Salary
The advertised pay range is Rs. 15,000–37,000 per month, varying post-wise (the higher end corresponding to the Research Assistant level). The exact per-post salary is not broken up in the notice — confirm it from the official notification.
One honest note: these are project-based posts under a sponsored research project, not permanent university appointments. Candidates should check the engagement duration and terms in the notification and go in with clear expectations.
Selection Process
- Shortlisting of applications — forms are screened against the eligibility criteria for each post.
- Interview — on 19 October 2026, before Dr. Nidhi (Principal Investigator) at MDU-CPAS, Gurugram.
- Document verification — originals checked after the interview.
There is no written test. For research project posts, the interview typically focuses on your subject background (commerce for the M.Com posts), any research or fieldwork experience, and your availability for project work. Field Investigator candidates should be ready to talk about survey and field data collection work.
How to Apply — By Email Only
Despite being described as an offline recruitment, the actual submission mode is email. There is no portal and no physical submission counter:
- Download the application form from the link in the Important Links section below.
- Fill the application in the enclosed Performa format. Match every detail with your certificates.
- Scan your self-attested copies of all original documents (list below). Keep scans clear and legible — blurry scans are a common reason for rejection in email-based recruitments.
- Email the filled form along with the scanned documents (and demand draft, if confirmed as required) to: nidhi.cpas@mdurohtak.ac.in
- Send it well before 17 October 2026. Do not wait for the last evening — email delays and wrong-address typos are unfixable after the deadline.
- Use a clear subject line (e.g., “Application for the post of ___ — MDU HSRF Project”) so your mail does not get lost.
Documents Required
- Filled application in the enclosed Performa
- Self-attested scanned copies of educational certificates (Graduation / M.Com / PhD / NET as applicable)
- Age proof
- Caste/category certificate (if claiming relaxation)

Mistakes That Can Cost You This Opportunity
- Applying for the wrong tier. M.Com + PhD/NET, plain M.Com, and Graduate are three separate bars. Match your qualification to the right post.
- Waiting till 17 October evening. With the interview on 19 October, late or faulty applications get no second chance.
- Blurry scans. Email applications live or die on document legibility. Scan at a readable resolution; phone photos in dim light are not scans.
- Typo in the email address. Verify nidhi.cpas@mdurohtak.ac.in before sending.
- Ignoring the demand draft question. The notice mentions one despite nil fee — confirm from the notification rather than assuming.
- Assuming it is a permanent post. These are project-based engagements; check the tenure terms in the notification.
