Teaching Associate at Gauhati University — Context
Gauhati University regularly conducts temporary/contractual Teaching Associate recruitments in specific departments (e.g., Anthropology, Philosophy, Women’s Studies) via walk-in interviews or short application notices. These roles are usually on a purely temporary basis to support teaching where faculty gaps exist.
Example from mid-2025 (similar ongoing temporary posts):
Gauhati University advertised Teaching Associate(s) (temporary) positions in the Department of Anthropology with a walk-in interview conducted in 2025.
In another case, the University sought Teaching Associates in Philosophy through a walk-in interview held in May 2025.
These are typical University practices — departments advertise Teaching Associate roles when required on a short-term basis rather than as a large centralized recruitment. They are not part of the large faculty recruitment (e.g., Professor/Assistant Professor) that closed with online applications by 31 Dec 2025 for 58 posts.

How to Track the Official Teaching Associate Notification for 2025
Since no single central GUI recruitment for “Teaching Associate” under Advertisement T/2025/3 (the major faculty drive) is listed in public teaching recruitment summaries (which cover Professors/Assistant Professors/Associate Professors only) — you should:
Visit the official Gauhati University Recruitment/Notifications page → Recruitment section on gauhati.ac.in.
Look for Department-specific Teaching Associate ads (often titled “Walk-in Interview for Teaching Associate(s)”).
Check Advertisement numbers and dates carefully — most temporary Teaching Associate notifications are separate from the large faculty drive and carry distinct advt numbers with interview dates.
Summary
Teaching Associate posts at Gaussian University are usually temporary/contractual and department-specific.
Recent past notices (e.g., in 2025) show such positions announced via walk-in interviews in select departments.
