The steps given below give the process through which an application is progressed.

Other than ensuring that your application is complete and accurate, please make sure that you are able to give a technical seminar on your teaching/research background as also on your plans to teach and do research if you were to join BITS. Also ensure that the referees will indeed write letters of reference if and when we write to them. Briefly:

• Applications must be submitted in the prescribed form on BITS’ website. Please ensure that you meet the minimum qualification before applying. However, you may consider applying if you expect to complete the minimum degree requirements within the next 3 months, or so. The appointment will however be conditional upon your completing the degree requirements.
• Incomplete applications will not be entertained.
• You must indicate the campuses for which you wish to be considered. Your application will be considered for short-listing by the concerned committees, one for each discipline and campus you wish to be considered.
• Once the committee decides to take your application forward, you may be invited to give a technical seminar on your (i) background, (ii) research that you have carried out thus far, (iii) your plans to teach and do research if and when you join BITS Pilani. If you have expressed interest in more than one campus, you may have to repeat the seminar at other campuses as well. The seminar may be given in person, or using technology (audio- or video-conferencing).
• The committee may also seek letters of reference from the referees that you have identified in your application. Please be sure they will respond in time.
• There may be a cross-discipline review of the short-listing done by various departments in a given campus. This will be followed by a cross-campus review by the university-level short-listing committee.
• Candidates who are finally short-listed by the university-level short-listing committee will be called for interview by a “selection committee”, one for each discipline, but common to all campuses. It will be to your advantage if you were to appear in person before the committee. However, if you simply cannot, the selection committee would like to interact with you using video-conferencing or over telephone.
• You will be informed in due course of time about the outcome of your application irrespective of whether you are selected or not. You are welcome to contact us at deanfaculty@hyderabad.bits-pilani.ac.in,if you do not receive any communication from us within 3 months of your application.
