Gautam Buddha University in Greater Noida has invited applications for one Professor position on deputation basis in the Department of Electronics and Communication Technology under its School of Information and Communication Technology.
The recruitment is not a general faculty vacancy for fresh PhD holders or candidates seeking direct appointment as Professor. The essential eligibility requires the applicant to already be serving as a Professor at Academic Level 14 in a government university or higher educational institution, in addition to holding a PhD in the relevant field.
Applications, along with complete bio-data and supporting documents, must reach the Registrar of Gautam Buddha University on or before August 31, 2026, up to 5:30 PM through Speed Post, Registered Post or courier.
Candidates can read the official GBU Professor-on-Deputation recruitment advertisement for the complete eligibility conditions, deputation terms and application requirements.

These details come from GBU’s official recruitment advertisement and current faculty-recruitment page.
Who can apply?
GBU specifies two essential conditions.
The applicant must have:
- A PhD in the relevant field
- Be serving as a Professor at Academic Level 14 in a government university or higher educational institution
This makes the recruitment substantially narrower than a standard open faculty recruitment. It is intended for an existing senior academic seeking appointment at GBU on deputation.
What experience does GBU prefer?
Alongside the essential qualifications, GBU lists several desirable areas of experience.
One of the notable preferences is experience in device fabrication and characterisation, along with research-development expertise in applications connected with the semiconductor domain.
GBU also lists experience in:
- Conducting research across different academic fields
- Organising academic conferences and seminars
- Leadership-development programmes
- Research-methodology training
- Orientation programmes
- Holding administrative positions within the university system
These are listed as desirable qualifications, not replacements for the essential PhD and Academic Level 14 requirements.
Is this a regular Professor appointment?
No. The advertisement specifically describes the vacancy as a Professor on deputation basis.
Applicants should therefore not interpret this as a conventional direct recruitment process for a permanent faculty appointment.
The notice requires applications to be forwarded through the proper channel along with a No Objection Certificate from the concerned department.
What will the selected Professor be paid?
GBU’s advertisement does not advertise a standalone fixed monthly salary for this recruitment.
Instead, it states that the selected candidate will receive deputation allowance over the last pay drawn, in accordance with Uttar Pradesh government rules. The applicant is also required to attach a last pay certificate. Other applicable perks will be paid as provided under the relevant rules.
Candidates should therefore avoid interpreting this vacancy as offering a new advertised salary package comparable with a direct-recruitment post.
What documents are required?
The official notice says the application should contain complete bio-data along with all relevant documents relating to experience and educational qualifications.
It specifically requires:
- Application forwarded through the proper channel
- No Objection Certificate from the concerned department
- Complete bio-data
- Educational-qualification documents
- Experience documents
- Last pay certificate
GBU’s current recruitment page lists the detailed Professor advertisement but does not separately list a prescribed application form for this vacancy. The advertisement itself asks eligible candidates to send their application along with bio-data and the required supporting records.
How should the application be submitted?
GBU permits applications through:
- Speed Post
- Registered Post
- Courier
The application should be sent to:
The Registrar
Gautam Buddha University
Greater Noida
Gautam Budh Nagar – 201312
Uttar Pradesh, India
The university’s official recruitment advertisement says the application should reach the Registrar on or before August 31 at 5:30 PM.
Candidates applying close to the deadline should therefore account for delivery time rather than treating August 31 merely as a dispatch date.
Does GBU specify an application fee?
The official Professor-on-deputation advertisement reviewed by Pulse of Noida does not state an application fee.
Applicants should rely on the current GBU recruitment page and any subsequent official notice rather than assuming a fee based on other GBU recruitment advertisements.
Is there an age limit?
The August 6 Professor-on-deputation advertisement does not specify an age limit for this vacancy.
This should not be interpreted as PON confirming that no other deputation-related age condition could apply under governing rules. Applicants should check the official recruitment page for any later clarification and, if necessary, seek confirmation from GBU before applying.
What is the selection process?
The advertisement reviewed by PON does not specify a written examination, interview schedule or detailed selection methodology.
The published story should therefore not speculate about how shortlisted or eligible candidates will ultimately be assessed.
One terminology difference applicants may notice
GBU’s detailed advertisement and recruitment webpage identify the vacancy under the Department of Electronics and Communication Technology.
However, the newspaper-advertisement copy included on the second page of the same official PDF uses Electronics and Communication Engineering.
Pulse of Noida is using Electronics and Communication Technology because that is the terminology used in the detailed vacancy section and on GBU’s current recruitment webpage.
Applicants concerned about how the department should be entered in their application can verify the wording directly with GBU.
Check for updates before dispatching the application
GBU’s official recruitment page currently lists the Professor-on-deputation vacancy under Faculty Recruitment and links directly to Advertisement No. GBU/Admn./2026/07.
Applicants should check that page again before dispatching their documents in case GBU publishes a clarification, corrigendum or other recruitment update.
Candidate takeaway
This is a specialised senior-academic deputation opportunity, not an entry-level or open-market teaching vacancy.
The core eligibility is:
- PhD in a relevant field
- Currently serving as Professor at Academic Level 14
- Employment in a government university or higher educational institution
- Application routed through the proper channel with NOC
GBU is seeking one Professor for its Electronics and Communication Technology department, and applications must reach the Registrar by 5:30 PM on August 31, 2026.
