade B under the same seven-point UGC scale. They also require at least eight years' teaching and/or research experience in a qualifying academic research position equivalent to Assistant Professor in a university, college, accredited research institution or industry. The period spent on Ph.D. research must be excluded from this experience count. The notice also requires evidence of published work and a minimum of five publications, in the form of books and/or research/policy papers. Other requirements laid down by the UGC, affiliating body or State Government for Associate Professors remain applicable.
Two independent evidence tests matter here: eight eligible years of teaching/research service and five qualifying publications. Five publications do not replace the service requirement, and Ph.D. research time cannot be automatically added to the eight years. Conversely, the specific Ph.D.-degree condition printed for the Head of Department is not separately printed as a universal mandatory qualification for Associate Professors in this advertisement; applicants must still examine whatever additional UGC/affiliating-body requirements are applicable to their case.
Applicants must hold M.P.Ed. or an equivalent degree with 55% marks or equivalent Grade B in the UGC seven-point letter-grade scale. The advertisement also applies any additional stipulations prescribed by the UGC, affiliating body or State Government for Assistant Professors. It does not separately print a minimum number of teaching years or a five-publication threshold for this role. Do not transfer the Head of Department or Associate Professor experience and publication rules to Assistant Professor applications without a relevant applicable rule.
The notice offers alternative qualifications, not a combined degree-and-diploma obligation:
Applicants should identify the particular sport covered by their academic degree or coaching award and substantiate it in the detailed CV. The university's advertisement does not give a sport-by-sport vacancy list, name three designated sports or demand that candidates possess every alternative at once. Likewise, it does not prescribe a universal 55% threshold for Sports Trainer applicants in the text of this notice.
The expressly stated educational requirement is Post Graduate qualification or Post Graduate Diploma in Yoga. The subject Yoga matters; a postgraduate award in a wholly unrelated subject is not the qualification stated for this specialist role. The two routes are alternatives. No minimum experience period or specific percentage is printed for Yoga Trainer in this advertisement.
The required route is Post Graduate qualification or Post Graduate Diploma in the concerned subject. The advertisement does not name a particular degree title or department-specific discipline, nor does it print a fixed internship, registration, or minimum-years condition for Dietician. A candidate should present the exact subject and syllabus of the award clearly in the CV rather than assuming that any unrelated postgraduate degree meets the wording 'concerned subject'.
| Role | Academic route in the notice | Experience / additional test |
|---|---|---|
| Head of Department | M.P.Ed./M.P.E. with 55% or UGC Grade B and Ph.D. in Physical Education | 8 years teaching; 5 within a physical-education institute/college department |
| Associate Professor | M.P.Ed./equivalent with 55% or UGC Grade B | 8 years qualifying teaching and/or research excluding Ph.D. research time; 5 publications |
| Assistant Professor | M.P.Ed./equivalent with 55% or UGC Grade B | No separate minimum experience or publication count stated; UGC/other stipulations apply |
| Sports Trainer | Physical Education Bachelor's/Master's with a game/sport specialisation or Diploma/PG Diploma in sports coaching | Sport-specific award relevant to the alternative chosen |
| Yoga Trainer | PG qualification or PG Diploma in Yoga | No numeric service requirement in the notice |
| Dietician | PG qualification or PG Diploma in the concerned subject | Exact concerned subject not separately defined |
UGC grade equivalence: For the three academic teaching/leadership posts, the university uses the precise pairing 55% or equivalent Grade B in its specified seven-point scale. The advertisement does not give a free-standing CGPA-to-percentage conversion formula. Applicants whose transcript uses another system should follow the credential's official conversion/equivalence documentation rather than inventing a numerical percentage.
No published category-wise relaxation table: The two-page advertisement does not print age limits, category-specific mark relaxations, reservation breakups or a general minimum age. Do not assume those values from unrelated faculty advertisements or other recruitment cycles. The stated UGC/affiliating body/State Government conditions should be considered only as actually applicable, not as an excuse to import requirements from an unrelated post.
The salary clause in this advertisement is simply 'Salary will be negotiable'. No pay matrix level, fixed consolidated monthly amount, annual package, grade pay, HRA, TA/DA, pension, increments or allowances are printed for any of the six roles. Accordingly, this notice cannot support a numeric comparison chart for pay. Candidates should avoid interpreting a negotiable salary as an assured government pay-scale appointment.
The document also does not explicitly state regular versus contractual tenure, the duration of engagement, probation or the number of permissible extensions. These terms should not be guessed from the job title or the fact that the notice uses email applications. Any offer of appointment should be checked for the actual service terms supplied by the university.
Step 1 — Choose the correct post. Identify one of the six advertised designations and verify the matching qualifications. Academic faculty/leadership conditions and trainer/dietetics conditions cannot be freely interchanged.
Step 2 — Prepare an application and detailed CV. The university expressly asks for a detailed CV mentioning educational qualifications. For a stronger and more readily verifiable submission, make the relevant qualification immediately visible: M.P.Ed./M.P.E., Ph.D., eight-year record and its five-year physical-education component, five published works, sport specialisation/coaching diploma, or Yoga/Dietetics postgraduate qualification, as applicable. These are ways to present the stated eligibility evidence, not separate application-form fields mandated by the notice.
Step 3 — Attach supporting documents. Provide records supporting the qualifications and claims in the application/CV. Where relevant, keep degree/marks records, experience certificates, publication evidence and coaching/sport documents consistent with what is stated in the CV. The advertisement does not specify a mandatory PDF filename, file-size limit or a prescribed document-order list.
Step 4 — Email the application and supporting material to registrarkokuniversity@gmail.com within 21 November 2026. The notice does not print a precise hour of closure, an online registration form URL, an application fee or a portal-payment link. Email submission is the stated initial method; do not substitute a guessed application portal.
Step 5 — Prepare the interview-day hard copy. The university explicitly directs applicants to submit a self-attested hard copy of the application, CV and supporting documents on the day of the interview. This is a second submission obligation, distinct from the email deadline. Do not confuse it with a requirement to mail hard copies by 21 November: the printed notice links that physical submission to the interview day, not to the email deadline.
| Event | Officially stated date / status |
|---|---|
| Original recruitment advertisement issued | 11 November 2026 |
| Deadline for emailed application with CV and supporting documents | 21 November 2026; no time printed |
| Interview | Date to be communicated later |
| Submission of self-attested physical application bundle | On the interview day |
The interview is expressly mentioned as the selection interaction; no written examination, CBT, skill-test marks distribution, interview marking scheme, venue or reporting time is announced in this notice. Applicants should await the university's communication rather than treating a date from another recruitment as applicable. The notice also does not state that all eligible applicants will automatically be interviewed or how many will be shortlisted.
The printed requirements are an application, a detailed CV mentioning educational qualifications, and supporting documents, first sent by email and subsequently handed in as a self-attested hard-copy set at interview. The advertisement does not prescribe a standard application-form annexure. Role-specific supporting evidence follows directly from the actual eligibility standards: a Physical Education postgraduate record and Ph.D./service evidence for Head of Department; qualifying teaching/research service plus five publications for Associate Professor; M.P.Ed./equivalent with marks or Grade B for Assistant Professor; specialist sport/coaching qualification for Sports Trainer; and relevant postgraduate or PG Diploma credentials for Yoga Trainer and Dietician.
