Alerts and Updates for Visva-Bharati Recruitment Examination

On August 27, 2026, Visva-Bharati declared the list of candidates qualified in the written examination for Section Officer and Assistant/Senior Assistant posts, advertised under Advertisement No. 1/2023 (dated April 17, 2023) — a recruitment cycle still working through its stages more than three years after the original notice.

On August 25, 2026, Visva-Bharati's Department of Physical Education and Sport Science advertised a Research Assistant post under an ICSSR-sponsored minor research project, one of several short-term project-hire notices the university has posted through August 2026.

On August 14, 2026, the Department of Environmental Studies advertised for a Project Associate I position under a DST-sponsored research project, filled separately from the university's regular teaching and administrative recruitment tracks.

On August 6, 2026, Visva-Bharati released shortlists for Assistant Professor posts in the Department of Graphic Art and for an OBC-category Assistant Professor role in Vidya Bhavana's Education department, part of the ongoing 26-post teaching and library cadre recruitment drive begun earlier in 2026.

Visva-Bharati's biggest 2026 hiring drive was Advertisement No. 02/2026, dated 11 March 2026, for 26 teaching and library cadre posts: 1 Professor, 10 Associate Professors, 7 Assistant Professors and 8 Assistant Librarians. Applications were submitted online through the Samarth recruitment portal, and the window closed on 30 April 2026 at 11:59 pm.

Earlier, Advertisement No. 01/2026 dated 28 January 2026 covered senior administrative posts — Finance Officer, Internal Audit Officer, Director of Physical Education and Security Officer. Its last date was extended to 23 February 2026 and it is now closed; shortlists and interview notices for these posts appear on the university's Career at VB page.

Department-level openings are live right now. The Department of Geography advertised Research Assistant and Project Investigator positions on 15 June 2026, and CMELLCS advertised Guest Faculty in French on 17 June 2026. These project and guest-faculty roles are filled by interview, not by a written recruitment examination.

The computer-based Visva-Bharati recruitment examination for non-teaching posts is conducted by NTA on vbharatirec.nta.ac.in, where admit cards and score cards are hosted. No fresh non-teaching recruitment examination cycle has been advertised there for 2026, so aspirants should watch both that portal and the university's career page.
