BHU Recruitment October 2026

BHU Recruitment October 2026: Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Varanasi, has listed several temporary and project-related opportunities on its official Temporary Vacancy page. The current listing includes research, medical, technical and agriculture-related positions with deadlines falling between 14 and 18 October 2026. Since these are separate departmental advertisements, applicants must open the individual notice for the exact eligibility, remuneration, selection method and required documents.

This article summarises the openings visible in the university’s official listing as of 12 October 2026. It does not treat the positions as one combined recruitment or imply that one application covers all posts.

Openings and deadlines at a glance

Deadline warning: The School of Biotechnology Research Associate deadline shown in the listing is 12 October 2026, which is today. Confirm whether submissions are still being accepted before preparing an application. For the other posts, do not wait until the final day: departments may specify email, in-person, or other submission requirements in the individual notice.

1. Project Associate-I and Project Associate-II — Geophysics

The Department of Geophysics in BHU’s Institute of Science lists Project Associate-I and Project Associate-II opportunities with a deadline of 18 October 2026. These are research-project positions, so applicants should first read the individual advertisement to identify the project subject, accepted degrees, required experience, pay and application email. The public vacancy index does not display those details in its summary row.

Applicants can prepare an academic CV, degree records, research/project experience and relevant publications while checking the notice. Do not assume that the two associate levels have identical eligibility or compensation. Apply for the level for which your qualifications match the official criteria.

2. Senior Resident (Contractual) — National Centre of Ageing

The National Centre of Ageing at the Institute of Medical Sciences, BHU, lists a contractual Senior Resident opening with a last date of 15 October 2026. Medical recruitment can have specific discipline, registration, postgraduate qualification and experience requirements. Candidates must check the official notice for the exact speciality, eligibility conditions, remuneration, interview details and the list of documents to carry or submit.

Before applying, verify that your medical registration and postgraduate qualification, where required, are valid and relevant to the speciality in the notice. The title alone does not establish the speciality or the number of posts, so use the individual advertisement rather than a third-party summary to confirm those points.

3. Junior Research Fellow — Department of Physics

BHU’s Department of Physics, Institute of Science, lists a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) opening with a deadline of 14 October 2026. JRF eligibility and fellowship amount can vary with the funding scheme and project. Candidates should verify the exact degree discipline, minimum marks or examination qualification, project topic, fellowship amount, tenure and application procedure in the official notice.

A useful application pack may include an academic CV, degree certificates and marksheets, details of qualifying examinations if relevant, a short description of research interests and any documents specifically requested. Do not claim eligibility based only on the title “JRF”; the detailed advertisement controls.

4. Project Technician Support-I — Department of Urology

The Department of Urology at BHU’s Institute of Medical Sciences lists a Project Technician Support-I position, with applications due by 14 October 2026. This is a project-linked technical opening. Applicants should confirm the required educational level, technical skills, experience, salary and mode of application from the original notice. The vacancy-list summary does not provide a verified vacancy count or pay figure.

Applicants should match each stated qualification against their own records and prepare the documents requested by the department. A general CV may be supplemented by relevant technical experience, laboratory or clinical-project exposure, and certificates where these are expressly required.

5. Project Research Scientist-I (Non-Medical) — Department of Urology

The same department lists a Project Research Scientist-I (Non-Medical) position, also with a deadline of 14 October 2026. The “Non-Medical” label should not be used to infer the exact degree requirement: the individual notice will specify acceptable disciplines, research experience and any other criteria. Applicants should also confirm whether the position is funded for a defined project period and whether the application must be emailed or submitted in another way.

Research applicants can make their CV easier to assess by highlighting methods used, relevant project experience, publications and technical skills. These details should be accurate and supported by the candidate’s records.

6. Research Associate — Genetics and Plant Breeding

The Institute of Agricultural Sciences lists a Research Associate opportunity in the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding with a deadline of 14 October 2026. Applicants should consult the specific notice for accepted qualifications, research experience, the subject area, salary and selection method. Do not assume that a Research Associate post in one department has the same eligibility as a similarly named position elsewhere in BHU.

How to apply safely

1. Open the BHU official temporary-vacancy list linked below.
2. Find the exact post title and department; several vacancies have similar names.
3. Open the corresponding “Details” notice and read every page, including any application form or annexure.
4. Record the closing date, submission mode, email or postal address, qualifications, age criteria if any, salary and required attachments.
5. Prepare the application for that specific position. Do not send one generic application for multiple departments unless the notices explicitly allow it.
6. Check that files open correctly, are legible and use the required format or file size.
7. Submit before the stated deadline and retain proof of sending or receipt.
8. Use only contact information in the official advertisement for clarification.

Eligibility, pay and vacancy numbers: important clarification

The official BHU temporary-vacancy index confirms the post names, departments and dates summarised above, but its listing view does not show all the details needed to establish eligibility, exact vacancy count, age limit, application fee or salary for every role. Those particulars must be checked in the linked departmental notice. This article deliberately does not guess missing figures. If the detailed notice changes the deadline or terms, follow the latest official departmental update.

Documents to keep ready

• Updated résumé or CV.
• Educational certificates and marksheets relevant to the advertised post.
• Proof of experience, registration or qualifying examination, where required.
• Research publications or project details, if requested for research positions.
• Identity and category certificates, only where applicable and requested.
• Completed application form and any declaration or undertaking specified in the notice.

This is a preparation checklist, not a definitive document list for every vacancy. The individual advertisement takes precedence.

Applicant tracking sheet

Because these are separate departmental vacancies, track every application separately. Use one row per post and record the department, deadline, notice URL, qualification confirmed, submission method, contact email, documents sent and proof of submission. Do not copy an email address or eligibility requirement from one BHU department to another without checking the relevant advertisement.

For a final document check, compare the application form against the notice line by line. Confirm that names, dates, degree details and contact information are consistent across the form and supporting certificates. Save a PDF or screenshot of the submitted application or sent email where possible. If the official page lists an amendment, follow the latest version instead of relying on an older saved copy.

CareerSphere has also covered other current Uttar Pradesh opportunities, including University of Allahabad Junior Research Assistant Recruitment 2026, IIT Kanpur Project Technician Recruitment 2026 and KGMU Research Project Recruitment 2026. These are separate opportunities; always check each official notification for current dates and eligibility.
