BASU Associate Professor and Assistant Professor Salary 2026
This is one of the biggest draws of BASU Recruitment 2026 — a UGC-pattern academic pay scale with strong long-term growth.
- Associate Professor (Academic Level-13A): ₹1,31,400 – ₹2,17,100 per month, plus applicable Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA), and other academic allowances as per Bihar government norms.

BASU Selection Process 2026
Selection for BASU Recruitment 2026 happens in two stages:
- Scrutiny of Application/Score Card – Your application and score card are evaluated against the criteria fixed for the post, based on your academic and research record.
- Interview – Shortlisted candidates appear for a personal interview. General candidates need a minimum of 50% marks in the interview to make the merit list, while SC/ST, Divyang, and female candidates (of any category) need 32% marks to qualify.
Simply meeting the minimum qualifications doesn’t guarantee selection — the final merit list depends on your overall score in both stages.
How to Apply for BASU Recruitment 2026
Since this is an offline recruitment drive, follow these steps carefully:
- Visit the official BASU website at basu.org.in and download the application form.
- Fill in your personal details, educational qualifications, work experience, and category information accurately.
- Complete the score card in the prescribed format, mentioning the page number of each supporting document you attach. Incomplete score cards lead to straight rejection.

- Number every page of your application and its enclosures, and sign at the bottom of each page.
- Enclose the application fee as a Bank Draft in favour of “Finance Comptroller, Bihar Animal Sciences University, Patna.”
- Write “Application for the post of ___ Department/Discipline & Name of the College” on the envelope.
- Send the complete application by Speed Post/Registered Post to: The Registrar, Bihar Animal Sciences University, P.O.: Bihar Veterinary College, Patna – 800014.
- In-service candidates should apply through the proper channel, though an advance copy with the fee can be sent by the deadline, subject to a No Objection Certificate (NOC) at the interview stage.
- Apply separately, with separate fees, if you’re applying for posts at both Bihar Veterinary College, Patna, and the College of Veterinary & Animal Sciences, Kishanganj.
💡 Pro Tip: Keep photocopies of your entire application set before posting it — this makes it easy to track what you submitted if you’re called for an interview months later.
