The official LBSNAA vacancy page lists 05 September 2026 as the last date. The circular refers to a 45-day period from publication in Employment Newspaper. Because the official notice does not provide a closing clock time, this timer uses 11:59:59 PM IST only as a convenience.

What Type of Recruitment Is This?
The vacancy is aimed at eligible officers from the Central Government, State Governments, Union Territories, Public Sector Undertakings, Universities, recognized Government Research Institutions and specified semi-government/statutory organisations, subject to the conditions in the circular.

Age Limit
This is the maximum age prescribed for appointment by deputation, including short-term contract. Candidates should apply the applicable service rules rather than generic age-relaxation figures used for ordinary direct recruitment.
Salary, Pay & Other Benefits
Pay
The Professor of Law post carries Level-13A: ₹1,31,100–₹2,16,600.
How Deputation Pay Is Regulated
The vacancy circular states that the pay of the selected candidate will be regulated under the applicable provisions of the DoPT O.M. No. 6/8/2009-Estt.(Pay-II) dated 17 June 2010, as amended from time to time.
Benefits
Other terms and benefits attached to the appointment are governed by the applicable deputation rules. This article deliberately does not promise a fixed allowance package because the notification does not state one universal in-hand-benefit figure.
Promotion & Career Growth
Candidates should understand an important distinction: this vacancy is being filled by deputation including short-term contract, not as a fresh permanent cadre recruitment.
For Deputationists
The selected officer remains subject to the governing deputation conditions and the relationship with the parent organisation/cadre. Selection to the Professor of Law post does not itself create a guaranteed promotion route within LBSNAA.
For Short-Term Contract Candidates
The appointment is not a promise of permanent absorption. Career progression, continuation or future appointment depends on the applicable rules and subsequent orders.
Selection Process
Selection Flow
- Application received through proper channel.
- Verification of service eligibility and prescribed law qualification.
- Scrutiny of legal experience and other essential/desirable credentials.
- Assessment of the candidate's biodata/CV and supporting documents.
- Consideration by the competent Selection Committee.
- Appointment/placement under the applicable deputation or short-term contract rules, subject to the competent authority's decision.
Deputation / Contract Period
The circular states that the period of deputation/contract, including a period of deputation or contract in another ex-cadre post held immediately before this appointment in the same or another Central Government organisation/department, shall ordinarily not exceed four years.
How to Apply – Detailed Step-by-Step Guide
Required Documents Checklist
Tick each item after verifying it against the official circular and the forwarding authority's requirements.
Forwarding Authority & Service Certification
The official biodata proforma contains a section for the Employer / Cadre Controlling Authority to countersign and certify the submitted information.
- the information in the application is correct according to records;
- the officer possesses the educational qualification and experience;
- the officer can be relieved immediately if selected;
- no vigilance case is pending/contemplated;
- integrity is certified;
- the complete ACR/APAR dossier or prescribed attested copies for the last five years are enclosed; and
- the major/minor penalty position for the last ten years is certified or disclosed.
Where to Send the Application
The vacancy circular is issued by the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration in Mussoorie. Applications are to be forwarded to the Academy through the proper channel with the prescribed documents.
Mussoorie – 248179
District Dehradun, Uttarakhand
The notification also lists the LBSNAA administration email in the letterhead. Candidates should verify current contact details from the official website before using email for any query, because the circular itself is based on proper-channel document submission rather than a normal online application.
Application Fee
Do not copy an application fee amount, exemption or online-payment process from another recruitment notice. The ₹500 / SC-ST / Women exemption example in the earlier template does not belong to this LBSNAA vacancy.
Language Requirement
The Professor of Law vacancy circular does not prescribe a separate local language eligibility condition. Candidates should therefore focus on the prescribed law qualification, service eligibility and legal experience.

` metadata Use your existing Blogger conditional logic and avoid creating duplicate canonical tags: ```html ``` For the article itself, Blogger should generate the canonical URL from the post permalink. Do not hard-code multiple canonical tags. ### C. Keep this post's SEO intent accurate The strongest title is based on: **LBSNAA + Professor of Law + 2026 + 1 Post + Deputation + Level-13A + Last Date** Do not use: **“LBSNAA Professor of Law Direct Recruitment”** because the official circular explicitly describes the appointment as **deputation including short-term contract**. ### D. Application instructions The official PDF includes a deputation **Biodata/Curriculum Vitae Proforma** and a separate **Employer/Cadre Controlling Authority certification**. It also requires the relevant employment/service information and supporting clearances. The certification includes, among other things, confirmation of no pending/contemplated vigilance case, integrity, the last five years' ACR/APAR dossier or prescribed attested copies, and the major/minor penalty position for the last ten years. ### E. Official deadline The LBSNAA vacancy page currently lists: **Application invited for the post of Professor of LAW in the LBSNAA, Mussoorie — Publish Date: 23 July 2026 — Last Date: 05 September 2026.** The circular itself is dated **22 July 2026** and states that eligible applications/documents should be sent within **45 days from publication in the Employment Newspaper**, which corresponds to the date shown on the LBSNAA vacancy page. ### F. Speed / Core Web Vitals The post code is intentionally lightweight: no Bootstrap, jQuery, Font Awesome, Google Fonts, external JavaScript library or external animation framework is loaded. That means the main performance improvements will come from your **Blogger theme**, especially by reducing render-blocking scripts, third-party widgets, oversized header images and unnecessary social/ads scripts. The post itself keeps CSS/JS scoped and loads only when the article is rendered. ### G. AdSense-safe content strategy The page uses explanatory content instead of copying the full notification. That is particularly important for a recruitment site because simply reproducing a government PDF as the article body provides little additional value. The best editorial additions here are the service-eligibility explanation, qualification routes, proper-channel application guide, document checklist, deputation-vs-direct-recruitment clarification, selection explanation and fraud warning.
