JPSC Assistant Professor Recruitment 2026 Overview

These dates and the 90-post total are stated in JPSC’s official press release for Advertisement No. 07/2026. (JPSC)

What Is JPSC Assistant Professor Recruitment 2026?

This recruitment is specifically for Assistant Professor posts in various Super-Speciality Departments of Government Medical Colleges in Jharkhand.

It should therefore not be confused with every recruitment carrying the designation “Assistant Professor”.

In 2026, JPSC is simultaneously listing several academic recruitments, including:

• Assistant Professor in Medical Colleges – Super-Speciality, 07/2026
• Assistant Professor in Government Engineering Colleges – Backlog, 02/2026
• Lecturer in Government Polytechnic/Women’s Polytechnic – Regular, 04/2026
• Lecturer in Government Polytechnic/Women’s Polytechnic – Backlog, 03/2026

All four remain separately listed in JPSC’s recruitment section. (JPSC)

This distinction is important because a search for “JPSC Assistant Professor 2026” can return information from several different recruitments.

JPSC Assistant Professor Vacancy 2026

The official JPSC press release specifies 90 Assistant Professor posts for the Super-Speciality departments of Government Medical Colleges. (JPSC)

These are regular appointments, not temporary contractual vacancies.

The relevant administrative department is the:

Health, Medical Education and Family Welfare Department, Government of Jharkhand.

Candidates should therefore check Advertisement No. 07/2026 whenever searching for information about these 90 medical-college Assistant Professor posts.

JPSC Assistant Professor Important Dates

JPSC explicitly instructed candidates to study the detailed advertisement and application instructions before beginning the application process. (JPSC)

Is JPSC Assistant Professor Application 2026 Still Open?

No.

The online application deadline under Advertisement No. 07/2026 was 12 May 2026 at 5 PM. Fee payment closed on 14 May, while the prescribed hard copy had to be submitted by 25 May 2026. (JPSC)

As of August 2026, the recruitment continues to appear in the Latest Recruitments/Openings section of the JPSC website, but the original application period has ended. (JPSC)

JPSC Assistant Professor Eligibility

This is a medical super-speciality recruitment, so candidates should not confuse its eligibility with ordinary university Assistant Professor recruitment based on a Master’s degree, NET or PhD.

The relevant qualifications are specialist/super-specialist medical qualifications applicable to the concerned department. Recruitment summaries based on Advertisement No. 07/2026 identify DM/M.Ch./DNB/DrNB or the relevant recognised super-speciality qualification, depending on the post. (GovtJobGuru.in)

The exact qualification must be checked department-wise in Advertisement No. 07/2026, because eligibility can differ according to the concerned medical super-speciality.

JPSC Assistant Professor Medical College Recruitment

The recruitment concerns Government Medical Colleges functioning under Jharkhand’s medical education system.

The basic purpose is to recruit faculty for Super-Speciality Departments, where teaching is combined with specialist clinical responsibilities.

Such departments require candidates with advanced medical qualifications beyond the basic MBBS and general postgraduate level.

JPSC Assistant Professor Super-Speciality Posts

The phrase “Super Specialist Department” is explicitly used by JPSC in the title of Advertisement No. 07/2026. (JPSC)

Candidates searching Google may therefore use several variations:

• JPSC Assistant Professor 2026
• JPSC Assistant Professor vacancy
• JPSC medical college vacancy
• JPSC Assistant Professor medical college
• JPSC 07/2026
• JPSC super speciality recruitment
• JPSC Assistant Professor notification

All of these searches can reasonably be served by the same authoritative page.

JPSC 07/2026 Notification

The advertisement number is:

Advt. No. 07/2026

The JPSC recruitment page contains:

• Press Release dated 15 April 2026
• Advertisement dated 15 April 2026. (JPSC)

When checking future updates, candidates should search by the advertisement number because this removes confusion with JPSC’s other Assistant Professor recruitments.

JPSC Assistant Professor Age Limit

Recruitment summaries based on the official advertisement report a minimum age of 30 years, with the upper age limit for unreserved/EWS candidates extending to 45 years, subject to category-wise relaxations under Jharkhand government rules. (GovtJobGuru.in)

Candidates should use the age-calculation date and relaxation provisions in the detailed Advertisement No. 07/2026 when determining individual eligibility.

The general principle is:

Category

Date of birth

Relevant cut-off date

Applicable relaxation

=

Final age eligibility

Do not calculate eligibility merely from your age on the date of application.

JPSC Assistant Professor Salary

Recruitment information for Advertisement No. 07/2026 identifies the post with the applicable Assistant Professor government pay structure, including Pay Level 11 / the corresponding ₹15,600–39,100 + Grade Pay ₹6,600 legacy scale reference. (JOB JUNCTION)

Actual monthly remuneration consists of the applicable basic pay together with allowances admissible under Jharkhand government rules.

Therefore, candidates should distinguish between:

Pay Level

and

actual in-hand salary

because allowances and deductions affect the amount received each month.

JPSC Assistant Professor Application Fee

Recruitment summaries of Advertisement No. 07/2026 report:

• ₹600 for UR/EWS/OBC categories;
• ₹150 for Jharkhand SC/ST candidates;
• exemption for eligible PwD candidates,

subject to the detailed conditions of the advertisement. (JOB JUNCTION)

Because fee concessions depend on category and domicile conditions, candidates should always refer to the advertisement applicable to their own category.

JPSC Assistant Professor Selection Process

This recruitment should not automatically be assumed to follow the Civil Services-style:

Prelims → Mains → Interview

process.

