The Mar Baselios Institute of Technology and Science (MBITS) has invited applications for the post of Assistant Professor in Computer Science and Engineering. The recruitment process, open from 1 to 30 September 2025, outlines eligibility, application procedures, and salary frameworks for interested candidates.
Eligibility Criteria for Computer Science Assistant Professors
Applicants must hold a Master of Engineering (M.E.) or Master of Technology (M.Tech.) in Computer Science and Engineering or a related discipline. A Bachelor’s degree (B.E. or B.Tech.) with at least first-class marks in either undergraduate or postgraduate study is also required.
While a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) is not mandatory, MBITS notes that candidates with doctoral qualifications or those pursuing research will be given preference, in line with national higher education trends.
Application Process and Key Deadlines
The application window runs until 30 September 2025, according to the MBITS official recruitment notice. Candidates must prepare a curriculum vitae, academic transcripts, and a brief statement outlining their teaching philosophy and research interests.
All applications should be sent via email to MBITS’s human resources department with the subject line: Application for the Post of Assistant Professor – Computer Science and Engineering. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted for interviews and teaching demonstrations.
Salary Structure and Pay Scale
MBITS has not published specific salary details for this recruitment. However, as an AICTE-approved (All India Council for Technical Education) institution affiliated with the APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University, Kerala, compensation is expected to align with AICTE norms.
The AICTE’s revised pay structure places Assistant Professors in the pay band of ₹15,600–39,100 with an Academic Grade Pay (AGP) starting at ₹7,000. Progression to higher AGPs is possible based on performance and seniority.
For comparison, data from Glassdoor indicates that Assistant Professors in Kerala typically earn between ₹22,000 and ₹48,000 per month, though private institutions may offer higher packages depending on qualifications and institutional resources.
Institutional Context
Founded in Kerala, MBITS is a self-financing engineering college offering undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in technology. The institution follows national standards set by AICTE and state-level guidelines under the university framework.
This recruitment comes at a time when Indian engineering colleges are facing a shortage of qualified faculty, particularly in Computer Science and related fields, which remain among the most sought-after courses for students.
Expert Perspectives
Higher education analysts say the MBITS announcement reflects broader patterns. “Engineering colleges across India are competing for qualified faculty in computer science, where industry salaries often outpace academic pay,” said Dr. R. Anil, former vice-chancellor of APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University.
He added that institutions offering transparent career growth and research opportunities could better attract top candidates.
