DCAC Principal Recruitment 2026

DCAC Principal Recruitment 2026 — 1 post

Delhi College of Arts and Commerce (DCAC), University of Delhi, Netaji Nagar, New Delhi, has invited online applications for the post of Principal. This is a single named post under Advertisement No. DCAC/Advt./Principal/2026/677 dated 20 August 2026. The notice itself does not print a vacancy count, so the post is carried as one vacancy and no larger figure should be assumed. Applications are accepted online only through the University of Delhi recruitment portal.

Pay — Academic Pay Level 14 only

The post carries Academic Pay Level 14 of the 7th Central Pay Commission Pay Matrix. The notice prints the pay level only and no rupee figure, so no monthly salary figure is given here and none should be assumed from the level alone.

Who can apply

You need a Ph.D. degree, and you must be a Professor or Associate Professor with a total of at least 15 years of teaching or research experience in universities, colleges and other institutions of higher education. You must also have a minimum of 10 research publications in UGC Care List and SCOPUS journals, and a minimum Research Score of 110 as per the annexures to the brochure. The eligibility conditions follow the UGC regulations as adopted by the University of Delhi.

No age limit is stated anywhere in the advertisement or its annexures. Do not assume any upper or lower age limit.

Tenure

The appointment is for 5 years, extendable for another term of 5 years on the basis of a performance assessment by a committee appointed by the University. After the term, the incumbent rejoins the parent organisation as Professor.

Fee

The application fee is Rs. 2,000 flat, payable online only by credit card, debit card or Net Banking. It is non-refundable. No category-wise exemption is stated anywhere in the brochure, so the single flat fee applies to all applicants.

Selection

Shortlisted candidates will be called for interview and must report with original certificates, a photo identity proof and a set of self-certified photocopies. Candidates working in Government or Public Sector Undertakings must submit a No Objection Certificate from the employer at the time of interview. Applications with incomplete information or without the requisite fee are rejected.

Last date — read the alternative carefully

The last date is 21 November 2026, or two weeks from the date of publication of the advertisement in the Employment News, whichever is later. Do not treat 21 November 2026 as a fixed deadline without checking the Employment News publication date — the later of the two dates applies.
