JPSC Assistant Professor (Degree Colleges) — Jharkhand Eligibility Guide
JPSC recruits Assistant Professors for Jharkhand government degree colleges/universities. JPSC also separately runs Engineering College, Medical College, and Polytechnic Assistant Professor/Lecturer cadres — this article covers the classic Arts/Science/Commerce degree-college track.
- Post: Assistant Professor, Universities/Government Degree Colleges, Jharkhand
- Conducted by: JPSC
- Eligibility: Master's (55%, 50% SC/ST/OBC/PwD) + UGC-NET/CSIR-NET OR JET (Jharkhand's own NET-equivalent) OR PhD-exempt
- Selection: academic evaluation → document verification → interview (no fixed marks table found for this specific cadre)
- Notable: the degree-college recruitment still runs under a 2018 advertisement (04/2018 Regular, 05/2018 Backlog) — JPSC was still declaring subject-wise results as recently as December 2025
The degree-college Assistant Professor drive is not a fresh 2025-26 notification — it's still processing under Advertisement No. 04/2018 (Regular) and 05/2018 (Backlog), first issued in 2018, with subject-wise results (e.g., Nagpuri) still being declared as recently as December 2025.
Overview
| Post | Assistant Professor, Jharkhand degree colleges |
| Conducted by | JPSC |
| Governing advertisement | Advt. 04/2018 (Regular) & 05/2018 (Backlog) — still processing |
| Eligibility | Master's 55%/50% + NET/JET/PhD-exempt |
Eligibility
- Master's degree, min 55% (50% SC/ST/OBC/PwD), from a UGC-recognized university.
- UGC-NET/CSIR-NET, OR JET (Jharkhand Eligibility Test, JPSC's own state-level NET-equivalent), OR PhD (UGC 2009/2016 regs) — exempts NET/JET.
- *Age limit for the degree-college cadre specifically was not confirmed — figures found were for the separate engineering/medical cadres, do not reuse those.
Selection Process & Exam Pattern
Three-stage process confirmed directly on JPSC's official pages: academic evaluation → document verification → interview. *Exact marks weightage for the degree-college cadre wasn't visible in official pages — an "80 marks academic + 20 marks interview" figure found elsewhere describes the separate engineering-college cadre, not this one.
Syllabus
Covers 43 subjects including regional languages (Nagpuri, Kurmali, Khortha, Panchpargania, Kharia, Kurukh, Santhali). The feeder JET exam (for NET/SET-equivalent eligibility): Paper I General Aptitude (50Q/100 marks/1hr) + Paper II Subject-specific (100Q/200 marks/2hrs), +2/correct, no negative marking. *JET figures are secondary-sourced, not from a primary JPSC PDF.
Pay Scale
*Not confirmed specifically for the degree-college cadre. The separate engineering-college Assistant Professor cadre uses Pay Level 10 (₹57,700 entry) — likely similar for degree colleges (UGC-standard), but this is inference, not a sourced fact for this specific post.

What is JET?
The Jharkhand Eligibility Test — JPSC's own state-level equivalent of UGC-NET, one of the routes (along with national NET or a PhD) to becoming eligible for JPSC Assistant Professor posts.
Is this a fresh 2026 recruitment?
No — the degree-college Assistant Professor drive is still processing under a 2018 advertisement, with subject-wise results being declared as recently as December 2025.
Sources
The 2018-advertisement/ongoing-rollout fact and JET's existence are confirmed from JPSC's own site. Exact age limit, marks weightage, and pay level for this specific degree-college cadre are unverified — do not import figures from JPSC's separate engineering/medical/polytechnic cadres.
