The public notification does not specify a single total vacancy number. Candidates should therefore not insert an assumed vacancy count into their applications or professional profiles. The number of positions can depend on academic-area requirements and institutional needs.
Educational qualification
The faculty recruitment is aimed at candidates with advanced academic qualifications in the relevant field. Current recruitment information identifies Ph.D. in the appropriate branch, with first class or equivalent in the preceding degree, as a key qualification requirement. The exact experience and academic criteria differ by faculty level, so candidates should read the full notification before deciding which position to select.
Professor applicants
Professor-level applicants should be prepared to demonstrate substantial teaching, research or relevant professional experience as prescribed by the institute. A strong application should clearly show the academic area, years of relevant experience, publications, research projects, teaching responsibilities and other contributions that correspond to the position.
Associate Professor applicants
Associate Professor applicants should check the required years of experience and evidence of academic and research contribution. The application should distinguish teaching experience from administrative or unrelated professional experience and provide publication details in a format that can be verified.
Assistant Professor applicants
Assistant Professor applicants should carefully check the applicable qualification route, including the Ph.D. requirement and first-class condition in the preceding degree. Grade-II may include the contractual category described in the current recruitment information. Candidates should select the level for which they actually satisfy the published conditions.

Selection process
Current recruitment information describes scrutiny and shortlisting followed by seminar and interview. Candidates should therefore prepare for both document-based evaluation and academic interaction. A faculty applicant may need to explain research interests, teaching approach, subject expertise and future research plans during the selection process.
How to prepare a strong faculty application
The online form should be treated as an academic dossier rather than a basic job application. Keep the CV consistent with the information entered into the portal. If the application asks for publications, use the same titles, journal details and dates as the supporting records. Avoid inflating experience or listing work that cannot be verified.
For teaching-focused experience, mention subjects taught, programme level, responsibilities and relevant curriculum work. For research, organise publications, projects, grants, conferences and collaborations clearly. Applicants with interdisciplinary profiles should explain the connection between their expertise and the academic area selected in the application.

How to prepare a stronger IIM Shillong application
Faculty applicants should treat the online application as an academic profile rather than a simple registration form. Before entering information, prepare one master document containing your education, teaching experience, research experience, publications, funded projects, consulting or industry work, academic administration and other relevant contributions. Use that document to keep the portal entries consistent.
Match your profile to the academic area
Subject matching is particularly important for faculty recruitment. A candidate should identify the academic area in which the strongest body of teaching and research evidence exists. For example, a profile centred on financial reporting and corporate finance should be presented differently from a profile focused on information systems or organisational behaviour. The application should make the connection between the candidate’s expertise and the selected area clear.
Prepare for the seminar
Shortlisted candidates should be prepared to explain one or more research contributions in a seminar-style setting. Select a research topic that represents your strongest work and prepare a clear explanation of the research question, methodology, findings and implications. Also prepare to answer questions about future research plans and possible teaching contributions.
Check experience before submission
Calculate teaching, research and professional experience carefully against the position-specific requirement. Keep appointment letters, experience certificates and other supporting records available. If there is any uncertainty about whether a particular period qualifies, use the wording of the official notification rather than assuming that every professional activity will count.

Final application review for faculty candidates
Before clicking the final submission button, compare the online profile with the master CV. Check employment dates, designation, degree names, university names and publication information one more time. A consistent application makes later document verification easier and reduces the risk of discrepancies.
Also confirm that the selected academic area reflects your strongest teaching and research background. If the portal permits more than one suitable choice under the notification, read the instructions carefully before making the selection. Do not submit multiple applications merely to increase the number of choices unless the official instructions expressly permit it.
After submission
Keep the application number and a PDF or printout of the submitted form. Monitor the institute’s official recruitment portal for shortlisting, seminar and interview communication. Candidates should also keep their original certificates and experience records ready because they may be requested during later stages.
Final checklist
Before submission, verify the academic area, faculty level, qualification, experience, publication record, documents and application details. Do not assume a vacancy number that is not stated in the public notification. The IIM Shillong recruitment portal currently shows the faculty opening as active through 31 October 2026.
