💡 Expert Tip

Before you courier anything, fill the Academic Score Card (Annexure-III for Associate Professor, Annexure-IV for Assistant Professor) line by line and write the exact page number of the supporting document against every claimed score — an incomplete score card gets your application marked INCOMPLETE AND REJECTED outright, no exceptions. Also number and sign every single page of your form and enclosures at the bottom; unsigned pages are a common rejection reason in university recruitments like this. If you're currently in service, don't wait till the last date to route your application through proper channel — send the advance copy with fee yourself and carry your NOC to the interview, or your candidature can be rejected on the spot. Since applications only reach BASU by Speed Post/Registered Post, courier at least a week early; the University has explicitly said it won't take responsibility for postal delay.
