Pay Scale and Benefits
The post of Tutor (Nursing) carries Pay Level 6F, with a pay band ranging from ₹40,800 to ₹1,29,200. This falls comfortably in the range of a respectable teaching-grade government salary structure, and selected candidates will also be governed by the New Pension Scheme (NPS), which is standard for most new-age government and semi-government appointments now.
Selected candidates should also be mentally prepared to be posted at any College, Unit, Section, or Campus of the University — so this isn’t necessarily a fixed-location posting, and you should factor that into your decision before applying.
Selection Process
The selection for Tutor (Nursing) is a two-stage process:
| Written Test | 80 |
| Interview | 20 |
| Total | 100 |
Shortlisting Criteria for Interview:
This part is genuinely useful to know before you apply, because it tells you how competitive the written test stage is going to be.
- 20 candidates will be shortlisted for interview, per single post
- For every additional post within the same category, 5 more candidates will be added to the shortlist
So if a category has, say, 3 posts, you can expect roughly 20 + 5 + 5 = 30 candidates to be shortlisted for interview from that category, based on written test performance. This gives you a realistic sense of how many people you’re actually competing against once you clear the written stage.
The syllabus and exam pattern for the written test will be notified separately by the University — so keep checking the official website regularly once you’ve applied, because this detail hasn’t been released yet.
Application Fee
| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| General/Reserved Category Candidates | ₹1,000 (non-refundable) |
| PWD Candidates | Exempted (No fee) |
