HPPSC Assistant Professor 2026 - Subject-Wise Vacancies (369 Posts)
- The 369 posts are spread unevenly across 22 subjects, with English (39 posts) carrying the largest share, followed by Chemistry and Hindi (34 posts each), while Dance and Tabla have only 2 posts each. All posts, regardless of subject, carry the same Rs. 35,000/- monthly pay.
Eligibility Criteria
- HPPSC requires a Master's degree with at least 55% marks (50% for SC/ST/OBC and PwBD) in the relevant subject, a qualifying NET/SLET/SET score, and an age between 18 and 45 years as on 1 January 2026. The subject of the Master's degree must correspond to the post applied for.
- Master's degree with 55% marks (or equivalent grade) in the relevant subject from a recognized university, or an equivalent recognized foreign degree.
- 5% relaxation (55% to 50%) for SC/ST/OBC (non-creamy layer) and Physically/Visually Handicapped candidates.
- 5% relaxation for Ph.D. holders who completed their Master's before September 1991.
- NET (UGC/CSIR) or equivalent SLET/SET is the minimum eligibility condition for the post.
- Ph.D. holders are exempt from NET/SLET/SET, provided the Ph.D. was awarded in regular mode, evaluated by at least two external examiners, included an open viva-voce, and is backed by at least two published papers (one refereed) plus two conference presentations.
- Candidates who qualified SET-2026 are also eligible; the window will reopen for them if the SET-2026 result comes after the regular closing date.

A 5-year relaxation in upper age applies only to Bonafide SC/ST/OBC, Ward of Freedom Fighters, and Persons with Disabilities of HP, and only if the post is reserved for that category in the subject applied for; HP Government employees and Ex-Servicemen get relaxation per separate government instructions.
Application Fee and How to Apply
- The application fee is a flat Rs. 600 for all candidates, paid online via Debit Card, Credit Card, UPI, or other digital modes, and is non-refundable and non-transferable once paid. Since each subject is a separate application, the fee must be paid afresh for every subject applied to.
