1. Introduction

For many academic aspirants in Assam, a university faculty post is not just a job - it is long-term stability, social respect, and a chance to contribute to Assam’s higher education ecosystem without leaving the state. Opportunities like this do not come frequently, especially in newly established state universities.

Birangana Sati Sadhani Rajyik Vishwavidyalaya (BSSRV), Golaghat, has announced 14 faculty positions across Arts, Science, and Engineering disciplines. This recruitment is especially relevant for Ph.D. holders from Assam and the North-East who have been waiting for a regular UGC-scale teaching post within the state.

However, this is not a mass recruitment. It is competitive, documentation-heavy, and strictly UGC-driven. This article explains what the notification really means on the ground for Assam aspirants.
