UCMS Assistant Professor Recruitment 2026 - 54 Vacancies

This is a faculty recruitment, so eligibility depends on the specialty you apply for. The qualification is specialty-wise: a clinical department will ask for a different postgraduate degree than a department such as Bio-Statistics, where an M.Sc. with Ph.D. fits. Experience is also specialty-linked. The prescribed teaching experience is 3 years, with specialty-specific conditions, so check the exact experience clause for your department before paying the fee.

Because the age limit is not stated in the data available here, do not assume a cut-off. Read the age clause in the official notification, note the reference date it uses, and then run your date of birth through the age calculator. If you claim SC/ST or OBC relaxation, apply only the 5-year or 3-year figure respectively, and keep the certificate ready.

• Assistant Professor (most specialties): Level 11, basic pay ₹67,700.
• Bio-Statistics: Academic Pay Level 10, basic pay ₹57,700.
• In-hand: Depends on DA, HRA and other allowances applicable at joining. See official notification.

This is a regular salaried post, so the employee contribution under the National Pension System is 10% of basic pay plus DA. On the basic pay alone that is ₹6,770 for Level 11, before DA is added. This assumes the post is covered by NPS, which the notification data here does not confirm, so check which pension scheme applies. Income tax is deducted separately according to your slab and chosen tax regime. To model your own take-home, use the salary calculator.

Promotion from Assistant Professor to the next faculty grade depends on completed service, publications and the institution's promotion rules. The notification data does not give a promotion timeline, so confirm it with UCMS before relying on any figure. A faculty post in a Delhi medical college also allows private practice only where the institution's rules permit it, which is another clause to verify in the notification.

• Uploading a photo or signature in the wrong size or format. Check the limits on the portal and resize before you upload.
• Entering incomplete qualification or experience details. For a faculty post, dates and designations of teaching experience must match your experience certificates.
• Choosing the wrong specialty. The qualification and experience conditions differ by department, so a mismatch can make the application ineligible.
• Calculating age wrongly or applying relaxation incorrectly. Only SC/ST (5 years) and OBC (3 years) relaxation is confirmed here, and it needs a valid certificate.
• Claiming a category without proof. Keep the certificate in the prescribed format ready.
• Waiting until the last day. Portals slow down near the deadline, and a missed submission cannot be corrected.

The data available here does not give a timeline for document verification, medical examination, probation or joining. Expect the usual faculty appointment steps of verification of originals, an offer letter and joining formalities, and treat the exact order and dates as something to confirm from UCMS communications.

The post is based in Delhi. Posting is by department or specialty, so your department is fixed by the post you applied for. Keep your documents, experience certificates and relieving papers from your current employer ready so you can join without delay.

University College of Medical Sciences (UCMS) is a medical college in Delhi, affiliated to the University of Delhi and funded by the Government of NCT of Delhi. It was established in 1971 and is associated with the Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, which serves as its main teaching hospital.

The college runs undergraduate and postgraduate medical programmes along with allied health and basic science teaching. Its link with a large public teaching hospital means faculty combine teaching with patient care and research, which is why recruitment is specialty-wise and experience-based.

An Assistant Professor at a medical college teaches undergraduate and postgraduate students, guides practicals and clinical postings, and takes part in assessments. In clinical departments the role also includes patient care in the associated hospital, while in non-clinical or support departments such as Bio-Statistics the work is classroom, laboratory and research focused.

Faculty also take on research, guide dissertations, and contribute to departmental administration. The role is largely desk, classroom and ward based, with no uniform requirement stated in the notification data. Reporting is to the head of the department, and public interaction depends on whether the department sees patients.
