What is the eligibility criteria for the post of assistant professor of MBA and how can I apply for it?

Ph.D. or equivalent in relevant field with first class or similar qualification is the bare minimum requirement for all faculty jobs (in terms of grades, etc.). Applicants must have received a first-class or 60 percent on their master's degree or equivalent qualifying examinations, as well as a very strong academic record throughout their undergraduate and graduate studies.

In addition, for the following reasons:

Having a minimum of ten years of teaching/research/industrial experience, of which at least four years should have been at the level of Associate Professor in IITs, IIMs, IISc Bangalore, NITIE Mumbai, and IISERs, or at an equivalent level in any other Indian or foreign institution/institutions of comparable standards, is required for the position of Professor.

As an Associate Professor, you must have a minimum of 6 years of teaching/research/industrial experience, with at least 3 of those years being at the Assistant Professor or equivalent level.

Assistant Professor: A minimum of three years of teaching, research, or industry experience is required for this position (excluding however the experience gained while pursuing Ph.D). Candidates who have received their Ph.D. from prestigious institutions, on the other hand, may be exempt from the three-year work experience requirement on a case-by-case basis, depending on their academic qualifications. Candidates may be given a one-year contract job as a Visiting Assistant Professor or a Lecturer position based on their qualifications and experience.

Hi Nimisha,

You have posted the same query twice. Please read the response. If you have any further query, feel free to ask. The pay scale of Assistant Professor starts from Rs.17.56 lakhs. So if you are eligible, the profession is noble and rewarding.

In order to become an assistant professor in any of the IIMs, you need to obtain a PhD with an excellent academic background. To become eligible as a full-time faculty at any IIM you must have a doctorate in management or equivalent Fellow Program in Management (FPM) from any of the IIMs or XLRI. Candidates without a PhD can also join IIMs to teach as part-time or full-time guest faculty on contract appointments but cannot become permanent faculty at the IIMs till they get the doctorate degree.

To apply, you need to visit the official websites of the respective IIMs. They usually advertise/invite candidates to fill their vacant positions. You can directly apply by posting your updated resume.

Hope it helps! Best wishes.
