What should a professor resume include?
Colleges and universities in India shortlist teaching faculty on UGC eligibility first: NET, SET or a PhD as per current regulations, followed by publications, teaching load and academic service. A professor’s resume should list subjects taught, indexed papers, funded projects, PhD supervision and committee roles such as NAAC or IQAC work, in a clean academic format.
Skills recruiters look for:
- Undergraduate and postgraduate teaching
- Research design and methodology
- Academic writing and publishing
- PhD and dissertation supervision
- Outcome-based education and CO-PO mapping
From our sample resumes:
- Sneha states UGC NET with JRF and thesis status in her very first lines, answering the eligibility question every screening committee asks before it reads teaching experience.
- Her research-fellow entry mixes tutorials, publications and project work, which shows that a fresher can already carry a teaching load alongside research output.
