Recruitment and Career Advancement Scheme committees read a professor’s profile summary alongside a scoring sheet, so order matters. Start with PhD and NET, SET or JRF eligibility, then years and levels taught, indexed publications, funded projects and PhD supervision, followed by NAAC, NBA, IQAC or board of studies work. Every claim gets verified.

PhD on adolescent wellbeing and UGC-NET JRF, with papers in peer-reviewed journals and two book chapters. Designs blended learning modules, runs the campus peer-support programme with the student welfare office and is co-investigator on a state-funded study of school mental-health literacy.
National and international journals is a phrase committees distrust. The rewrite gives discipline, levels, college type, thesis topic, SET, an exact paper count with indexing, a lab responsibility and a named NAAC criterion.

Written by the DigitalCVMaker team for professors applying in India. Every example is original — none is copied from a real person’s profile — and each is built around what employers and clients in this field look for: the role, a specialism, and proof you can back up. We revise the page when that changes; the date at the top shows the last update.
These are examples to adapt, not real people. Swap in your own numbers, specialisation, city and achievements — it only works when every word is true for you.
Real websites published by members — see how they word their headline, summary and skills.
Present it as teaching experience with the exact appointment type, such as “guest faculty, 18 months, full semester load”. Committees count experience under UGC rules differently depending on the appointment, so accurate labels avoid problems at verification. Highlight courses taught independently and any exam or lab duties you handled.
Mention it when you were a course coordinator or content creator, not just a learner. Give the course topic, level and your role, such as “developed a 12-week SWAYAM course on econometrics as co-coordinator”. Such work signals teaching innovation and counts in several institutional appraisal formats.