Assistant Professor recruitment is a specialised direct-recruitment process governed by the academic/medical recruitment conditions prescribed for the post.

Candidates should therefore monitor JPSC specifically for:

• scrutiny notices;
• document verification;
• eligibility lists;
• interview programmes;
• recommendations,

depending on the procedure ultimately used for Advertisement No. 07/2026.

JPSC’s own role is to conduct recruitment examinations and interviews for government posts in Jharkhand. (JPSC)

Documents Candidates Should Keep Ready

Applicants should preserve the documents submitted during the recruitment process, particularly because academic and professional eligibility can require detailed verification.

Important records generally include:

• submitted online application;
• OTR details;
• fee receipt;
• proof of date of birth;
• MBBS qualification;
• postgraduate qualification;
• super-speciality qualification;
• medical registration;
• category certificate where applicable;
• experience certificates where required;
• NOC where applicable;
• hard-copy submission proof.

Candidates should rely on the document list prescribed in Advertisement No. 07/2026 for final verification requirements.

Why Hard-Copy Submission Was Important

Unlike a completely paperless application process, JPSC’s press release specifically prescribed a hard-copy submission deadline of 25 May 2026 at 5 PM. (JPSC)

Therefore, merely completing the online application was not necessarily the final procedural step.

Candidates who applied should preserve:

• postal/courier receipt;
• acknowledgement if available;
• copy of submitted application;
• supporting documents sent to JPSC.

These documents may become important if a discrepancy arises during scrutiny.

JPSC OTR and Assistant Professor Recruitment

The official press release states that applications were invited through the One Time Registration (OTR) System available through the JPSC website. (JPSC)

The sequence was broadly:

OTR registration

↓

Recruitment application

↓

Document upload

↓

Fee payment

↓

Final submission

↓

Hard-copy submission

Candidates using JPSC OTR for other recruitments can also refer to LearnPro’s How to Fill JPSC One Time Registration Form guide.

JPSC Assistant Professor 07/2026 Latest Status

As of the latest JPSC website check, Advertisement No. 07/2026 continues to appear under Latest Recruitments/Openings. Its dedicated page presently displays the April press release and advertisement. (JPSC)

The page does not presently display, in the material indexed by JPSC, a later:

• interview programme;
• result;
• recommendation list.

Therefore candidates who applied should monitor the same Advertisement No. 07/2026 recruitment page rather than repeatedly searching for a new recruitment page.

JPSC Engineering College Assistant Professor 2026

There is a separate recruitment for Assistant Professor in Government Engineering Colleges (Backlog) under Advertisement No. 02/2026.

JPSC issued its press release and advertisement on 13 February 2026. (JPSC)

This is completely separate from the 90-post medical recruitment.

A candidate searching JPSC Assistant Professor recruitment 2026 should therefore always check the department before acting on an eligibility or deadline claim.

JPSC Polytechnic Lecturer Recruitment 2026

JPSC also issued two large teaching recruitments for Government Polytechnic institutions:

• Regular Lecturer – Advt. 04/2026
• Backlog Lecturer – Advt. 03/2026

Both were notified on 13 February 2026, followed by corrigenda dated 20 February and press releases dated 16 March 2026. (JPSC)

These are Lecturer posts, not the Assistant Professor posts under Advertisement No. 07/2026.

This distinction matters because students searching “JPSC teaching vacancy 2026” may encounter all three recruitment categories.

Major JPSC Teaching Recruitments in 2026

All four are listed separately on the official JPSC website. (JPSC)

How to Check JPSC Assistant Professor Result 2026

Candidates should use Advertisement No. 07/2026 as the primary identifier.

When JPSC publishes a later update, it may appear under headings such as:

• Press Release
• Scrutiny Result
• Eligible Candidates
• Rejected Candidates
• Document Verification
• Interview Programme
• Recommendation

Candidates should therefore avoid searching only:

assistant professor result

because that may return older university, engineering or medical recruitment results.

Instead search:

JPSC 07/2026 result

or

JPSC Assistant Professor 07/2026

Is JPSC Assistant Professor 2026 a Civil Services Exam?

No.

The recruitment is conducted by JPSC, but it is not the Jharkhand Combined Civil Services Examination.

JPSC is the constitutional recruitment commission responsible for various government recruitments in the state, not only the Civil Services Examination. (JPSC)

This is why JPSC simultaneously conducts recruitment for:

• Civil Services;
• doctors and medical faculty;
• engineering faculty;
• lecturers;
• prosecutors;
• inspectors;
• scientific officers;
• other government posts. (JPSC)

JPSC Assistant Professor Recruitment vs JPSC Civil Services

Candidates preparing for the Civil Services examination should therefore not mix Assistant Professor recruitment updates into their CCE preparation schedule.

Other Current JPSC Recruitments

JPSC’s current recruitment page also lists several other recruitments, including:

• Combined Civil Services 2025 – 01/2026;
• Backlog CCE 2025 – 05/2026;
• Backlog CCE 2023 – 06/2026;
• Drug Inspector – 12/2025;
• Assistant Director/Senior Scientific Officer;
• Assistant Public Prosecutor;
• Project Manager;
• Inspector of Factories;
• Boiler Inspector;
• Forest Range Officer;
• Assistant Conservator of Forest. (JPSC)

This makes JPSC Recruitment 2026 itself a useful broader search cluster, while the Assistant Professor page should remain focused specifically on teaching/medical recruitment.
